Eugene Delacroix and another roadside oddity...

  The Eugene Delacroix exhibit was at the MIA.

Admission to the general collection is free, but special traveling exhibits are sponsored by patron ticket fees.

This was a really interesting exhibit.  I had no idea Delacroix influenced so many artists.  His use of colors and light are masterful.  His modernistic influence changed the art world.

 There was a sculpture of Eros's head...


Not too sure what to make of it...

The American Indian collection is really beautiful.

A new exhibit of Japanese woodcut prints was on display too.



Can you see the influence in modern day anime?

Wonderful colors


Yet another really nice fall weekend with mild temperatures. Winter is on it's way so not too many more days like this are left.  So the last thing I'll post is this roadside bit of Americana...

Sort of an angry cowboy. Around 15 feet high, and I'm thinking at one time there must have been something in his hands...
UPDATE on this siting! There seems to be a whole lot of giant cowboys like this one!
