A Regular Bauhaus-Fest
Sheffield Admin Wednesday, December 23, 2009 at 5:38AM If you saw my previous post on the Bauhaus exhibit at MOMA (or if you scroll down to it now) you'll see that MOMA has this terrific extravaganza of all things Bauhaus---paintings, sculpture, furniture, weaving, hands-on-workshops. Everything but a beer garden.
Not only that, but right uptown, at the Guggenheim Museum, there is a huge Kandinsky exhibit, showing the artist's work from his early, more representational paintings through his heyday as one of the Bauhaus instructors, and right on through his fascination with bimorphic imagery.
("Improvisation" by Vassily Kandinsky)
This exhibit is so exhilarating you have to be careful at the top not to fall over the edge with art-induced dizziness. It really completes the picture started at the MOMA exhibit---or the MOMA exhibit completes this picture.
Whichever, kudos to the Guggenheim and MOMA for holding these exhibits simultaneously. This is why I live in New York (and why you live here, or why you are going to come visit before the shows go---MOMA on January 25, Kandinsky on January 13).

great painting. I don't now what the painting is about but I found a half moon there LOL. I now it is nd of abstract painting so all the description about the painting should completely belong to the viewer right.
