LACMA Afternoon

I returned to appreciate the art on level 3 in the Art of Americas Bldg.
Mary Cassat's "Mother about to Wash Her Sleepy Child, 1880
Likely this is Mary Cassat's first painting of a mother and child, her most famous subjects.
Marshmallow Sofa, 1956, by George Nelson Associates in New York, made by Herman Miller Furniture Company.
Emil Bisttram's Projection No. # (Eye in the Sky), 1936.
Winslow Homer's " The Cotton Pickers", 1876
Winslow Homer visited 'Birginia after the Civil War and painted this picture after his trip.  Two former slave women pause for a moment in their labors...work that remained unchanged from the prewar years.  They are seen surrounded by a sea of cotton.  Homer is famous of his sea scape's...a different kind of sea here.

Frederick Hammersley"s "Around a round", 1959
