And thank you for bringing Mr. E with you! I was bummed that he couldn't go but it's nice to see that you took such good care of him in abbreviated form--I'm sure he had fun! Side note: the Mona Lisa was pretty disappointing to me when I saw it in the Louvre--all that trekking around flying past great artwork desperately tryibng to keep up with the tour guide to see a tiny painting behind bulletproof glass and 100 other gawking admirers. SIGH. I should have brought binoculars! Oh well! There have also been times when I've been in awe standing before a painting I thought I'd only ever see in books...the Van Gogh I reached out and tried to touch without even thinking because the paint was just so beautiful. THAT makes up for the "Mona Lisa's!"Mrs. Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09923125203906064082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-75575617674211387062012-03-05T19:05:47.892-05:002012-03-05T19:05:47.892-05:00Janis it was fun to meet and hang out.

Looks like you all had a blast-- I actually considered going from here but tickets from here to NYC are just too pricey. Will definitely be hitting MOMA when I'm in NJ this summer visiting my folks. :)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040698005992953532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-83583226164200817222012-03-04T23:49:50.649-05:002012-03-04T23:49:50.649-05:00The Frida painting is really small too, isn't ...The Frida painting is really small too, isn't it? But the Monet waterlilies are so huge they take up a whole museum wall. Guernica used to have its own wall too and I remember a Chuck Close painting that used to be there that was also wall-sized.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-73803616101339593162012-03-04T23:45:57.525-05:002012-03-04T23:45:57.525-05:00Marcia, give me a couple of days and I'll emai...Marcia, give me a couple of days and I'll email you a bunch of pics from MoMA, OK?Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-86958281286756270002012-03-04T23:45:03.966-05:002012-03-04T23:45:03.966-05:00Mr. E, you got to see Matisse, too!

I appreciate that she was telling stories, but to borrow your phrase, it's not my cup of tea! I was surprised by the size of the Persistence of Memory and also that there weren't like ropes and chains around Starry Night! I guess I always pictured it being guarded like the Mona Lisa since it's one of the most famous paintings in the world. I really felt a pang of jealousy here, seeing you all by artwork that someday I hope to see in person!Katie Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056783451407075827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-61272004775862473632012-03-04T20:53:03.543-05:002012-03-04T20:53:03.543-05:00Thanks for the little tour!

It is interesting to see these pieces photographed with people to give a better idea of their size and impact, rather than in a text book or neatly cropped online. I hope I can go one day!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659049026365545639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650247255320056704.post-59478341374605986472012-03-04T20:11:41.457-05:002012-03-04T20:11:41.457-05:00Awesome work tour guides!
