San Fran Love, Part 11: the SFMOMA

crossword puzzle squares and humming fans
But Eddie, is it Art? The Boy and I went to the SFMOMA our last full day in San Francisco, mostly to check out Cindy Sherman’s exhibit but also everything else.

walk on art
This “art” was a big room with a tiled floor and a bunch of humming, rotating fans overhead. Yomp.

Warhol
I met Andy Warhol at a really chic party
Oh blow it out your hairdo ’cause you work at Hardees

study for Le bonheur de vivre
Matisse! One of the Boy’s favorite artists. This is a study for one of his most famous paintings, “The Joy of Life”.

Raymond Jonson
Raymond Jonson. I thought it was cool, especially the off-kilter framing.

Narkissos, by Jess
The Boy really liked this piece, by an artist simply known as “Jess”. It took him more than 30 years to complete!

Margaret Kilgallen
A large piece by Margaret Kilgallen, one of the “Beautiful Losers”. You’ve seen that film, right? At least twice? Gooooood. Important!

love
It’s Love, baby. The guy standing next to it kind of coordinates.

James Rosenquist
James Rosenquist. Don’t ask me why, I just like it. Maybe because of the glitter? Probably because of the glitter.

Georgia O'Keeffe
Georgia O’Keeffe has never been one of my favorites, but did you know she was 98 when she died? That’s a long life!

Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo’s self-portrait with her husband. She painted her feet really tiny.

Diego Rivera
Diego Rivera.

Cindy Sherman exhibit
Of course no photography was allowed in the Cindy Sherman exhibit, but here’s the hallway. It was a pretty amazing exhibit–I’ve liked her work for a long time. It’s kind of…grotesque. Especially the clown series.

Barry McGee
Checking out Barry McGee’s wall. He’s another “Beautiful Loser”, one of my favorites.

a Matisse
More Matisse!

Woman with Hat
And finally, one last Matisse. This is a painting of his wife, and it’s called, “Woman with Hat”. Gotta love those creative painting names.

Okay bloggy loggies, one more SF entry! Then it’s back to dogs and shoes and plants and flowers and self-portraits. The usual. I have quite a bit on my camera, just waiting to be uploaded, hurray!
