Odd paintings from Trip across, Dallas, Atlanta, NY

Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art.








David Bates is a good artist. He lives in Dallas and paints along the Gulf Coast.

I think it interesting this David Bates in Dallas with Susan Rothenberg.






Kimball Art Museum.
They say this is a Michaelangelo, painted by the artist at age 13.




An amazing Mantegna.






Interesting to see a genre painting of workers in Renaissance High style.





Very Stylish eyewear. By Murillo.






A great Valazquez.





Great Goya.



Strange Gauguin looking like Van Gogh.






Also nice Delacroix. I like how the figures float like a little Frank Stella abstraction.









A very interesting Monet. (See Bazille painting below.)






I like the lines in these Mosaics.


Ammon Carter Art Museum.





This a Grant Wood.



A much earlier American painting-- looking like Picasso.





One of the best Doves, I think. Another nice one in Columbus, Ohio this reminded me of.

Hartley and Davis in New Mexico.


Dallas Art Museum.



Love the scale of this late Picasso.






A big surprise, I've never seen this Sisley very close to Vuillard, and Bonnard-- into Fairfield Porter--

The light makes a level of realism, which a number of American artists then realize.







Funny painting, see snake in corner. I think they used this painting for a Nacona Boot advertisement.





Crazy Moses Soyer. Wonderful  hand composition in the corner. He would have thought this out without photography, probably through sketches. 



High Museum. Atlanta




Cecelia Beaux.


William Stanley Haseltine.




I'd like to go  and paint this. The island of Capri. 






Bazille died before he got going but was Monet's friend and this is really a nice one, compare to the Monet above.


Another odd Monet. 






Mississippi State Art Museum.




Was the  thing I liked in the Mississippi Museum-- that made the trip worthwhile.
