The last time I was at The Whitney was in December 2019. I obviously could not visit over the past 6 months so we thought it was time to see what was there. We had to make a reservation in advance and wear a mask throughout our visit.
We decided to start our visit on the top floor where we saw an exhibit called Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist. Agnes Pelton (1881-1961) was an American visionary symbolist who depicted the spiritual reality she experienced in moments of meditative stillness. Below are two of her paintings.
Another exhibit was Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art. It included works by leading Mexican Muralists José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
It was an enjoyable afternoon. I am certainly glad that museums have reopened.
