Pittsburgh, PA 6/5/14
We visited some of what Andrew Carnegie called his "wise extravagances":
The Carnegie Museum of Art -
Portraits of Andrew Carnegie by Andy Warhol.
From Haegue Yang's Series of Vulnerable Arrangements, 2009
Cathy Wilkes' Caretakers
Jim's Anne, 2014
A detail from John White Alexander's mural The Crowning of Labor, 1905-1908.
A detail from Martin Schongauer's woodcut The Flight into Egypt, c 1470-1475.
A detail from Albrecht Durer's engraving The Coat of Arms with a Skull, 1503.
A detail from Lucas Cranach the Elder's woodcut The Rest on the Flight into Egypt, 1509.
Two details from an engraving of the 1500s illustrating iustitia (justice): "The aim of law is either through punishment to correct him who is punished, or to improve others by his example, or to protect society by overcoming the evil."
A detail from Durer's engraving The Sea Monster, c 1498.
A detail from Durer's engraving The Prodigal Son Amid the Swine, c 1496.
Matthaus Zasinger's engraving Aristotle and Phyllis, c 1500. In addition to an S&M extravaganza, the engraving is a warning against the power of women and love, and a satire on the wise man reduced to ridicule.
William Blake's Faith, Hope, and Charity, 1799.
The Carnegie Museum of Natural History -
Anne's Jim, 2014

Sometimes you can communicate better with simple hand gestures rather than lots of words, ya know?
I personally enjoyed the symmetry of the illuminated globe and the reflection from Jim's dome in "Anne's Jim, 2014"...beautiful
Thank you. --A.
