Sleng Teng posted:I'm pretty drat jealous. What were your favorite pieces? Lol this gloomy waterfall piece that had a real dank creepy vibe that I loved  and the illustrations of any of the "fighting big monster centipede/dragon/fish" tales obviously had me pogging as a souls/monhun head (and i love the creativity of the little spirals inside of each fish scale. sooo much imaginative mark making)  I got super pumped at seeing the feet on this guy rendered as just starbursts?? (Will be stealing that for sure.) But also just floored at how much dimensionality was in the woodcut prints, how many things like little crests of waves or scales on fish had been subtly pressed into the paper.  And then for works inspired by: This optical illusion-y fake wooden dresser (it's nearly flat) just with all kinds of epic inlays blew me away  This multi-layered stained glass carp I thought was just immaculate  and lastly, this trippy rear end motherfuckin "Chemical Waterfall" had me stoked. Lol got fully body chills a couple times in the exhibition and tactically took some time to sit and draw various things to cool down

The MFA is expensive but it’s a great museum, probably at least as big as the Met. I’ve been to all the NYC museums a million times but I still like to go when I’m there

Last time I was in New York I went to the Met and they had a bunch of paintings from the old Dutch masters on display, my favorite was "Merrymaking at Shrovetide" by Frans Hals They couldn't get away with explicit scenes back then so it's littered with sausages as stand-in dicks, dude was horny as hell. 17th century deer guy

HolePisser1982 posted:it's so loving good dude. art ftw This. Recently went to the Salvador Dali museum and it was loving mind blowing. His early surreallist stuff is clearly really good, but his late in life 'nuclear mysticism' works are on a completely different level from anything I've seen.  Like, it's impressive enough looking at it on a computer, but what you don't realize until you get there is that all his 'nuclear mysticism' stuff is like two stories tall, they're absoutely huge and loving impeccable down to the last detail.

HolePisser1982 posted:Lol this gloomy waterfall piece that had a real dank creepy vibe that I loved so sick, goddamn. been curious. For the woodcuts do they have like, period prints that have been preserved from that time, or do they reuse the blocks to print new ones? I was reading some article about a new kind of blue that didn't fade like older ones, that Hokusai got a hold of and inspired his views of mount Fuji and it got me wondering how well old prints hold up compared to e.g. oil on canvas

Arch Nemesis posted:so sick, goddamn. IIRC from the 2015 exhibition I went to they had original period prints from Hokusai's lifetime as well as ones printed later. They had the full 36 Views of Mt. Fuji on exhibition which was fully sick. I'd like to see the new exhibit but I dunno if I'll be able to make it to Boston before it ends

Arch Nemesis posted:so sick, goddamn. These seemed to be immaculately preserved original-ish prints, tho I don't know enough about the print runs of the time. and yeah there were some cases where ie- an unstable purple dye on a robe had dulled down to nearly grey, but generally any bit of aging on the surface just gave it character. That indigo blue dye was some primo fuckin poo poo tho, it still feels super lush when you see it in person. Like almost dripping down from the heavens in the "Red Fuji" print:
