New Britain Museum of Art

 After seeing the Walter Wick exhibition featured in yesterday's post, we walked through the rest of NBMAA.

The late conceptual artist Sol Lewitt grew up in New Britain.  The stairwell between the museum's first and second floors is named for his family.  Works by different artists fill the stairwell for a couple of years at a time.  I was delighted that the current works are by his daughter, Eva Lewitt, a fabric artist. 

A full room is devoted to paintings by Thomas Hart Benton that once graced other walls.

I'll let viewers supply their own captions for this 2016 silkscreen by Deborah Kass.

I love Porcelain Promises, a 2008 pair of photographs by Israeli artist Drew Tal.  He digitally superimposed cracks from porcelain over their faces to give them a timeliness.

Down in the lower level, the girls found an area for children to create.

The six year old likes to write but let's not worry about whether it says or means anything.
