David Holding His Tickets

Between Kubrick, Caravaggio, the German Expressionists and the Surrealists, my head is going to explode (in a good way.) Do. Not. Miss. The. Kubrick. Exhibit. It exceeded the Tim Burton exhibit by far. You really get a feel for Kubrick and how he processed and developed his work.We're already talking about going back. We were in the Kubrick exhibit for almost three and a half hours. The Surrealist exhibit is another one you could get lost in for hours. The Drawing Surrealism book is now on my wish list. We picked up the Kubrick catalog tonight. Another book for the bursting book shelves. If you're a Kubrick or film nut, also check out The Academy's exhibit on Kubrick. It's free and is open every day except Monday. I'll leave you with some of my favorite photos from the exhibit. I'm off to process everything and put my feet up!  David has two posts of interest on Kubrick:  Visual Motifs  2001: A Space Odyssey and A.I.
