I’m helping my mom move. Today I spent most of my time sorting through boxes of documents left behind by my grandma, who passed away eight years ago. At the time I wasn’t a very good granddaughter (or friend or family member in general), and had been far out of touch; Grandma was a sleuth though and tracked down these photos of me online. Surprising and bittersweet to find my pictures in her things, and to be reminded of so much history. These photos of my time at Moresca feel like a lifetime ago and in some ways it is. I’m left wondering how many more renaissances I’ll be going through.. #📖 • #nostalgia #oldphotos #thegoodandthebad #anotherlife #renaissancecostume #rennie #renfaire #moresca #nyrf #mdrf #backintheday #newyorkrenaissancefaire #wheniwasyoung #noregrets #thiscrazylife #everysquareastory #🙏

🌑 Didn’t really care for Leon Golub’s work until I stumbled upon this 1988 portrait he did of my inner self. #uncanny #imflattered • #themetbreuer #leongolub #metafterhours #expressionism #brutalism #violence #fineart #modernart #acryliconcanvas #contemporaryart #late80s #predator #mood #ig_art #artmuseum #museumgram #metropolitanmuseumofart #arthistory #museumselfie #ugly #artlovers #intensity #monochromatic #aggressiveart #moodoftheday #moodofthenight #psychopath #artcollective

Amazing perspectives with this #18thcentury wax portrait at #themetbreuer — Portrait of a Monk. Italian, 1690-1770. Wax, hair, cloth, glass and gilded plaster frame. — “Soft, organic and translucent, like skin, wax has long been used to evoke the flesh of a human being. When the Bolognese artist Angelo Piò produced his hyperrealistic portrait of an aging monk in wax, he not only rendered every wrinkle and vein in extraordinary detail but also enhanced the figure’s realism with the addition of actual hair, glass eyes, and thick brown fabric (possibly a genuine monastic robe). The incorporation of these materials brings the monk more concretely into our realm. The figure's enclosure within a deep shadow box, however, isolates him in a sphere separate from ours. The glided frame, almost certainly designed by Piò himself, further distances and elevates the waxwork, announcing its status as high art.” • #metafterhours #metlikelife #themetbreuer #museumgram #hyperrealism #artcollective #monastic #gildedframe #waxportrait #portrait #sculpture #finesculpture #fineantiques #fineart #religiousiconography #religiousart #christianart #italianart #museumexhibition #arthistory #shadowbox #waxsculpture #artmuseums #metropolitanmuseumofart #nycmuseums #instaart #ig_masterpiece #artlovers
