Museums: MoMA (Part 2 of 2)

Continuing our recent visit to MoMA.  

MoMA's collection is so expansive and diverse that it is easy to miss interesting works of art during a single visit.  Crowds and sensory overload can lead to "museum blindness".  So, successive visits invariably reveal something not before seen. 

Below are photos of two paintings spied on our most recent visit.  The first painting is ironic.  It is a painting of an eye that we did not "see" on earlier visits. 

Magritte's The False Mirror.  Or should it be called:  I've got my eye on you!W
