TCHELITCHEW AT THE MUSEUM OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK

I was pleasantly shocked when I visited the Museum of the City of New York the other day to find Pavel Tchelitchew's Hide and Seek hanging there. The painting is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art and, despite it being rumored to be the "most popular" painting in the museum, has not been on view there in many years. It is at the MCNY as part of the exhibition Paris/New York: Design Fashion Culture 1925-1940:

The exhibition is worth seeing in any case but the opportunity to see Hide and Seek requires a visit. Since I'm blogging about Tchelitchew I might as well add a photo (below) of his Sleeping Pinheads, which is in my top ten favorite paintings by any artist. If I had the resources I'd buy Sleeping Pinheads and hang it in my living or dining room. Since I'm blogging about people with microcephaly check out the Foundation for Children With Microcephaly:
