NYC DU'ers - Go to MOMA! - The Cartier-Bresson exhibit is running through 28 June

[GoneOffShore]

Called "The Modern Century" it showcases some 300 of Henri Cartier-Bresson's photos from the 1930's through the 1970's (when he essentially stopped taking photos and took up drawing).
We spent over two hours in the exhibit and then bought the catalog.
A really brilliantly curated show.

1. Seen it 3x already, also don't miss, Pictures by Women: A History of Modern Photography

Every time I go see the Bresson exhibit I see something I missed and you are right the curating is impeccable

2. We saw the Pictures by Women exhibit as well.

It was extraordinary.

I'm waiting to get my catalog back of the exhibit. I loaned it to a friend and he's pouring over it.

If we lived in NYC we'd be going to MOMA weekly - well, mostly. I'd be missing Abramovic every chance I got.

3. Honestly I didn't think I would like Abromovic as much as I did.

The first part I could do without, all that soviet block performance art angst with the screeching and caterwauling and bouncing naked into pillars. However the more contemplative projects were a whole lot more interesting and Luminance was exquisite.

5. I didn't like her stuff at all. There seems, to me, to be a distinct lack of craft...

in what she does.

But I'm just a guy who actually likes artists like Cartier-Bresson, Brassai, Pyle, Wyeth, Hopper, etc.
