As per the usual, when I have a Saturday off, I took a trip to the Wichita Art Museum. I'll be the first to admit that I'm cheap, and since they have free admission on Saturdays, it's the only day I'll go. I had another reason to go that day, but it didn't pan out, and I'd rather not talk about it, so I'm not going to. Either way, they had a wonderful exhibition of still lifes from their permanent collection in one of the lower galleries. Most of these are new to me, as I'm pretty sure they don't see the light of day very often. I love when they supplement with pieces in their vaults. Art should be seen, not tucked away. I took a few pictures, of my favorite pieces, and I thought I would share them with you guys. I'll be the first to admit that I suck at taking pictures of art work hanging on a wall, it's harder than you think it would be.

ReplyDeleteWhat a treat! I love still lifes and don't think I can pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love these soooo much!! I am obsessed with art. I too love to go to my museum on free days. Why not??? My museum even lets people see the special exhibits for free on those days.
