The first picture is a Picasso. One of the most eye-catching features in the painting is that the brown (woodlooking) section is actually filled in with sand and creates an image that is nowhere near accurately expressed in the picture.
The second picture is a Van Gogh and is one of Lauren's favorite. The museum contained an extensive collecting of Van Gogh's oil paintings including his second painting of the Potato eaters.
The third picture depicts probably one of my new favorite styles which is Pointillism. This is where mere dots or dabs of paint are used to create the entire picture. Hard to tell from the painting, but it is true! This is a portion of a Seurat, one of the more influential painters to Van Gogh.
We have tried to give a glimpse into this amazing museum but we learned the meaning of the saying, you must be here to fully experience the complexity and emotion of the art.
