A gallery and slide show of some of my favorite photos from our memorable visit to the
Museum of Modern Art in New York just over a week ago to see the Matisse Cut-outs.
Can you predict the song?
Stay tuned for our visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a day or two.
Auguste Rodin’s Eternal Spring is the perfect image on Valentine’s Day for lovers everywhere.
From a photograph I took during our visit to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art
last Sunday, together with the Museum’s description.
“The human body is, above all, the mirror of the soul, and from the soul comes its greatest beauty.”
Auguste Rodin, from Rodin on Art, Horizon Press, 1971

No day shall erase you from the memory of time…Virgil
This quote from Virgil, which I posted on thechangingpalette three days ago, is displayed in the hall of the 9/11 Memorial Museum. It seems appropriate to post it once again to accompany today’s images.
Back in the studio after a whirlwind visit to New York. Over the next few days I’ll post some of the memorable images but in the meantime here is one of my favourites, yesterday afternoon’s Central Park jogger. Like the Red Cyclist it was one of those lucky moments. The scale of the solitary figure against the trees and buildings I think justifies its inclusion in this week’s photo challenge.

So moved by our visit to the 9/11 Memorial Museum today.
New York, New York
Can there be anything more dramatic than the scale of the Manhattan skyline glistening and glimmmering in the early morning sun, as captured with my iPhone through our taxi window on the ride from JFK this morning after our red-eye flight from Vancouver. I know it’s not the greatest of photos but I feel it captures the beauty and majesty of this magnificent city waking to a new day.
Yes, for those of you who follow thechangingpalette, we made it to New York this week after our trip was cancelled a week ago because of the weather, and spent a glorious morning at the Matisse Cut-out’s exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, an exhibition that is all about scale and color and harmony, just as New York itself is, and about which more to come.
So much for our visit to New York today and the Matisse exhibition tomorrow, which we had to cancel with Winter Storm Juno blanketing the East Coast tonight. Instead here’s my expression of New York with a collage I created after a visit in 1993, a visit which was also for a Matisse exhibition.

Wishing those of you in the gold nugget city warmer days to come soon.
