Photograph of two concrete walls. The right wall is a much lighter grey than the left. The test wall has two rectangular recesses which form dark holes in the surface. The overall feeling is of flat abstract surfaces.

#NGV in Melbourne does Relaxed Hours at the French Impressionism exhibition, with limited numbers. Glorious decor. Get to it if you can. These paintings shine in person and no reproduction does them justice.

Pale-haired woman sits in a period-piece chair in a highly decorated circular room. There’s a couple of framed paintings and a mirror on the wall.Seven smallish seascapes by Boudin dot a slate blue wall. There’s a person wearing headphones, looking at the paintings.A glorious Renoir painting of a girl in a dress dancing with a man in a suit and straw hat. It’s set against a deep red wall lined with gold trim.The same Renoir painting sits at the end of a hall. A chandelier sits above it. The round archways of the intervening rooms are draped with curtains. The nearest room is terracotta and has a long carpet and a couple of chairs.

I really liked the Kimono exhibition but they do cultural appropriation 🥹really disappointed by the bad taste. #NGV

I’m glad people went to NGV to protest! I didn’t go, but Thank you everyone who attended to it. Free Palestine, we need to wash our hands from zionists…how? At least we need better media coverage! I’m waiting for the major media to report the strong connection between zios and NGV.

We visited the Kimono Exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria yesterday. It only took about an hour to work through, but it was beautifully presented, including both historical kimonos and modern.

I’ve included the museum information for each item in the alt text.

18th century, Edo period (1600-1868) Japan silk

The formal attire of high-ranking samurai men was known as kamishimo, consisting of a kataginu vest and hakama trousers.
Naga-bakama are long trousers that were worn for indoor audiences with daimyo (feudal lords) or the shogun (military ruler of the country). Kamishimo outfits were worn over richly coloured refined silk noshime kimono that featured a decorative waistband of kasuri ikat dyeing and weaving. Both kamishimo and noshime displayed kamon, the clan crest of the wearer.
Shown is a rare full set displaying the nanbu tsuru (double crane) family crest from the Tohoku region of northern Japan and a noshime with the Tachibana family crest originating from the Nara region.Wakanoura

Wakanoura Shrine is located on the coastline south of Osaka and is famous for its connection to poetry. This screen depicts visitors disembarking from boats wearing their most gorgeous kimono, approaching the shrine through a tori gate and ascending a set of stairs. In and around the shrine is a vibrant scene of spring festivities that includes an archery competition, people carrying portable shrines, picnickers under cherry blossom trees, a festival kirin lion dog (kirin shishi) performing, and numerous samurai parading with billowing ceremonial horo balloons - fabric devices used for protection against arrows in battle - on their backs.Hairpins, combs

Established in about 1900, Yonemoto Shoten was a stalionery and personal accessories company specialising in hairpins and kimono accessories. The company operated a store in the centre of Tokyo's exclusive shopping district Ginza. A third-generation descendant of Yonemoto Shoten's founders, Asami Wilson inherited these hairpins and combs, as well as the bridal hair adornment on display nearby, from her grandmother and mother. Asami Wilson and her mother wore these objects at their weddings and on special occasions, with Asami bringing them to Melbourne as mementos of her family's heritage when she immigrated to Australia.

Do you have a favourite painting you visit at a gallery? This is mine. Rothko untitled (Red). #art #ngv #Rothko
We visited the National Gallery of Victoria today to see the Yayoi Kusama exhibition. This was the main reason we came to Melbourne for the long weekend, and it was worth the trip! It took us about 3 hours to work through the entire exhibition, and it was fascinating.

Note: If you see this on Mastodon, you'll only see four pictures. To see all of the photos, view the original post on Pixelfed.

It's been more than 24 hours and not a single one of you have liked my photos of the Bian Lian artist I posted. I am blaming the image rendering algorithm of the fediverse. Here goes..
