Two pieces I love at the SF MOMA
Spent the afternoon there yesterday; what a great thing to do with a day. My two favorite new-to-me paintings:First, an Olivetti poster by Givanni Pintori. I am SO going to do something like this with numbers in the colors I see. In fact, my mind is churning on that right now. One of the fun things here is that although there are different numbers with the same color (which doesn't map to my experience), the ranges happen to coincide with my number/color sets; for example, you'll see a bunch of 2-4s in green, and 3 is green for me. Maybe that was why it was so fun.Second, a painting by Leslie Shows called "Two Ways to Organize." Now I want to see everything she's ever painted. Not only is her name a complete sentence (!) which actually describes what she does (!) but we were born the same year. Note that this piece is pretty large in person; 82"x82".
