Modern Rebels

LIFE imitating ART

The Milwaukee Museum of Art was in all its glory Saturday with magnificent blue skies and rolling clouds as a regatta on Lake Michigan provided the perfect backdrop of Calatrava's sculptural setting for its exhibit :

Van Gogh to Pollock:
Modern Rebels,
Masterworks from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.  

Hopefully you won't miss seeing 68 of the 19th century's biggest Modernists. The exhibit will close this Sunday, the 20th of September. Treat yourself as "this survey offers one of the most cohesive and beautiful representations of modern art, a movement of constant rebellion against the past and invention of the new."

My favorite female modernist, Frieda Kahlo, was being discussed by a docent and her group of littles.



AND... there's plenty of eye candy for the older visitor to experience too...

Henri Matisse- La Musique, 1939

Alberto Giacometti's Man Walking

So, rush on over if you're nearby/ planning on being in the  Milwaukee area this week, you definitely don't want to miss seeing these 70 modernist works all in one exhibit.
