Another gorgeous day, so it’s off to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), an art museum located in Midtown

 Manhattan. It has been important in developing and collecting modernist art, and is often identified as the most influential museum of modern art in the world. Saw some more favourites….Kandinsky and Gaugin but some new artists I hadn’t seen before impressed….Frantisek Kupka, Jose Orozco, Robert Delauney, Andre Derain, Lee Bontecou and Walead Beshty…..a lovely morning of strolling through the floors. Loved the garden sculptures and vibe as well.

Lunched over the road at Mozzarella and Vino….a fig, basil and buffalo mozzarella salad followed by vanilla panna cotta and berries….YUMMMM!! Patrons at tables either side of me were salivating, ha ha!

Had to visit the ‘designer’ Dylan’s candy store on E 3rd Ave….such a colourful array of different sweeties …..wasn’t tempted to buy at all after that lunch.

Next ‘The Frick’, which houses the collection of industrialist Henry Clay Frick. Its one of the pre-eminent small art museums in the US, with a high-quality collection of old master paintings and fine furniture housed in six galleries within the former residence, still arranged according to Frick’s design.

The collection features some of the best-known paintings by major European artists, as well as numerous works of sculpture and porcelain. It also has 18th century French furniture, Limoges enamel, and Oriental rugs. Included in the collection are Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s masterpiece, The Progress of Love, three paintings by Johannes Vermeer including Mistress and Maid, and Piero della Francesca’s St. John the Evangelist.

Totally museum’d out today, but it’s great to feel steeped in so much beautiful art!
