Another Museum Visit

Recently I visited the Neue Museum www.neuegalerie.org located on Fifth Avenue and 86th. Street.  The reason for my visit was to view the work of Gustav Klimt whose 150th. anniversary is being celebrated.  The museum had paintings on view from their own collection along with some from other sources as well as drawings and personal photographs.  His work is very well known, very decorative and he is known for his paintings of women.  However there were several landscapes included that I had not seen before which I liked very much.  You can view them on the website.


I have always been interested in painting people as opposed to landscapes or still lifes. Above are two examples of my efforts.
