Google the Guggenheim– Part One

One of the most interesting museums, architecturally speaking is the Guggenheim.  It was designed by none other than Frank Lloyd Wright.   Here are a few shots of this remarkable museum….

And on the inside you go round and round up a walkway to the top.

This museum looks rather like a spaceship from outer space, and so I was not entirely surprised that the first exhibit I saw was large green men!!

Here are some of the paintings they added to the collection…

These are paintings of a park that Edouard Vuillard was so obsessed with he painted it numerous times over a 20 year period. It was called Place Vintimille.

While the following painting may not much look like a typical Picasso, it is one entitled the 14th of July.

This painting is related to another Picasso… this one…

Yet another picture from Picasso’s pre-cubist period is this painting of Fernanda with a Black Mantilla

There are very few Monet’s in the Guggenheim collection but here is one of interest….

And here is one more by him entitled Before the Mirror

Here is another by Manet entitled Portrait of the Countess Albazzi

Eduard Degas is of course famous for his many many paintings of ballerinas, something of a obsession with him, and here is one of those…

This one is entitled dancers in. green and yellow.
