Completed

I finished my task to see all the shows that are ending soon, before I leave this morning for my trip. Yesterday I saw the Edward Hopper show at the MFA. His paintings are beautiful, however, I have not seen that much of his work besides some of his most famous pieces such as Nighthawks. I had never seen his etchings and was intrigued by his understanding of light which is evident as well in his paintings. One etching in particular A Corner 1919, an image of a street corner with strong sense of light in the small print. I was really attracted to the warm light in the painting Sun in an Empty Room 1963 which was towards the end of the show. . Something I try to translate into my color photographs a strong sense of light and color. The show Jewelry by Artists: The Daphne Farago Collection was a striking show of such different types of jewelry. The last show I viewed was a Contemporary Outlook on German Photography. I enjoyed looking at Thomas Struth's image, Galleria dell'Academia 1 Venice. The show was a mix of German photographers I would expect to see in a show of that nature the Becher's, Ruff, and Gursky to name a few.
It was a good trip and I'm glad I saw all the shows before heading out of town. I'm looking forward to some more vacation before teaching starts. As well as some time to photograph and work on more reading.
