Wednesday: Joint Weekday and Westchester Sketchers at MoMA

 

MUSEUM OF MODERN ART

Joint event hosted by Cathy Gutterman and Marianne Milzoff

Founded in 1929, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was the first museum devoted to the modern era.  The museum's rich collection offers a panoramic view of modern and contemporary art from innovative European paintings and sculptures of the 1880s to today's film, design and performance art.

Collection highlights include Claude Monet's Waterlilies, Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night and Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.  Currently on Exhibition is Georgia O'Keefe: To See Take Time.  Best known for her flower paintings, O’Keeffe (1887-1986) also made extraordinary series of works in charcoal, pencil, watercolor, and pastel. Reuniting works on paper that are often seen individually, along with key paintings, this exhibition offers a rare glimpse of the artist’s working methods and invites us to take time to look.  To find out more about MoMA and the current exhibitions, click here: https://www.moma.org.
