There's nothing like a good novel to make art of the past come alive. Dive into the fascinating world of Renaissance Venice -- the painters, the city, the colors! 🎨 #ReadingArt #ArtStories @damiandibben_
A new-to-me, Texas artist, Dorothy Hood. Wow! 🤩 So much goodness is happening in this painting. The Carter's excellent wall text tells me Hood was a "pioneering voice in American post-war abstraction." Can't wait to learn more about her
I like to appreciate not just the art, but where it's placed. So I always marvel at how beautifully the walls of the Kimbell's Kahn building speak to the art. This early Monet, its frame, and the travertine -- yes! 🙌🏼 @kimbellartmuseum
Light and the brilliance of the brain create gorgeous color combinations. What a wonderful way to experience the night sky. ✨ @keithhousefw #JamesTurrellSkySpace #FortWorthArt
Such a delight to find these beauties from @thecolorcondition on a recent walk in Downtown Dallas! 💜 #OutdoorArtDallas
Celebrating color and Josef Albers' birthday today. 🎨 "And in the end, the study of color is the study of ourselves." -Albers
A favorite question I ask on a tour — what would they feel like? Our first tour happens next month. Stay tuned for details! Image: Georgia O'Keeffe, Alligator Pears, 1923
Preparing for our first Public art tour in March. 🙌🏼 Art is at its best when we talk about it—asking questions, noticing details, and seeing what comes up together. Website coming soon. Stay tuned!
