Our Museum Date: Was it a Good Idea?

8/14/2022

Yes, it was a good idea! Asenath and I visited the Barnes Foundation Museum in Philadelphia on Saturday. Walking around looking at artwork for about 2 hours made us both hungry, lol. The museum has a collection of the world’s most important impressionist, post-impressionist, and modern paintings, including works by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso. Displayed alongside them are African masks, native American jewelry, Greek antiquities, and decorative metalwork.

​Around 1:30 pm we had lunch at the Barnes Foundation’s Garden Restaurant. Asenath ordered the HOUSE MADE FALAFEL and I had the SEARED SALMON, no drinks. Our lunch totaled $56+tip. Here are photos of our delicious meals...

After lunch we went to check out the current exhibition of Isaac Julien: Once Again . . . (Statues Never Die), an immersive film installation exploring the relationship between Dr. Albert C. Barnes and famed philosopher and cultural critic Alain Locke.

Here is a video clip of the exhibition...

Siddhartha. “Siddhartha: An Indian Poem is a 1922 novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's 9th novel, was written in German, in a simple, lyrical style."

Staying Creative During This Difficult Time

This pandemic has taken a toll on me creatively. I think creativity itself, can help us build and get through this, but it is very difficult. It's difficult not knowing the impact this situation is having on my family and friends. I think for some of us, this is a moment to reassess who and what is important, catch up on home projects and spend time with loved ones. I'm trying to maintain a healthy mindset during this time, exercise, eat healthy, limit social media and catch up on some art projects to name a few.
​

Does social distance mean isolation? Just sharing my thoughts and I'd love to hear yours...
