Last Sunday afternoon, we had reservations for a visit to the new Crystal Bridges art museum
near our home.
The setting, in the Ozark town of Bentonville, AR is wonderful! The architecture and environment work together so beautifully!
The galleries flow from one century to another, covering American Art History. There is plenty of room to see each painting at your leisure.
This whimsical work by Maxfield Parrish is currently on display....
A contemporary "winged victory" in essence, this beautiful molded glass draped dress is life-size and beautifully captures the lights nearby. It was one of my favorite pieces!
My least favorite was probably this pile of molten metal....
Mary Cassatt and other American Impressionists are well represented. Here is Cassatt's
"Woman Reading".
One wing had a temporary show of very current 21st century art and here I am in front of one thing which I loved..... this yellow "lace" piece made from disassembled silk flowers which were stitched together...I love the shadows it casts too!
You can see from my smile that I was delighted to be there. Thank- you Alice Walton!
