Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid!

                              
                                          I spent a few weeks in Spain, recently...





                                            ...and got to visit a lot of museums! 






                                         Some of them didn't permit photography...

                                                                    ...drat...



                    ...but some of the time I wanted nothing to come between me...












                                                  ...and all of this incredible art.




                 These photos are from the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid...










                                    ...and they're some of my colorful favorites!

The Mattress Factory (An Art Museum in Pittsburgh)- Part 2 of 2

Slightly menacing glass eyes...


                        ...'peer out' from within a massive corrugated cardboard...
      

                                                  ...and found object sculpture.



                                           If you dare, you can enter this world...



                                       ...and experience the light and shadow...



                                                  ...of this curious enclosure...



                                                        ...from the inside-out!



                                     Installed like a sitting room in a small home...



                                              ...complete with siding, windows...



                                                ...and rustic, twig porch chairs...



                     ...(just how do they make those fabric puff cushions, anyway?)...



                                            ...is a very unnerving family tableau!



                                                         Mirror-clad rooms...



                               ...complete with mannequins and giant polka dots...



                                            ...delight and confound the senses...



                 ...and blighted objects like old stereo speakers or discarded signs...

                                                   ...are elevated to 'high art'...



                                               ...with a bit of slicing and dicing...

                                                           ...and a good eye.




                                  Next time: I visit edible schoolyards in Erie, PA.
