New Orleans road trip - Montgomery Museum of Fine Art continued

Aimee and I took a break at this point and went looking for coffee and something sweet but ended up with a glass of wine and a cup of spicy chicken chilli soup in the museum cafe.
We headed next to the sculpture garden that had just been completed and opened in September.

On our way we passed through a room with some huge pieces of art. This was about 10ft high. Red Fish by Leonard Koscianski.

I nearly passed this by, thinking it an interesting abstract,

but noticing details like this made me re-examine it and conclude that it was a painting of a motorcycle windshield, beautifully done. Royal Chevy by David Parrish.

We took this for driftwood at first but it is cast bronze; Isabelle by Deborah Butterfield.

Three untitled ceramic pieces by Jun Kaneko at the far end of the reflecting pool.

Hollow Sphere Theory by Randy Gachet.

Stainless steel Circular, by Casey Downing Jr, reflected the sky and the ground cover.

The garden was quiet and peaceful. Made you just want to sit and enjoy it, and the art around. While Aimee sat there the sculpture, Oval, by Craig Wedderspoon, went from silver to the colours reflected from the sky and the garden.

We swung by the glass exhibit again and then made our way to the permanent collection.

Politics by Frederick Warren Freer. You can almost hear the argument.

A Tiffany floor lamp

Voices of Silence by Jimmy Ernst.

New York Office by Edward Hopper.

Greyhounds Playing by William Hunt Diederich

Hills Before Taos by Georgia O'Keeffe

1121-1110 = 110 (Standing Donut) by Jaehyo Lee.

Celebration of the uncultivated - garden of the wild by Roger Brown.

We had watched a movie on Kudzo, a particularly invasive vine, in the art gallery in New Orleans, and seen it growing and encompassing the trees at the side of the road as we drove and here it was depicted in glass. Pitcher with Vine by Beth Lipman

We spent hours and hours in the museum and were disappointed there wasn't more.
