Jewish Art

Go and experience the beauty that the Jewish Museum is.

This past Saturday Ian and I went and saw the "Chagall and the Artists of Russian Jewish Theater, 1919 - 1949" as it was wonderfully suggested by the lovely Jacquie.

I'm not great at describing museum experiences, much less work and perhaps that's why Art History was never on my list of well-liked classes, but this museum took my breath away. Ian loves them and can't never stop talking when in one about the work. I'm the complete opposite... i like to just walk around and enjoy the work for myself. Well for the first time ever, Ian didn't say more than 5 words and that's because it was a new experience for him. What you find there isn't often found in your 19th or 20th century history books at Pratt.

I thoroughly enjoyed the drawing styles of the costume designs of the Russian Jewish Theatre. I could see most of those pieces beautifully displayed on my walls if I had them as source of inspiration.

Check Jacquie's blog, she goes into details about what you can find there.

Next weekend's museum trip?
Perhaps the Cooper Hewitt... i have yet to go
