My quest for Culture

Another great day in GTO.  Getting ready to head out soon and thought I should get some culture thrown into the mix.  A day at the Diego Rivera museum proved interesting.  The most interesting part of it had nothing to do with Diego.  The Black and White piece shown?  Photo or painting?  Well I guess yo would have to guess painting because it looks so much like a photo.  Fine.  It's a paining.  Juan Carlos Manjarrez is the artist and he is amazing.  The painting is about 8 feet by 8 feet.  He is a master of tones and shades.  Mostly all black and white.



The other is equally interesting.  I found this display I will call the "wall of nameless frames", not in the Diego Rivera or any other famous galleries or museums in GTO.  You have to go down Benito Juarez about half a mile from the Theater.  Turn  into a small doorway and go into the closed courtyard.  It is elegantly displayed on the wall there.  Right above the trash cans.  Oh, you can also pick up some quick, "comida chino" on the way to the piece.  These frames or drilled into the wall, high above the floor in the lone Chinese Eatery.  My kind of art.  The art of nothing.
