UMFA

Matt and I went to the Utah Museum of Fine Arts on Saturday. They have a special exibit right now that has artist like Monet, Picasso, Dali, ect. I was really excited to see Monet and Dali but it turns out that a painting by van Gogh was my favorite. It is called The Poplars at Saint-Remy. I got half way through the exibit and had to go back and see it again. I've seen tons of van Gogh paintings on prints and in books but you can't imagine how much you miss when you don't see it in person. The texture and emotion of the paintings (there were only two from van Gogh) was just amazing. Here is a pic of the program. On the front is The Poplars at Saint-Remy.



I wish we had stuff like this around here more often.
