I was finally able to see Van Gogh's "Up Close" exhibit. It ends tomorrow, so if you miss it, start crying now. The show is sold out completely, but i was lucky someone "cancelled" their order. It was meant to be! It is a very beautiful exhibition. All the paintings show cased left me breathe less. Seeing all the details and brushstroke  this close up is truly rare and magical. VanGogh has alway been my favorite artist. He saw the world as his own, and did not care or felt the need to give an explanation for how he painted. His purpose was to make people understand his vision. If he could see now how the world loves him,what would he say?

 “I…am always obliged to go and gaze at a blade of grass, a pine-tree branch, an ear of wheat, to calm myself.”Van Gogh wrote his sister in 1889

Roberto Capucci is a true genius and innovator in fashion. Capucci uses shapes and fabric to construct a dress full of color and imaginary wonder. If you are in the Philadelphia are, visit this awesome once in a lifetime exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This exhibit will run through June 5, 2011. You know i will be getting my tickets soon ..oxox







"For Capucci, the act of creation is a complete sensory experience; he has described it as an assault—of art, beauty, color, emotion, music, nature, poetry. For the viewer the experience is magical and unforgettable".

Pablo Picasso has taking over the Philadelphia Art Museum. There is an awesome exhibition of his work until April 25, 2010. Can't wait to see it.

Internationally recognized as one of the most innovative and influential artists of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973) was at his most ferociously inventive between 1905 and 1945. Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris surveys his work during these crucial decades, when he transformed the history of art through his innate virtuosity and protean creativity. The exhibition follows the trajectory of Picasso’s career from his early experiments with abstraction to his pioneering role in the development of Cubism, as well as his dialogue with Surrealism and other important art movements in the ensuing decades. The exhibition will also explore the important role that the city of Paris played in the history of modern art during the first half of the twentieth century, when artists from around the world followed Picasso’s example and moved to the French capital. It will include works by expatriate artists like Marc Chagall, Jacques Lipchitz, Patrick Henry Bruce, and Man Ray, who collectively formed a vibrant, international avant-garde group known, for posterity, as the School of Paris.
