Here I am, back again. I'm in Pittsburgh now and today I visited the Carnegie Museum of Art. I wanted to see the Maya Lin exhibit, but in the end I obviously visited all the Art Museum, and it was definitely great. What a space! So many things, different each other, but not for this creating confusion. There is plenty of space for all the art guested by the Museum. You can see the best examples of art of any age, from the African one, until the Minimalism. All well organized in clean rooms, big, large, wide... with the pieces dialoguing from age to age. It's a pleasure for the eyes and for the mind. I've never seen such a mass of art all put together. Gorgeous museum with pieces from both Europe and America, all deserving a place there. High quality, for real!
It's about figurative art, decorative art, furniture and design... al the possible imaginable all put together according to a smart contrast of the opposite that can even add value to each single piece. You don't have to study to visit this museum: culture is all around you.
The piece above is a great murales by Sol Lewitt. According to his view, he decided the rules to follow, and the others painted that.
The main courtyard.
The Grand Stairs, with a worderful decoration celebrating Pittsburgh industries.
