De Young Museum Visit

Attended free day today and visited some of my favorite pieces in the museum. I also saw some new pieces I really love. I especially enjoyed this piece, however I wish that the top half was printed in darker ink like the bottom. This bottom piece has highly inspired me and may result in a future painting I want to complete.
Picture
Marisol - Diptych, 1971; Lithograph in 2 colors on Arches; paper 47 3/4 in. x 31 5/8 in.

I love Teraoka's early work and this one is especially beautiful. AIDS has claimed two lives, a mother and child.

George Wesley Bellows - Seated Nude, 1910–1911

I'm extremely fond of paintings by George Wesley Bellows. This one is particularly fantastic with its juicy brushstrokes.
