I spent yesterday afternoon at the beautiful Renoir Exhibition at the Frick Collection. It was a small, but exquisite collection of nine Renoir paintings, from around the world. I wish all of you could have been with me. Both the exhibition and the permanent collection were extraordinary. New Yorkers, there is one more week to see the Renoirs. If anyone is thinking of visiting New York, the Frick is definitely worth a visit.
This was once the home of Henry Clay Frick. The art, furniture and decorative pieces and the building are a great visit.
I'm off for some blog buddy fun. Hope you are all having a sweet Sunday!
Sounds like a REALLY fun day! What a sweet way to spend this day, blog buddy fun:) Have a blessed day, HUGS!

What a delightful afternoon you had, surrounded by such beauteous artwork. Renoir is one of my favorites. Interesting history of Henry Clay Frick. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteNow, I don't know "beans" about fine art, but have always appreciated Renoir. For some reason, his works leave me feeling peaceful.
