Art tour

Sue is here and we have visited a few art museums in NY and Boston lately, and seen paintings of many great artists: Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Georges Seurat, Alfred Sisley, Max Beckmann...

In the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) of NY, we saw van Gogh's The Starry Night. They also have an exhibit of Georges Seurat. Although they don't have the final work of Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, they are showing a collections of over 20 studies Seurat made in preparation for the work.

In Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY, I looked at The Cornfield with Cypresses as close as 3 inches from the painting and saw how thick the paint he had put on the canvas.
