Museum

The Art Gallery of New South Wales

I've been reviewing my photos and I somehow missed posting this museum visit to The Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney.  I thought I had shared, but a google search of my blog showed me that I was mistaken.  I thought you might enjoy the mixture of classical and contemporary art as much as I did.  Take a peek:

  • I really like seeing art museums from your travels which I will not likely see. In the photo of the window, why is the water horizon line not parallel with the lines of the top and bottom of the window?

  • Thanks Julie for your museum tours. Many times they are places they I may never see in person. I love the way you ‘close up’ on parts of an item and bring our attention to something we might not notice.
    I especially noticed how the word RED was reflected in the floor, making me realize another dimension of the art work. I also was struck by the paintings of people ’embedded’ within each other…they were so subtle, but really spoke to me.

  • my favorites were the series of figures with abstract elements. i couldn’t tell what the materials were, but they had a softness that reminded me of pastels or chalk. they were expressive.

  • I agree with Teddi the figures intertwined but were seperate.. Who was the artist? It was like a big doodle then figures integrated. It made me think of loosening up my own artwork. Cool.

  • The last few works, of the 7 panel drawing of women, the large drawn male face, the cardboard panels propped up against the wall, are all works from the 2016 Artexpress exhibition (year 12/final year high school art students) which was held in the Yiribana gallery space at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, March – May 2016. Amazing works by high school students! Here’s the link:
