Morning Star is by the Dene artist Alex Janvier, painted on this dome in the Museum in 1993. Done in his signature abstract style, it is a massive painting that is my favourite work of art in the National Capital Region- and I don't usually go for abstract work. Here we view it from the floor of the Grand Hall, with a much closer view available from the top floor.
One of the things I like to do is use the staircase and escalators to frame the mural and give different perspectives of it. We'll have more of Morning Star tomorrow.
It is very decorative. Love the choice of colours.
ReplyDeleteVery beauty- and colorful.
