pinakothek

The Neue Pinakothek in Munich had a sunflower painting and I noticed the same thing.

I was struck because the Pinakothek is the first I've been to that makes a three-way-split - the Alte Pinakothek for pre-19th century stuff, the Neue Pinakothek for, I don't know the terminology, but the time in the middle, and then the really contemporary works in the Pinakothek der Moderne.

And I absolutely loved the Neue Pinakothek - loads of really beautiful paintings, with a variety of styles but almost all of them being the kind of representational/skilled work the article's talking about (or your link).

And then I walked across the road to the Pinakothek der Moderne, looking forward to a real treat, and I was just really struck by how bad it all seemed, how much worse every painting was than any of the ones I'd just been looking at.

Pinakothek der Moderne is a lot of post-moderism, which is...

I went to the Pinakothek der Moderne a few months ago and was really struck that, whereas in most "modern art" galleries I can find paintings I like, in one that restricts itself to post-1920 there was really nothing thought-provoking, nothing beautiful, nothing that even seemed like an expression of skill.
