Welcome to Litsy!

This one has been on my shelf for a while after someone posted about it on Substack. Excited to finally get to it ☺️

I loved this book primarily because I love Marina Abramovic. It tells the true story of Marina‘s art, so singular & intriguing, focusing on her time sitting at MOMA for months staring into people‘s eyes & the long lines of people waiting for the opportunity to sit before her. It covers a wide range of her events. I appreciated hearing about her parents. Through it all there is the fictional story being told of several attendees of the MOMA event.

And this board is complete! 😃

This one was harder for me today!

What a funny and fabulous little book!

This book is filled with art featuring dogs alongside a short blurb offering commentary on the piece. The commentary was hilarious. I laughed out loud so many times.

Additionally, I loved the random fun facts that were incorporated into the blurbs. For example, I learned that the Olympics used to have art competitions.

Yesterday my son & I enjoyed another #makingmemories day in NYC.The cold,damp,& rain did not deter us! We took a 6:10 a.m. Amtrak train to the Metro North line which let us out at Grand Central Station.Breakfast for me was 2 mini bacon quiches & Starbucks coffee. Perfect start to my day! The MET exhibit was truly breathtaking. I love how the drawings, etchings, & oil paintings took us through Friedrich‘s artistic & spiritual life chronologically.

Last but one from the #wpnf25 longlist. (Half of Tracker to go)

This started off well, but became quite repetitive. I also don‘t feel that the author achieved what she set out to do. At the start she said that newly discovered papers have refuted the negative review of Gauguin, but didn‘t really demonstrate that to me.

I didn‘t know much about him prior to this - other than that I understood that he was a colonialist who liked young girls. ⬇️

I‘ve posted some hard things recently so I thought I‘d throw this photo on Litsy: my 2 year old granddaughter who is definitely in my personal museum of modern love.
