Seurat at MoMA


One of the things I really love about the Museum of Modern Art in midtown Manhattan is the fact that people still get dressed up to go there. Patrons ease through the loft-like space past masterpieces and also past not so masterful pieces, in an old New York manner alike to classic Woody Allen films. Make your way there before January 7th to catch the Georges Seurat: The Drawings Exhibit. The top floor of MoMA has its’ walls covered in the conté sketches of the French Neo-Impressionist. The pieces are beautiful, ghost-like, portraits of a diverse 19th Century French society. I suggest following the exhibit with a late lunch at The Modern, the chic restaurant at MoMA.
