American Visonary Art Museum


On my trip east... my brother and i visited [briefly] the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, MD. it rocks!
you must go see -- if you are ever in the area.

We also went to the Corcoran Art Museum -- and saw Richard Avedon's photographic portraits of People in Power commissioned by ROLLING STONE magazine. these portraits were taken through the 60's and 70's. awesome!

The National Portrait gallery had two memorable exhibits --Women of Our Time: Twentieth Century Photographs.......and... my personal favorite -- Alfred Steiglitz and Georgia O'Keefe. I have never seen so many O'Keefe in one place at once! truly inspirational.
The last museum we visited was the National Museum for Women in the Arts.
There was a nice collection and overview photo exhibit -- but nothing too eye-catching -- except the Frieda Kahlo.

Washington DC


we had the perfect day today-- weather wise and parking wise..... the drive into DC was quick. we went to the NATIONAL GALLERY of ART to see the Pompeii exhibit, Ansel Adams, Jan Lievens, as well as some of the contemporary collection.

evan had never been to the I M Pei wing. The Calder was stunning. Sam, my webmaster-[and brother] worked on my website tonight. there are a couple of new pages recent work.
