Blog Neglect

I'm afraid I am guilty of blog neglect. The good news there is that it gave time for my website, http://www.jenniferpanick.com/ to go live! On the sight, there a tab that redirects back to here.

I spent another lovely day museum hopping on Saturday. I visited the Vermeer's at the Met, as well as the Monet Waterlilies at the MoMa.

I must say that I was distinctly disappointed at the MoMa's showing. There were only six in the entire show, which was just a little room next to the new cafe on the 2nd floor. The biggest painting was of course the gorgeous three-panel painting which is always at the MoMa in any case.

The Vermeer show had a little more substance, including The Milkmaid which hasn't been here in 75 years. They even had a case with the pitcher and other items that were depicted in with the Milkmaid.

I enjoyed the wall when you first enter the most. It was tiled with prints of all of Vermeer's works from the Milkmaid to the Girl with the Pearl Earring. It's always fascinating to see an artist's collected works all together, particularly with Vermeer. With all his paintings lined up, you can really see his use of the camera obscura, and his studio window as a device in a great portion of his paintings.

More updates to this blog and my website to come!
