Art and Chocolate

 St. Louis. MO


Kemper Art Museum

Today we went to the Kemper Art Museum in St. Louis on the Washington University campus here in St. Louis, MO. It's another free museum here in St. Louis and it's a good one.  It isn't huge but that is a good thing in our opinion.  They have a great collection of art from various art movements and have a few pieces by big names.  



Illumination - Ai Weiwei.  Made of Legos!

Sleeping Effort - Jackson Pollock

New York Rhapsody - Grace Hartigan

Vertical Form - Barbara Hepworth

Primo - Anne Truitt

Maton - Katharina Sieverding.  This is a photograph shown next to a mirror.

When the piece says to open the drawers you oblige!


They had a great African Modernism in America exhibit.  There were some really cool paintings in this collction.

Three Faces - Skunder Boghossian

Olumo Rock - Afi Ekong

Untitled - Yusef Grillo

Oba Akenzua II - Ben Enwonwu

Image #6 - Ibrahim El-Salahi

Vision of the Tomb - Ibrahim El-Salahi

Ana Mmuo (Land of the Dead) - Uche Okeke

Yoruba Forms #5 - David C. Driskell

This giant ball swung back and forth at times.  I am not sure how they got it started.

La Tour Marine (Tower of the Sea) - Yves Tanguy

Diamond Cove, Isles of Shoals - Childe Hassam

After our museum visit we went back to the Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Factory that we toured a couple of weeks ago to buy some more damaged goods.   They had a new selection of flavors so we bought a few bags.  We hit the road Saturday and need road snacks!

More discounted chocolate!

That was it for today.  If you missed yesterday's post, Walking From Illinois to Missouri and Back on Route 66, check it out.  We only have a few days left in St. Louis.  We are looking forward to the upcoming road trip and the stay in Cincinnati.
