The De Young Museum in San Francisco, California






The De Young Museum is
in Golden Gate Park.







This museum has amazing and diverse collections.  I decided to share some of its sculptures and paintings.



Man Observing Series II

Viola Frey

1984





Petunias

Georgia O'Keefe

1925





In the 1920s some American painters focused on the geometric shapes and angles in their works.  When I see realistic art that focuses on buildings' shapes and details, I think of Percisionism.



From the Garden of the Chateau

Charles Demuth

1921, reworked 1925






Cat-walk, inspired by Ford's
River Rouge Plant

Charles Sheeler

1947











Him & Her Hold a Root

Lonney Holley

1994





For me this piece combines the order and chaos of life.





Two Women & a Child

Diego Rivera

1926



Blood & Meat, Survival for the World

Thornton Dial

1992




Rope, carpet, metal, canvas scraps, enamel and paint creates interconnection and the feeling of chaos.



Iris, lily & cattails stained glass window

Attributed to Lederle & Geissler

1904








Study of Architecture, Florence

John Singer Sargent

1910






I am more familiar with Sargent's portrait works.





Zig V

David Smith

1996











View Near the Village of Catskill

Thomas Cole

1827




This is a beautiful piece from the Hudson River School.  I'm happy to see art featuring my home region in New York State.



Rainy Season in the Tropics

Frederic Edwin Church

1866



The Bronco Buster

Frederick Remington

1895




Remington's sculptures represent iconic images of the American West.




Recipe for Survival

Casey Gray

Take your time examining this Still Life Painting.  It does a great job of documenting contemporary life.

San Francisco has amazing art museums.  I feel enriched by my time here at the De Young and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
