Picturing New York: The Art of Yvonne Jacquette and Rudy Burckhardt

The Tuesday before break I went along with my LCD class to both the Met and the Museum of the City of New York, having never been to the latter. At the Museum of the City of New York we saw two exhibits, that were placed just across the hall from each other- two exhibitions presented as a dual experience – the paintings of Yvonne Jacquette and the photographs by Rudy Burckhardt, a married couple that share more than an abundance of silent letters in their surnames. Both of their shows, in their respective media, display some statement of New York City. I thought both of these exhibits were very relevant to the course and interesting to look at. My final project for LCD is actually supposed to be based on these shows as well.links to:photographspaintings
