Visited the Nelson Atkins Museum of art to get some earrings! Oh, and see some shuttlecocks. Oh, and I guess some art!

Did my first volunteer shift at the Nelson-Atkins Museum today, working the coat check. Since this spot is one of the two last places that visitors will stop at (also the gift shop), I like to ask them what their favorite thing they saw was. The answers were awesome.

Cellphone Photo: Looking up a set of concrete stairs, with lights and a cabled railing on the right and a retaining wall on the left, towards the three glowing buildings, in overlapping succession: a museum's most recent addition. The center building of the three has a large window in the second above-grade floor's right-hand corner, and through it a lectern can be seen. Behind it is a similarly shaped building with a similar window, but the exposed room in that building is not lit internally and the shapes it holds are ill-defined. At the top of the stairs is a brick path. On the right of the stairs, streetlights illuminate a four-lane street where automobiles navigate with glowing headlights. The sky is uniform and starless.

Our museum has a wall through a window!
This was part of a Walking Wall exhibit by Andy Goldsworthy in 2019 at Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas City, Missouri

A stone wall appears to go through a window and encroaches on the walking space inside the museum. On the other side of the window, you can see the wall curves amidst green grass and trees nearly all bare of leaves. The sky is dull and overcast.

I was fortunate enough to see one of my bucket list paintings when I was working for the National Gallery in London. It was on loan to them for the Beyond Caravaggio exhibition, whereas it usually lives in Kansas City. Being an employee of the museum meant I could go view it multiple times, but

PIERRE BONNARD (1867 - 1947), “Still Life with Guelder Roses”, 1892 (retouched 1929). Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri US.
#arthistory #art #Bonnard
PIERRE BONNARD (1867 - 1947), “Still Life with Guelder Roses”, 1892 (retouched 1929). Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri US. Pierre Bonnard belonged to the French avant-garde group known as Les Nabis, although he always claimed his independence. In 1892, he painted “Still Lie with Guelder Roses” in his Nabi style, with flattened dimensions and compositions that reflected his deep appreciation for Japanese prints. In 1929, Bonnard returned to the painting and added dabs of paint to the flowers to give them more dimensionality, which spoke to his personal style of that later date. This gentle still life ended up in the collection of David David-Weill, the Jewish French-American head of the Lazard-Frères banking house. In 1943, the Nazis looted about 2,000 pieces from David-Weill’s extensive and exquisite art collection in Paris, including this work. The looted artworks were shipped to salt mines in Austria for storage to wait out the war; they were recovered there in 1945 by the Allies’ Monuments Men. The Bonnard painting was returned to David David-Weill, who had escaped from France and settled in the US, in 1946. His heirs eventually sold it to another collector, who gifted it to the Nelson Atkins Museum in 2004.

Dino mug!
There is a fossil teapot at the Nelson Atkins that this was partially inspired by though they look nothing alike 😂 the checkered teapot companion to the fossil one is probably one of my favorite pieces of all time.
