New York Impressions Four -Museums - James Rosenquist

Wow! I had a rare treat yesterday. While I was at the MOMA,  I walked into a small room filled with wall to wall paintings by  pop artist James Rosenquest. He was there being interviewed for an art magazine.  The article is suppose to be posted online next week.  I will post a link to it once I find it.  I had a wonderful opportunity to ask him some questions and he was very gracious.

"F-111" is 86 feet long and wraps around four walls and is extremely powerful to be immersed in these images.

 Some details:

The interviewer asked Mr. Rosenquest about the spaghetti, and his response was that he found "spaghetti to be very sexy."

New York - Impressions Four - Museums part two

 Yesterday I visited the MOMA, my favorite modern art museum.  Over the years it has gone through many expansions and changes.  It has a wonderful restaurant but I like the cafe even better!  Museum restaurants are the my favorite places to eat lunch.

Presently there is a small drawing show where I found this treasure by Mark Rothko:

Some other works that caught my eye:
Yummy brushes!
