Today we visited the virtual “Blue” exhibition at Nassau County Museum of Art. I really like Cao Jun’s paintings. His blue painting is very abstract. The whole work is dizzy with different blues. I think the painting looks like a sea, and the white part is like a spray. The dark blue part seems to be in the deep ocean, it looks mysterious. The light blue part on the right makes me want to enter there. There is a special attraction.
This work is from Cooper Hewitt on Fifth Avenue.
The name of the first work is A Masque of Flowers. It was written by Walter Crane. It is dated 1902. This book mainly tells the story of the goddess Flora awakening all the flowers in the garden. When I saw this page, I liked the color contrast between the two pages. On the left is a warm color, on the right is a cool color. On the left, I think two lively men are enjoying the parade. On the right are two noble women enjoying the baptism of flowers. In addition, their details are great. The green on the men’s clothes on the left is complementary to the red of the flowers. The women’s clothes on the right have blue flowers and green vines of the same color.
This brooch is made by Tiffany. It was produced around 1889–1890, it is the Gift of Isabel Shults. When I first saw this brooch, I was attracted to it. It is the shape of a purple flower. What surprises me most is that there is a diamond in the middle. The brooch expresses a mysterious atmosphere in purple. Each petal has a golden edging. The purple color of the brooch is the color of the Milky Way. I think this brooch should be used as a reference for jewelry design for those who specialize in jewelry design. Which girl doesn’t like such a charming brooch?
