2016:03-03 & 04: Israel Museum, Yad Veshem, etc.

The last few photos from the trip to the Israel Museum, others taken at the amazing concert of the Meta4 string quartet that Arie & I saw later on (Jan was busy beforehand & got in on the last bit as I recall) at the Jerusalem YMCA in their wonderful concert hall, and the first photos from Jan & my trip to Yad Veshem, the Jerusalem Holocaust museum. It was her first trip there, too. The chronologically-organized main exhibition started very closed, crowded, & dark with artifacts from the beginning of the Nazi period, and ended with the view you can see in the final photo.

Edgardo Sambo Salome. Oddly this artist & painting
isn't in their list of works (prolly because it's on extended loan).
Nor is the artist even in the Italian Wikipdeia.

Olafur Eliasson Whenever the Rainbow Appears

I'm guessing Henry Moore? Outdoor sculpture

Downstairs at the YMCA (go ahead, keep singing)

Inside concert hall at the YMCA (ear worm yet?)

Night shot of the David Gate to Old Town if memory serves.

Some of Jan & Arie's neighbors in Bet Zait

On the way from the tram to Yav Veshev.

Snap dragons, ditto

2016-03-03: Israel Museum day 10

I know, I know. Well we're almost finished with this visit. Today the first batch taken at those few 15th-19th century rooms.

Rubens The Death of Adonis (with Venus, Cupid, and the 
Three Graces)

Monnoyer Can't find this in the IM website.

Wouter Mertens. Not a lot about him on the Eng. language web

Soloman Soloman, so great they named him twice.

Rembrandt.  St. Peter in Prison

2016-03-03: Israel Museum day 9

 19th century Asian ceramics, 20th century American.

The last few photos from the 20th century galleries before I began to head out to meet up with Jan & Arie at David Yellin College & be introduced to their students there. Not to worry, there are still some photos from their 15th-19th century European galleries. Not their strength number-wise, though: those four centuries were contained in about as many rooms.

Dan Flavin. American minimalist artist

One of my faves, Agnes Martin. Didn't like to be called a
Minimalist. Her work is always so peaceful.

Thought this was way earlier, but it's from the 19th century.
Can't find the image on the IM website for a clearer description.

The performance hall.
