Sunday with Warhol

A couple weekends ago, my parents, sister, and I stopped by the High Museum of Art to see the Andy Warhol Prints exhibit while it was in town.  I distinctly remember this print from a t-shirt my dad wore when I was little, so I’m happy my little family went all together.  It was super-crowded, making it a little difficult to see and appreciate everything, but I’m so glad we saw it at all!

The exhibit is arranged chronologically, so it was fun to see where Warhol’s art started and follow his creative development.  As you walk through, you get a look at his experimentation with different art techniques, his entrance into pop culture art, and his more adult works (there was a dedicated room, with warning signs!).  Here’s a little peek:

While I love what Warhol did with pop culture, I had never seen his early work and I really loved it!  His sketches were my favorite part of the whole exhibit, but it’s all worth a visit.  The exhibit is at the High until September 3.

Artsy Weekend

We’ve been pretty ~!* artsy *!~ around here lately.

A couple weeks ago, on Friday night, my family went to another concert together.  We saw Lambchop at Terminal West.  It was a pretty mellow show — very intimate, which I enjoyed.

On Sunday, my sister and I took advantage of the free Second Sunday deal at the High Museum of Atlanta to see the Cross Country:  The Power of Place in American Art, 1915–1950 exhibit.  The exhibit will be leaving the museum soon (May 7th is its last day), but it’s definitely worth visiting.  The whole thing was pretty cool to see — Dorothea Lange’s iconic Migrant Mother is included!

We also stopped to take in Daniel Arsham’s Hourglass exhibit.  Even with the description of the exhibit plastered on the wall, it’s still over my head.  But it’s nifty-looking.  If you’re looking to be wowed and confused, check it out by May 21.

The day was gorgeous, so my sister and I decided to take in some neighborhood architecture.  It’s crazy to me that these houses sit right off of one of the busiest roads around town.

Oh I’d love to get my hands on this little cottage …

Since this little adventure, it’s been go-go-go around here.  I’ve been busy celebrating family birthdays, learning more and more at work (did I mention that I started a new job in January?), trying to read more, getting in the habit of meal planning on prepping on Sundays, etc.  So I apologize for the period of blog silence!
