The World's Gone Mad

Trench coat from Banana Republic's impending Mad Men-inspired line

Abelardo Morell

I ran across some Abelardo Morell works the other day, and I can't stop looking. Here are some of my favorite images from his Museums series:

The Philadelphia Museum of Art East Entrance in Gallery #171 with a DeChirico Painting, 2005

Early Sunday Morning By Hopper - Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 2007

Two Paintings by Zacarias Gonzalez Velasquez, Lazaro Galdiano Museum, Madrid, Spain, 2009

More M P

I'm dying to see this, but for the moment this is satisfactory.

Our feet just where they had to go
