LACMA on Tuesday

I roamed around the Los Angeles County Museum of Art this afternoon and found some things new and revisited some old favorites.  Let me show you what I appreciated today.

"Painting and Music (Portrait of the Artist's Son," 1800 by Martin Drolling born in Oberhergheim, 1752 died in Paris in 1817.  The son, Michel Martin Drolling, 1789 to 1851 was also a successful painter.

"Sous-Bois," 1894 by Paul Cezanne, France 1839-1906
Cezanne's use of greens, blues and yellow/orange create a special mood that I appreciate.

"The Swineherd," 1888 by Paul Gauguin, France 1849-1903



"The Field of Derout-Lollichon," 1886 by Paul Gauguin




"The Red Cow," 1889 by Paul Gauguin
I like these three country scenes with deep colors.  They show some of  the life of a farmer in France



"The Earth," in 1884-99 by Auguste Rodin born 1840 - 1917
This is the second of 12 casts.  "The recumbent body that forms the 'skyline' seems to emerge from the primordial mud..."
