After the "Apollo's Muse" exhibit, we went over to some other galleries, and in this one there is the beginning of an exhibit called "Epic Abstraction: Pollock to Herrera." One of the first paintings was this one by Jackson Pollock called "Autumn Rhythm, 1950." I am hooked on the paintings of Jackson Pollock and love spending time with them. While studying this one, a woman walked in front of it, turned around, facing away from the painting and proceeded to take a selfie of herself with the painting in the background. Wow... I guess that if you don't have a selfie, then you didn't see the painting! To each their own, I guess.
I have never taken a selfie of myself in front or an art exhibit of any kind. I prefer to see the art and not my own image. Seems strange to me - oh well...betsey
