Yesterday we went to the University of Arizona Museum of Art. I wanted to see a specific painting which I'll tell you about in another post. I didn't realize that the museum has such an impressive collection of paintings.
Here is a truly wonderful Georgia O'Keeffe. It's called "Red Canna".
Above is an Edward Hopper called "The City". It shows his love of New York City around Washington Square.
To the right is a Mark Rothko called "Green on Blue".
Here is a Jackson Pollack called simply "Number 20".
Pollack usually worked on a massive scale but this particular painting was painted on the back of a game board. The game was called Autograph Baseball Game from 1948.
I'm glad I finally visited this museum. It had some unexpected treasures.
Great shadows and patterns!
ReplyDeleteI need to go museum hopping there next February
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection that you showed us, Sharon. I like them all especially the Pollack.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Great selection . That museum looks like a destination for me to venture to! Arizona has not been on my list of places to visit , politics and horrid sheriff shenanigans, but your photos are stunning, enticing beyond the insanity of Arizona's weird policies. The art and land there is grand!
ReplyDeleteA good mix of works by famous artists.

I recognized O'Keefe's.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go to that museum!!
Fantastic! I love O'Keeffe and Hopper. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing that Hopper painting before.
ReplyDeleteWow! You saw some real treasures! Love all the artists you shared.

Edward Hopper is one of my favourite artists, especially the ones he's done of a lady waiting in a cafe.
ReplyDeleteThe entrance is quite striking. Love the second painting the most.
