Last entry of 2014, I swear. I was actually going to post this last night but a fuse blew and it was fucking freezing and I didn't feel like it after that.
A guy with half red hair and half green hair was also drawing people on the red line. He had sunglasses, a leather jacket, a hat, pants (while there is a no-pants subway ride, it's not for a few more weeks and it requires a level of insanity I am not capable of), and platform shoes.
At the MFA, there was a guy with bright teal hair looking at an artwork and a woman with lavender hair was balancing a book on her head and posing in front of a tree trunk cross-section and glass. She herself is kind of an artist and told me that sometimes you just want to skip pages in your sketcbook. I did that but it wasn't far ahead and I filled in the pages in between on the way home.
On the way home, I sketched a couple: a guy with a hat and a woman with short blonde hair with neon orange in it.
I saw a kid with a raccoon hat and I thought to myself "I can't not draw this guy."
I once said there wasn't anything from Madagascar at the MFA. I was wrong. It's called an aloalo. It means something like "ghost gate" or "Shadowgate" and is placed on tombs of important people.
There's a few pieces of art from West Timor in Indonesia (an artificial country, of course, but that's the 20th century for you). It's an ai tos, or offering post, made by the Tetum people.
And there was some Qing dynasty erotic art. The title of the exhibit is "Court Ladies or Pin-Up Girls?" I don't think any other museum could have pulled that off. Possibly the Peabody Essex Museum. The DeCordova and the ICA would object to it, but that is due to the "18th century" part of "18th century Chinese erotica." BYU, for instance, refused to display four Rodin sculptures. Yin Qi is the artist of the most explicit of these erotic scenes. Some of them are probably just Chinese euphemisms but there's some actual acts of entering flesh depicted.
Chungonghua (春宫画) is the Chinese term for erotic art, and translates to "spring palace picture"
There's an exhibit of art from Japanese toys and board games.
Anyway, hidden in one of the galleries is a painting depicting the gallery. It's called Gallery Epiphany, which a woman said we just had.
"It's just a lump of meat." - someone, on mummification and brain disposal.
There's a 2014 retrospective survey floating around. I tried filling it out but got kind of burnt out halfway through. The cold doesn't help.
burning question: Madeleine (the bike thief) is still using Blogspot for personal rather than political posts. And also, she stole a bike. How has she not been exiled to an alternate reality?
