The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia is much smaller than ones I have been to, but their exhibits are as interesting as any I have seen in larger museums.
If you need to see anything up close, don't forget you can enlarge each photo by clicking on them for a better view, and an easier read of the explanations.
My tastes in art tend to be more traditional...
but I can still appreciate an artist's work and their reasons for creating such a piece.
And I really liked the flooring, as I did the colors they used for painting this large room.
There were others on display but I think I have shared enough for today. I will have one more post on an exhibit tomorrow, one that I found so interesting I am going to make it the main subject of my next post.
Enjoy your week everyone, and thank you for taking a look at my shares from the Fralin Museum of Art in Charlottesville, Virginia.
I really must go! I especially like the Pompeii exhibit. And Marisol. One could look at that forever, and still see new things!
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, Pompeii was one of my favorites too. I would like my son to see it as he visited the ruins of Pompeii years ago with his grandfather, and I remember his photos vividly.
DeleteThis really looks like a very interesting museum.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kay, it certainly was.
DeleteIt might be smaller than some, but there are hours (and hours) worth of wonder just in the pieces you have shared.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks.
I agree totally EC, thank you and you are very welcome.
DeleteMuseums hold such amazing treasures, and the artwork is so unique. Just imagine the time it took for people to create these beauties. Hugs and Happy Monday! RO
ReplyDeleteHi RO, I have loved browsing around museums ever since I was a child. That thought has crossed my mind too. Hugs and a Happy Tuesday to you RO, I am a little late catching up here.
DeleteA exposição fotográfica é muito interessante.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

Obrigado, estou feliz que você pense assim. Um abraço e uma boa semana para você.
DeleteThanks for sharing your art appreciation. I like the flooring too.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome Christine. Yes, that flooring is really nice.
DeleteNice to see diversity in cultures and in art. For some reason when I saw the print of the storage shelf, I was reminded of skeletons and old bones.
ReplyDeleteI do agree Penelope. Interesting thought but I can see why now you mentioned it.
Deletemy favorite photos today are the rooms. I love the symmetry of the walls and the photos. that is what appeals to me. for some reason, I like that first painting of a subject that I don't love. the pants drooping off. the painting appeals to me, not sure why. true talent in all of them
ReplyDeleteI agree Sandra, they are really beautifully done. And I was quite taken with that painting too, and like you I had the same feeling.
DeleteHello, there is so much to see, a great exhibit and museum! Enjoy your day, have a great new week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, you too.
DeleteWow!! Very interesting!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
Hi Debbie, thank you. I will be visiting again shortly. Hugs from me.
DeleteThe Pompeii photos would fascinate me.
ReplyDeleteThanks William, they truly were fascinating.
DeleteI tend to like the more traditional, too, but then every now and then something modern really grabs me. Some of all of it, I am amazed at the talent, and some I wonder how did it get there!
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same way Rose.
DeleteI love going to art galleries and although these are interesting, they are not something I woujld have at home. Sorry I was away last week and could not comment. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret, I understand totally. I enjoyed looking very much.
