A while back I went to the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena with Moris.

We were at the museum shop and saw this post card:

van-gogh-the-mulberry-tree_422_14663.jpg

 

You instantly know it's a Van Gogh painting because of the swirls-- I mean, his distinct use of texture..

I didn't think much of it.. it looks whatever, kinda overwhelming and kinda ugly.

Then we walked around and came across that exact painting.  I had no idea it was there. 

And It was beautiful! You really can't capture how it looks in picture at all.  It's probably my favorite painting now.

Now, I can't wait to go to NYC to see Starry Night.

Oh yeah, so art and whatever. I really like landscapes, and Sargent, who I know his art is pretty much known for pretty much saying absolutely nothing, but he painted stunning landscapes.

Also, I visited The Frick in New York and it was really cool.

For the past 2 years I've been trying to go to all the major ones here.. because why not.
I've been to LACMA, both MOCAs, The Getty, The Getty Villa, and Natural History (I wanted to see dinosaurs). There's still a bunch more I want to go to.

I only end up liking a few paintings whenever I go, but some of the museums are architecturally beautiful themselves, so it's worth it.

But The Museum of Contemporary Art/MOCA... is dumb, except for the one Pollock painting. One piece was just random things stapled to a board and spray painted over.

Well look at you, little miss shiny shoes with all your snooty art museums. YOU THINK YOU'RE SO GREAT.

 Every other exhibit: "I QUESTION THE MERITS OF THIS SO CALLED ART, IF IT CAN SO BE CALLED."

It's true. He said it a lot that day. I'm lame, so I was still giggling after the 50th time.
