BAMPFA: Art

I barely read any of the labels or didactic text. Once I came to grips with the architecture of the new museum, I started to pay attention to the work.

Cerebral, analytic, mathematical, geometrical. In a nearby room I was stunned to find two pieces by Luca Cambiaso, a late 16th Century Genoese painter I came to know about when Texas acquired the Suida-Manning Collection. The pieces here are drawings, ink on paper, bare bones geometry lacking the full breath of Cambiaso works such as Esther And Ahasuerus, an study of silks, velvet and flesh in a theme on humility, tenderness and grace.
