metropolitan museum of art 2.20.2018 (part 2)

two weeks ago we visited one of the best places on earth the Metropolitan Museum of Art we had a list of exhibitions to view but, the top not to be missed was the David Hockney. 

  so after a yummy lunch at the Petrie Court Cafe we took in the retrospective of his life's work.

A Bigger Splash, 1967.

this painting was the exhibition cover image.

The Third Love Painting, 1960

Liam was taken with this work - what he thought was a robot really spoke to his 6 year old self.

Pool and Steps, Le Nid du Duc, 1971

Savings and Loan Building, 1967

A Lawn Being Sprinkled, 1967.

Medical Building, 1967

Contre-Jour in the French Style-Against the day Dans Le Style-Francais, 1974.

Nichols Canyon, 1980

The Road Across the Wolds, 1997

The Road to Thwing, 2006

the piece is made up of 6 panels. Liam really enjoyed the colors.

Elderberry Blossoms, Kilham, 2008

Hawthorne Blossom near Rudston, 2008

i circled back to this installation three times.

i could have stood there for hours watching the images morph into new - as they traced his drawing process from piece to piece.

the images were amazing... and it led my son to inquire -

" could i do that on my iPad?"

i hope you will follow the link and look at more of Mr. Hockney's works.
