Local tourism: Stanford Art Museum
I had a little extra time to kill before I had to do some work at the Stanford campus, so I took a walk through Stanford's art museum.
Summary: the price is right (free!) but it's not world class. There are a few pretty pieces, but most of the European pieces (with the exception of the Rodin collection) are by C-list artists or are lesser works by A & B-list painters.
Dutch nobleman in a red scarf
Genre painting of travelers to America - I loved the beautiful light
Genre painting of Breton girls, by Bouchereau
Miniature sculpture of a dancer by Degas
Tiny painting by Georgia O'Keefe
Picture by the surrealist Man Ray
Woodcut of an oak tree - I loved the strong graphics
Mobile - not sure whether it's by Calder or just Calderesque
Thiebaud - I'm a sucker for the cakes!
This picture reminded me of SEM imagery artworks
