Trips to The MoMa

A few visuals from my short visit to The MoMa today...

Not sure why this place just wan't inspiring me today, I think I was in the classical art mood... but none the less, these pieces definitely caught my eye and my mind. There was also plenty of Matisse, Van Gogh, Seurat that always blows my mind up close but that deserves to be seen in person, no camera can truly capture those.

Do yourself a favor and hit up a museum or gallery this week, we all could use more art in our lives.


Respect, love, and art.

"Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" Tribute Exhibit at The Met

To honor the late great Alexander McQueen, it has just been announced that The Metropolitan Museum of Art will be displaying a full exhibit of his entire career's worth of work, from college to his final collection. The show will be called “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty”, set to open Spring 2011.








I'm beyond excited for this show because I've always seen McQueen as a costume designer more than a traditional fashion designer, so to track his progression over the past two decades from school to Givenchy to the designer we know now, will be quite interesting. Huge *clap clap* to The Met for making this tribute happen.

The show will be up from May 4 to July 31, 2011, launching with an opening gala on May 2nd. It's not exactly right around the corner, but it's only up for a couple of months so be sure to make some time in your calendars for this.
