JOLLY DAYS

Man and Centaur

Periodically I thought I would go to different museum's websites just to see what's a doin'. Since I would travel about an hour each way on the weekends to get to the Metropolitan Museum of Art when I was growing up in New York that seemed a good place to start.

I got so involved cycling through their “daily featured work of art” that I didn't go much further today. Much like a trip to the awesome Met where you can spend hours in one gallery.

Look at this charming (and strikingly modern) Bronze man and centaur shown onsite to herald the opening of new Greek and Roman galleries. There is a graphical genius in this piece, reminiscent of much in African art.
