The Sculpture Garden of the New Orleans Museum of Art
Oui! Je suis barriotic! And I never really understood noon ba’t kaya me mga museum, kung saan naka-display mga tigok nang tao o dili kaya mga kubyertos nung sina-unang panahon. Malay ko ba! I was busy kahig food when I was still in the barrio. I see them in books, but I was never really interested at them. It was only until I came to the United States when I started appreciating art. Barriotic?! Mahilig sa art?! Can you imagine? My first taste was actually at the Art Museum in Philadelphia. Then most of the museums around the National Mall in Washington DC. Since then, I have been to the National Museum in Bogota, Colombia; the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam; the Louvre Museum in Paris, all around Prague which is almost like a living museum, the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest and the Metropolitan Museum in New York. It’s amazing what you see and learn inside.
Today, in my beautiful Barrio of New Orleans, I will take you on a tour of the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden of the New Orleans Museum of Art. Our barrios are full of history and drama. Can they make gaya these ones I’ll be showing you? They can create their own Sculpture Garden. Come! Come to momma!

16.) By Saar, a thought-provoking memorial to victims of terror and violence. The man, while formally dressed is presented in a torturous position, yet he appears brave and resolute, preserving his personal dignity. Saar has made the figure into a bell, inspired by Japanese temple bells, which are rung in purification rites. When chain is pulled on the back, a deep mournful sound is heard. The title, Travelin Light is taken from a popular Billie Holiday song.

gusto ko yong giant pin. pahiram nga.
no doubt, pinsan mo si hugh jackman.
future generation, 1867, is a very modern sculpture.masyadong advanced ang hutak ng artist.
yung acme, di mo malaman kung tsupon o “upuan”. ilove those chromed monkeys.yung victoroius venus, ganyan ang hugis ng tipikal na arbyana. yung heroic figure, me mali sa dick nya, masyadong mataas, bwahahaha! btw, nice post, whew! buti na lang walang watermark, hahaha!
unang tingin ko dun sa Acme eh ganun nga, pacifier nang mga higante hahaha!
oo! yong mga artist, uber ang utaks hahaha kaya pala napapagkamalang mga baliw, pero ang takbo nang inventiveness at creativity will really amaze you di va?
This is similar to Rodin Museum in Paris – mga sculptures na nasa garden.
I love the large seated cardinal in bronze by Giacomo Manz. Lakas ng dating sa akin, reminds me of Jaime Cardinal Sin.
Lovely sculpture Reynz! Ganda ng mga art na ito. ^_^
Gusto ko yung stainless monkeys…ang ganda nila. At saka yung overflow.
Si Adolf Hitler nga, mantaken nyo, before naging head ng Nazi e isa pala siyang watercolor artist nung kabataan nya.
Favorite painter ko si Salvador Dali. Natutuwa ako sa mga paintings nya. Mind boggling. Paglalaruan ang imagination mo. Haha.
u’r right! i read about that part of hitler.
Sa totoo lang, I don’t appreciate visiting museums, it bores me to death. Pero siguro pagdating ng panahon at nag-mature na rin ako, maiintindihan ko na kung bakit may museum. Pero ang cute ng safety pin ha… yun lang talaga ang napansin ko. =)
hahaha, ganyan din ako, i mean, tiga-barrio ba naman ako and what do you expect, right? pero once you’re in there taz ma-experience mo, iba talaga.
one of the best na muntik ko nang makita taz iniwanan ko sina Chuva was this Human Body Parts na exhibition sa Art Museum in Philadelphia. Mga tunay na kalansay nang tao taz sinabugan nang plastic at mukhang tunay – as in natakot ako hahaha
wow, ibang level na nga ang barrio, as in culture kung culture eto!
i especially like the overflow in stainless, before i was disctracted by those matitigas na mama. ha ha
dinah,
sabi sayo an tigas tigas nga eh hahaha bato pala hahaha
Naks! Ang galing ng mga art na ito! Sana makapunta din ako sa mga places na yan.
