Here is the interesting thing about this painting... He exhibited it once after its creation in 1888 and, his friends were dumbstruck. The artist never mentioned the picture nor did he exhibit it again. This painting was sold from the artist's estate in 1900 and was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in the inaugural show in 1929.Ken Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968646929859916724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451587500257595163.post-20285020399552821212017-03-02T09:16:51.535-08:002017-03-02T09:16:51.535-08:00What is the name of the painting?

Some museums allow photography of items in their own collections, but do not allow photography of special exhibitions which include paintings from other sources.Ken Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968646929859916724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451587500257595163.post-58813367923022755872017-03-01T11:57:32.723-08:002017-03-01T11:57:32.723-08:00I love this because it reminds of the time when mu...I love this because it reminds of the time when museums wouldn't let you photograph paintings because they said the flash would fade the artwork. <br />But being able to see the image the person is taking by cellphone is one of my favorite formats.
