In 1969, this massive building was transformed from a hospital to a Museum of Modern Art. The Hallways are massive, and I could immediately imagine the gurneys going up and down the corridors, which all looked out onto an outdoor courtyard.
This is a watercolor I did to copy one of the modern paintings. Today we see this style all the time but back in the 1930's this was considered cutting edge art.

I love the combination of paint, paper, and lines.

And of course, the best part of soaking in art is finding art wherever you go next.
I took this photo on the rooftop of the museum, Black and White, of course.
And here is a view of the foyer to our apartment.
Check out the lighting! Is this good art or bad art? You decide.
