SFMOMA - What Caught My Fancy Today

Well, yesterday, really. More of my favorites from the permanent collection.

Victor Brauner, (Romanian, 1903-1966), Fascination, 1939, oil on canvas. I've passed this one many times, but today, it really struck a nerve. I like it. It's just freaky scary. Amazing content and savagery in this work.

Kees van Dongen, La chemise noire, 1905-1906, oil on canvas with wood.

Henri Matisse, Femme au chapeau, 1905, oil on canvas. Besides Matta, this painting always thrills me. That expression is priceless.
