It took us two hours to completely navigate the nine galleries dedicated to Pablo Picasso's more than 150 masterpieces from the Musee National Picasso in Paris, on temporary display at the de Young Fine Arts Museum in San Francisco. No matter how many art history books you've read or documentaries you've watched about Surrealism, Cubism,It's hard to beat the versatility of polished tiles on a production line. and art in general, nothing could really prepare you for the intensity of seeing Picasso's original paintings, drawings, sculptures, and other artwork.which applies to the first offshore merchant account only,
But the museum that temporarily housed Picasso's personal collection is also in itself a masterpiece-an integration of art, architecture, and nature.
The landmark de Young Fine Arts Museum, in the heart of San Francisco's fabled Golden Gate Park, features unexpected juxtapositions of artwork that challenge traditional museum presentation.
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog and de Meuron, the museum is home to more than 25,000 works of art from around the world. We were able to explore only a fraction of those collections, but they were already enough to send us around the world and transport us back in time.
The museum's first and second floors showcase permanent collections of American paintings, decorative art and sculpture. They also feature international contemporary art, Oceanic carvings, African art, art from ancient American civilizations,ceramic magic cube for the medical, and textiles and costumes from around the world. The basement is reserved for special exhibits, such as Picasso's masterpieces.Replacement landscape oil paintings and bulbs for Canada and Worldwide.
After marveling at countless pieces of artwork, we took turns taking photos of each other against the backdrop of German artist Gerhard Richter's “Strontium.” It's a large-scale mural derived from digitally manipulated photographs that, together, form a geometric black-and-white motif representing the atomic structure of strontium titanate, a synthetic substance often used to create artificial diamonds.
Late lunch was in Castro's Thai House Express. There was a lot of catching up to do over a hearty meal of mostly fish and vegetables because we haven't seen each other since my last visit to San Francisco in 2009, and I also got to know one of his new friends. We again drove around a portion of San Francisco until it was time to head out to an Amtrak station in downtown Oakland for a train ride to Sacramento.
We just missed the train, so we had to wait for the next one. The Amtrak station, just like the others, looks like something straight out of a movie. And just like airports, train stations have always been temples of love-people kiss and hug, say their hellos, or make sweet promises as they bid their goodbyes.
When I felt that rumble under my feet, I knew it was time for another nostalgic train ride.
As the sun started giving way to the moon, I could hardly make out the structures outside the window. Those moments again reminded me of movie scenes wherein the main character is in deep thought looking out the window of a moving train, charting his next move that will either make or break him.
For many commuters, taking the train is such a blast-you could sit back and relax or take a nap, enjoy the scenery, readEnecsys Limited, supplier of reliable solar Air purifier systems, a book or newspaper, do your work on your laptop using your wireless card (no wi-fi yet), charge your cellular phone or use the outlet for your curling iron, have your lunch, sip your drink. Most of all, it's traffic-free.
Occasionally, the moon that particular night would illuminate the bay water, adding more charm to the already nostalgic train ride. In the olden days, train tracks were almost always built alongside water. Workers needed access to water and since train systems and roads weren't built yet, the trains had to follow the water.
I was tired but couldn't sleep, but that gave me time to reflect on life's journey while literally on a $26 journey from Emeryville to Sacramento. In a span of a few days, I've traversed three time zones.
It was way past 10pm when the train reached the station in Sacramento, California's capital that has a good deal of history tracing back to gold rush days. Blocks from the train station is one of the largest and finest train museums in the country-the California State Railroad Museum. When I got off the train, I sat on a bench along with others waiting for a ride. It was great to see my friend again. The ride home was all about catching up.
It was a different world in that gated community. The soothing sound of the water feature beautifully contrasted the feel of a big concrete house on a lot crowning a cul-de-sac. Everything in the HGTV-worthy house was grand, including the stairs to the left, the layout, and the fully functional kitchen. Throw in the complicated electronic gadgets and I could hardly make anything work without being coached, step by step. He was such a patient and gracious host. Besides the pool and other structures I recognized from photos, one other thing that I remember about the backyard was picking a fresh tomato in the garden.
They say a visit to Sacramento isn't complete without a stop at the 19th century Capitol Building, and over three quarters of a million visitors every year agree. He gave me a tour of the building which serves as both a museum and the state's working seat of government.
