Munich–January 28, 2017

I saw these as I walked past the Referat für Bildung und Sport (Division of Education and Sport):

My first stop was Lenbachhaus. Even the letters above the entrance are artistic:

And pictures from inside the building:

The title of this one is “I go to have one of those.”

An artist named Karin Sander mailed paintings to the museum and put them back on the wall, still in the packing material, to show the record of their passage:

This was on an otherwise blank wall:

And more pictures:

Blue Riders

A collection of paintings from the Blue Rider group, including artists such as Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky:

On the second floor is what looks like a gift shop, but is actually an art work by Hans-Peter Feldmann that has been in progress since 1975. For a moment I thought it was real until I looked at it close up.

Neue Pinakothek

Off to yet another museum.

The title of this one is “Monekys as Judges of Art” by Gabriel von Max. You think he might have had a beef with art critics?

Some more pictures, including close-ups to show brush work.

This is a portrait of Eduard, Count Von Keyserling, possibly one of the least flattering portraits I have seen.

The museum had a large display of impressionists (Manet, Monet, Degas, and Van Gogh):

I have no idea whose idea it was to put this piece of kitsch next to the Van Goghs:

OK; back to better artwork, including some by Picasso and Gustav Klimt:
