In the afternoon Heinrich went to the
Neue Pinakoteck (the new museum). Germany being Germany the new
portion of the museum was actually built in the mid 1800s. It has
some nice paintings and sculptures from some very famous artists.
Heinrich found a painting by Van Gogh. He really liked the color
combinations in the painting.
Some of the paintings were by
impressionists. In these paintings up close it just looks like a mess
of little color smears.
When you back up all the smears come
together to make a pretty nice picture.
Some of the paintings were kind of
funny. This one is called "The Art Critics" and shows what
the artist thought of art critics that commented on is paintings. Not
very flattering for the critics.
The lady in this painting sure had a
bad hair day. Not sure who paid for the painting but it may have been
someone who didn't like this woman.
This picture showed some little boys
jousting (playing like knights). It reminded Heinrich of two boys
named Thomas and Phillip.
One of the paintings was a farm scene
that had beautiful light patterns. It was so nice that Heinrich
actually bought a small copy of the painting to keep at his own
house.

How appropriate that the knights were blue and green as well ;) And I see that on a daily basis ;)
ReplyDeleteThose look so pretty. The painting of the lady does look like she was having a bad hair day, but that painting looks amazing, it looks like a photograph.
