Stuttgart Art Museum & Otto Dix

Sorry for the long pause between posts. I have been busy with my new post-doc and will write about that next. For now, I just wanted to share two photos from my trip to the Otto Dix exhibit at the art museum last weekend. Honestly, I have seen more compelling exhibits. Dix's work is interesting--he focuses on the everyday realities of post-war Germany and the Weimar Republic--but the exhibit did not live up to the hype that preceded it. I'm still glad I went, though. Maybe future exhibits will be more interesting.

The art museum itself was built in 2005 as a glass cube that "floats" over Stuttgart's center square, Schlossplatz. The museum offers a great view of Schlossplatz and, depending on the weather, you can see for miles into the distance.

 And just in case you were wondering who was writing (or not writing) these blog posts ...

Yours truly in the art museum.
