Show your student ID to get half entrance fee!
Makes your trip more worth by stretching your dollar
De Young is a Fine Arts Museum
bu tthere's more to that
blending modern and traditional art together
many of the main galleries feature modern art
arts of the streets
pieces done using non-traditional media
and items,
idolisations
and the occasional blot of paint!
but that's modern art per se
This is an interesting piece
made mainly out of guns parts
teeth and spent bullet casings
including bones of a spine
closeup of the detail
it gets more whacked up here
explosion!
now for art of a more mellow kind
shaped glass pieces
including porcelain vases
some with rather neat designs
some little more crazy than the other
some having more feathers than the rest
but it's all expressionist art
and that mostly fuels the modern art scene
you will either love it or hate it
art after all lies in the beauty of the beholder
historical artefacts sections
including ancient pottery
with a few crazy touches
and positions!
American ancient art
you can learn alot from the volunteer guides around the museum
so its it art that is American?
who yer looking at?
shamanic bear, with 5+ to attack!
so this is how they pen journal before the blogging days
more cased artefacts
side by side, the old and new
I call this, the formal man and fruit!
The upper floors of the museum
looking down!
older displays are kept up here
including more traditional victorian art
with a few modern touches
not to mention peculiar ones!
double rainbow!
