New Day Cafe: Things Recently Seen at the Met [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-11-06  

Welcome to the New Day Cafe! This is an open thread.

Here are some terrible photos of some wonderful things seen at the Met last week.

The Manet/Degas exhibit was so hectic that I didn’t really try to take photographs. There was a virtual queue to regulate the crowd. You can see more about it here: www.metmuseum.org/…

Here are a couple I took to show a friend how frequently Degas used shades of brown and gold with pops of green in his paintings of the period.

An explainer:

One of Degas’ paintings of the races.

Fortunately I have the catalog for this show, because my crooked ass photos wouldn’t cut it.

Here are a couple photos and explainers I took at the Early Buddhist Art in India show. You can read and see more here: www.metmuseum.org/…

I’ve been reading through the catalog for this show since I got back. It’s so interesting!

This is an open thread. Please share what’s on your mind this morning.
