The detail on Wyeth’s painting can only be appreciated in person. I also learned that this is in Maine. I always thought it was Kansas, most likely because the woman in the painting reminds me of the Dorthea Lange photo
There was also a collection of automobiles from their permanent collection. I did not know the MOMA had a permanent collection of automobiles but it makes sense. Included was this 1960s VW Bug (it had less than 100 miles on the odometer) and this classic Airstream.
We’ve been meaning to go but just never got around to it yet. We enjoyed it so much, we signed up for an annual membership (it’s tax-deductible). What I love about the annual museum memberships is that it takes the pressure off to see everything in one go and now, whenever we’re in the neighborhood, we can pop in for a quick visit.
