After another weekend snowstorm, we decided to head out to the Denver Art Museum. There were two major exhibits; “Jordan Casteel: Returning the Gaze” and “Stampede: Animals in Art”. Jordan is a an artist, originally from Denver, now living in Harlem with amazing pictures of life in her neighborhoods. Animals in Art is an exhibition by a variety of different artists that explore how animals are a part of human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is one of the pictures that is like a tapestry, but the media is various types of plastic. In this image, I purposely de-focused the artwork; this still shows the detail of the original. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While meandering through the exhibit, I was captivated by the shadow cast by one of the sculptures. It was pretty dark in this area of the gallery. I preferred the monochrome version of this image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were several pieces from the Pacific North-West. I could not help but make this image of part of the totem pole. I just love those lips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hamilton wing of the museum has some really interesting ceilings, walls and windows as part of the architecture. I was drawn to the subdued light that streamed in through the tall windows below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making one’s way back down to the entrance, there are more interesting architectural lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made another image of one of the skylights above the stairways. I was fortunate to include a man working his way up the stairs to the floor above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside the museum are the “Denver Monoliths”. In this image, these monumental blocks framed the building across the street (the library).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of these monoliths are separated by a narrow gap. Looking down the gap, there is one streetlight across the street that is perfectly centered between the two rock faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
