Note to self: Go back to MOMA before June 5

Headed over to the MOMA for about 30 minutes today, since today is free first Tuesday, and Stellah wanted to take another look at some paintings by Marilyn Minter she had seen earlier.

I've been seeing the posters for the Robert Bechtle retrospective around town for months, but had never been that impressed with his work. However, in the brief walk-through we took of part of that exhibit, I was reminded that posters and books -- no matter how good the reproduction -- simply cannot do justice to truly great paintings.

I have a newfound respect for Bechtle's work, and I definitely need to go back and see the entire exhibit before it closes June 5.

I'm putting the first Tuesday of each month on my calendar right now.
