Jacob TenderOne of my favorite paintings displayed at #CrystalBridges is this one. "It Is Very Queer, Isn't It?" by James Henry Beard (1885).
Its a portrait of the well-known chimpanzee, Mr. Crowley, who lived at the Central Park Zoo from 1884-1888.
“Sierra Nevada Morning” by Albert Bierstadt (1870)
The scale of this painting is very impressive and deeply immersive. #CrystalBridges
This sculpture by Tara Donovan is made of shirt buttons and glue. Appearing as stalagmites erupting from the floor, this piece made me double take both times I walked by it.
The uneven manner in which the buttons are stacked gives it the appearance that it’s vibrating or out of focus—something I think translates in this perfectly still photograph.
Ronan@Tender it really does have that effect. Stops you in your tracks
@ronanmcd The attendent nearby explained that it is *very* difficult to move.
I think he probably meant that it is super heavy and not that it’s subtly shifting out of phase…
