After first stopping off at Corti Brothers market few weeks ago I was able to visit the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento California. I was able to see some art works up close and in person instead of in a book and online. Here are a few highlights of my visit.
Besides a few of Wayne Thiebaud’s pastry and landscape paintings there was this one that caught my attention.
I have always liked Robert Arneson’s humorous sculptures.
The Masquerade by William Baziotes
Everything is Something 5 by Emilio Villalba. I love the impasto quality and colors of this large oil on canvas painting.
Although I’m not fond of much figurative sculpture I do find Manuel Neri’s work fascinating because of the materials he used and textures and distortions.
Finally I got to see a Richard Diebenkorn painting in person.
Untitled galvanized steel wire piece by Ruth Asawa.
Cambria, A Peaceful California Village by Franz Bischoff
I thought this was a nice piece because we have been to Cambria many times and I would be going there again during this trip to the Central Coast.
