sunday field trip

Yesterday, my loving husband said that he would take care of our baby so that I could enjoy some art. I went to two museums, Neue Galerie (neuegalerie.org) and the National Academy Museum (nationalacademy.org), and the colors of the paintings were sooo amazing.
At Neue Galerie, Gustav Klimt's paintings used patterns to delineate figures and backgrounds, instead of traditional lines and shadows. The famous portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer definitely had me entranced. In the gallery bookstore, I spotted a book about the backstory of the painting's subject, The Lady in Gold by Anne Marie O'Connor, which I am very interested in reading.
