It was time for a faculty lunch but I want to make sure that the camera was warm, so I took a picture of my coffee table
and of the paintings on my way
before capturing Cathi Allison, our newest employee,
and hosting lunch for Devah Pager (Sociology), William Jordan (History), Tom Palfrey (Economics and Politics), Richard Register (Chemical Engineering), Barbara White (Music), Virginia Kwan (Psychology), and Saeed Travazoie (Molecular Biology and LSIIG)
On Thursday, Fred Dryer (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering)
Francois Rigolot (French and Italian)
and Joel Cooper (Psychology) came to visit.
It was a snowy Friday when I headed to New York for the Sloan committee meeting. We spread our work out
and then I got a picture of Hector pointing to the winners
and we got pictures of Hector, me and Jeanette Wing
before Hector took pictures of Erica Stella with me and Jeanette
and I went off to check out the hotel room that had a bed with no spare space
a center space to use your laptop
a long hallway
and a bathroom
which I left to take the subway downtown and find Suzanne on the opposite corner.
after taking the obligatory pictures of shoe stores
we walked past Devashan
and headed to Amuse
where we going to have dinner that started with drinks
and focaccia
followed by appetizers
and then Suzanne's fish
and my pasta
which set us up for the walk uptown. We knew we were at Lord and Taylor when we saw the lights on the building
and the Xmas tree
but we really admired the windows done for the holidays in nursery tale themes starting with the princess and the pea
and then Rumplestiltskin
and Goldilocks and the Three Bears
and Jack and the Beanstalk
before the Arabian nights
and Cinderella
made us aware of the time
at Nat Sherman's cigar store
as we made our way north to the facade at Saks
and the Saks windows
that were not as good. Next stop was Rockefeller center where we saw the tree
and Suzanne posed
before we passed the tree
and the skaters
and decided to stop in this folk art store
before calling it a night.
On Saturday, we woke up and saw the Carnegie Deli in the distance,
we entered
and Suzanne was amused
by our neighbors who were taking pictures
as our drinks arrived
and then I explored the menu
to find this omelet (with cholesterol free fries)
and bagel
which I dressed
as Suzanne's lox arrived
and as we departed, I took a blurry
and then a clear picture of these ads for the play Jewtopia
which set us in a good frame of mind to visit MoMA
where we first encountered this large picture by Miro
and these 2
before seeing the sculpture of the family that was a bit eerie
|
and heading into the gallery where we saw a lot
and then saw posters describing things
before admiring this person's facial parts
and the array of lights that made interesting art
that can be described only in blurry terms.
Next we saw Rothko
and some creativity
before heading tot eh art of design where we saw these pieces
and then looked out at the street below
before admiring the subway sign
the smart car
and the train station board
all of which prepared us for the next gallery
|
before we entered the exhibit on the art of safety
and admired the signs telling us to turn off tv and computers
and beware of tsunamis.
Finally we went to the gallery of the museum's permanent collection
|
before catching the view below
en route to this picture
and then the view
some Rothkos
and more modern art
this painting of the states by Pollack
and this green texture
before we listened to an art historian tell us why Pollock
painted this picture of the flag
and after seeing a few final paintings
we decided to call it a day and catch the train back to Princeton.
