yamamanamaWhat I expected to see at the Cape Cod Museum of Art was maritime art and perhaps something by Peter Busa. He was from Provincetown, after all.
What I saw was maritime art, including a model ship; some loans from a folk art museum with mermaid and sailor paintings: Chinese-style mermaids, mermaid burlesque, mermaid with cat and a sailor reading the paper - exactly 133 years before I was born); a cubist great blue heron; a drawing in India ink inspired by atomic structures, zooplankton, cnidarian polyps, jellyfish cross-sections, sea worms' nervous systems; Sailors' valentines made from mollusk shells and cuttlebones and spirula internal shells and something undetermined that may or may not belong to a glass sponge and sea urchin tests; nude terracotta women; metal birds including a brass owl by Del Filardi; sculptures made from found art; realistic riverine and maritime paintings; a metal bull; a sculpture garden.
A painting of jetsam made someone think of Dali. I guess the colors are similar.
There was a covered piano in the Modern Landscape gallery and a woman told her kid that the piano was sleeping.
There was a boat christened Chicken Butt.
burning question: Did you have that same backwards-talking dream with flaming cards?
