Egon Schiele’s 1913 painting of a sawmill has always been something of a mystery. The painter felt an unusual kinship with nature. Mia’s new exhibition “Timber! Art and Woodwork at the Fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire” dives into the topic. Learn more from the curator: https://bit.ly/46xlYmz

Young artists, Mia exhibit, shine uncomfortable light on racism

Inside the #Minneapolis Institute of Art (@artsmia.bsky.social). Cool building filled with awesome #art. If you're nearby, I recommend making the trip. Hours of fun, and no tickets needed, but they do accept donations.

Black and white photo taken inside a building looking at a staircase. In the foreground is the back of a person shaped statue. The staircase goes down a floor in a zig zag pattern, and up two floors in the same pattern. At the top floor is a person leaning over the railing. Below that person is a sign on a wall reading "agra culture kitchen"

Went to the #Minneapolis Institute of Art (@artsmia.bsky.social) again yesterday and spent a few hours. I could be lost in there for days, amazing stuff. Here's a Tatra that they have there that looked pretty cool.
