Behind the Scenes


It was interesting to watch the installation of a piece of art in one of the galleries at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.



                                                                           “There is no must in art because art is free
                                                                      Wassily Kandinsky

  2. Gonna need a couple of big nails. What fun, though! The Mpls Inst. of Arts is a great place!

    The picture to be hung looks a big fuzzy, though. The painter must have had the wrong setting? ;-))

  4. A lot of work goes into that process and knowing how often they move things around, it goes on all the time.

    To answer your question about the mission, I think the one side had been recently cleaned and painted and the other side was waiting for treatment. I'm glad I caught it in between instead of with scaffolding all around it.

  5. Interesting shot! Each man, including the portrait, seems to be in his own world. I really like the composition.

  7. Fantastic, Kate. This one looks like a Chuck Close. Do you know anything about him? If not, google him. You will discover some amazing things. He has a condition that prevents him from recognizing faces, even though he specializes in painting faces, and he is severely paralyzed.
