The second stop on the mini art crawl was MIA. This museum is free to the public and a delight to visit. I feel recharged by beauty. Three new favorites were found in the Japanese galleries. A painting of three women floating down a river, and two adorable colored owl woodcuts. Wonderful. Our next stops are another gallery in St. Paul and then dinner at the Kurdish restaurant. I am hungry already, so I am soothing the inner fires with a glass of sparkling wine at Blackdog. Our next update may be much later tonight. -Mary D.
Or tomorrow, if we're honest with ourselves! Mary D don't forget to have me give you the photo with the info about Ikeda Shoen. The MIA was lovely as always and I don't have much more to add. We went there specifically to see the Jason Fulford exhibit which had a great sense of humor about it (if you were in a good mood) but if you know the MIA you know it's large enough that there's plenty else to browse and revisit or be surprised by the new things. The Tlingit house screen was a wonderful find this time, and the works by Chris Willcox based on photos of the Scott and Shackleford expeditions to Antarctica. Mary D actually saw some woodcuts she liked and then of course there's the cherry-blossom viewing piece by Shoen. Oh so much to see and talk about. But now it's time to dash to the next locale.
Oh and the Black Dog is as welcoming as always. Piano player just started but we're no longer as flexible on time. -- Mary R.
