High tailing it
Just got back from a trip to the High Museum of Art. The headline event there right now is a DaVinci exhibit featuring his works depicting angels, soldiers, and grizzled old men. And also this giant bronze recreation of his incomplete Sforza Horse:
You can see snow on the ground around it. The giant bronze would have been a wonder to all of DaVinci’s contemporaries, and the white stuff is shocking to the Atlantans who’re hosting it.
Other highlights included:
Fred Wilson’s Mori Chandelier - no one in the whole of the Internet has been able to do this one justice in photos.
Joel Sternfeld’s “Exhausted Renegade Elephant” (click to view large size)
Also, a large exhibit on the work of architect John Portman. I was indifferent to his exteriors, but I loved his paintings and sculpture. Unfortunately, they’re also poorly represented on the Internet.
And last, for all of my Brahma-drinking buddies, Vic Muniz’s Kyber Pass [sic], made in part with real cans of Brazil’s classic asado accompaniment.
