I returned for my second visit to The Broad Museum with some of the Veterans in my class at the V.A. We enjoyed roaming around the third and first floor galleries and I found a few items that I missed on my previous visit. Here are my additional photos from The Broad:
 |
| "Untitled (White Riot)," 1982 by Robert Longo, U.S. b. 1953, charcoal, graphite, and ink on two paper panels. "Longo photographed the dressed-up friends ... and they danced wildly under the fire of loud sounds and tennis balls. His charcoal renderings of the photographs take only the figures dislocating their bodies in space and exaggerating their torqued and tangled poses." |

 |
| "Under the Table," 1994 by Robert Therrien, U.S. 1947, wood, metal and enamel. "The table, at nearly ten feet tall, exudes an extraordinary presence. One is compelled to walk underneath it, conjuring up the memory of what it felt like to be literally under the table as a small child.. Complicated and powerful, the work taps into the subconscious, using scale to summon recollections as a familiar fragrance or flavor might." |
 |
| "Demonic Roland," 1987 by David Salle, U.S. b. 1952, acrylic and oil on canvas |
 |
| "The Walk Home," 1985 by Julian Schnabel, U.S. b. 1951, oil, plates, copper, bronze, fiberglass, and Bondo on six wood panels. "In 'The Walk Home,' Schnabel paints on broken plates and tableware mounted on wood in his signature 1980's style. |
 |
| "Haircut," 1985 by Eric Fischl, U.S. 1948, oil on linen |
 |
| "The Newspaper as National Voodoo: A Brief History of the U.S.A.," 1986 by David Wojnarowicz, U.W., 1954=1992, acrylic, spray paint, and collage on wood. "Unapologetically making art about homosexuality during the peak of the AIDS crisis in New York, Wojnarowica exposed the marginalization and the suppression of a stigmatized community." |
