Petworth House, Petworth, West Sussex is set in the rolling hills of the South Downs. A late 17th century baroque country house with grounds designed by Capability Brown. It is now in the care of the National Trust and contains a considerably large collection of art.
The Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) is an art museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Its collection contains nearly 25,000 works of art. It is one of the largest museums in the United States. Beginning around 1872, multiple organizations were founded in order to bring an art gallery to Milwaukee, as the city was still a growing port town with little or no facilities to hold major art exhibitions. Over the span of at least nine years, all attempts to build a major art gallery had failed. Shortly after that year, Alexander Mitchell donated all of her collection into constructing Milwaukee's first permanent art gallery in the city's history. In 1888, the Milwaukee Art Association was created by a group of German panorama artists and local businessmen. The same year, British-born businessman Frederick Layton built, endowed, and provided artwork for the Layton Art Gallery, now demolished. In 1911, the Milwaukee Art Institute, another building constructed to hold other exhibitions and collections, was completed. The institute was built right next to the Layton Art Gallery. The Milwaukee Art Museum was founded in 1888 and is purported to be Milwaukee's first art gallery, though that claim is disputed by the Layton Art Gallery, which opened the same year. The Milwaukee Art Center (now the Milwaukee Art Museum) was formed when the Milwaukee Art Institute and Layton Art Gallery merged their collections in 1957 and moved into the newly built Eero Saarinen-designed Milwaukee County War Memorial. In the latter half of the 20th century, the museum came to include the War Memorial Center in 1957 as well as the brutalist Kahler Building (1975) designed by David Kahler and the Quadracci Pavilion (2001) created by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The Quadracci Pavilion contains a movable, wing-like brise soleil that opens up for a wingspan of 217 feet (66 m) during the day, folding over the tall, arched structure at night or during inclement weather. The pavilion received the 2004 Outstanding Structure Award from the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering. This iconic building, often referred to as "the Calatrava", is used in the museum logo. In November 2015, the museum opened a $34 million expansion funded jointly by a museum capital campaign and by Milwaukee County. The new building, the Shields Building, designed by Milwaukee architect James Shields of HGA, provides an additional 30,000 square feet for art, including a section devoted to light-based media, photography, and video installation. The building includes a new atrium and lakefront-facing entry point for visitors and was designed with cantilevered elements and concrete columns to complement, respectively, the existing Calatrava and Kahler structures on the site. The final design emerged after a lengthy process that included the main architect's departure because of design disputes and his return to the project. The museum houses nearly 25,000 works of art housed on four floors, with works from antiquity to the present. Included in the collection are 15th- to 20th-century European and 17th- to 20th-century American paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, decorative arts, photographs, and folk and self-taught art. Among the best in the collection are the museum's holding of American decorative arts, German Expressionism, folk and Haitian art, and American art after 1960. The museum holds one of the largest collections of works by Wisconsin native Georgia O'Keeffe. Other artists represented include Gustave Caillebotte, Nardo di Cione, Francisco de Zurbarán, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Winslow Homer, Auguste Rodin, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Gabriele Munter, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Frank Lloyd Wright, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Wassily Kandinsky, Mark Rothko, Robert Gober, and Andy Warhol. It also has paintings by European painters Francesco Botticini, Jan Swart van Groningen, Ferdinand Bol, Jan van Goyen, Hendrick Van Vliet, Franz von Lenbach (Bavarian Girl), Ferdinand Waldmüller (Interruption), Carl Spitzweg, Bouguereau, Gerome (2 Majesties), Gustave Caillebotte, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Kowalski (Winter in Russia), Jules Bastien-Lepage (The Wood Gatherer), and Max Pechstein.

Road trip - The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens
Our first pass through this area was quick late last month on our way home from another trip. This time we got up early and decided to spend the day here early in Feb.
A day was not enough! But we enjoyed each spot, had lunch there, and had a spectacular and tranquil day, we both want to go back!!

Schüttbild mit Malhemd, nitsch museum, MZM Mistelbach.
Hermann Nitsch über die Malhemden:
"Meine große Verehrung für Stefan George und Klimt und meine Überzeugung, dass Kunstausübung der Tätigkeit eines Priesters gleichzusetzen ist".
"Freut euch, frohlockt und jubelt, weil die Zeit erfüllt ist, dass ich mein Gewand anziehe, das mir von Anfang an bereitet ist. Ich werde mein weißes Gewand beflecken mit nassfeuchten, purpurtraubigen Blutstropfen. Ölige Fette, fruchtfleischrote Blutstropfen und blutstinkende, feuchte Schweißflecken tränken das Garn des Kleides, Schweiß- und urinnaß vom Blut durchschwitzt ist mein Winzerkleid."
"Ich beschütte, bepritze, besudle die Fläche mit Blut und wälze mich in den Farblachen."

En esta pintura oímos el inconfundible sonido de los aviones Stuka en sus bombardeos en picado, un ruido que produce terror y que es el preludio de las bombas explotando sobre los edificios de una ciudad como Guernica, arrasar las ciudades es una de las actividades preferidas de este tipo de aviación militar, nuevas armas modernas con avanzanda tecnología que se probaron por primera vez en la Guerra Civil de España, luego todas las potencias usaron estos métodos. El fuego de las casas ardiendo acompañan a las naves voladoras ofreciendo un marco escénico propio del mismo Wagner, un especial tipo de belleza que solamante causaba el horror en la sufrida población Civil. Detalles de las pinturas del artista pintor Ernest Descals pintando sobre la Legion Condor en una colección de arte que busca las posibilidades plásticas en los hechos históricos.
