Now and days if you want to experience a new culture you just have to book a flight on Expedia or take a virtual tour on Google Maps. Back in the day, however, you had to risk never seeing your family again, catching some incurable disease, or getting captured by pirates.

I love this painting because it showcases otherwise heroic characters in a very nonheroic way. We are usually used to seeing knights in noble poses or perhaps even in battle. How trite, right? What really interests me is discovering how they spent the time in between; like did they have to run to the cobbler to pick up their battle boots?
This mid-century painting of knights would be great in a study or library.

Visting the Vatican, a city-state surrounded by Rome, is not for those with weak necks or claustrophobia. After reserving your place in line, you'll be shuffled into the Sistine Chapel like cattle; shoulder to shoulder with tourists from all over the world, head tilted back, eyes pointed up. You'll need a glass of wine and a warm bath after that fresco fiasco.
This black and white print of the Vatican is from the mid-century.

The 1950s were a period of major transition for Japan. The US, a former enemy, was starting to become an ally. Japanese people began adopting certain aspects of American culture such as hula-hooping, rock n' roll, and baseball.

There are two things you make sure to do whenever you travel to a new city; try the local cuisine, and hit up a few antique/second hand stores. Who needs museums when you have food and vintage?
This 1983 "Spago" Los Angeles Food Festival poster is making me hungry.
18 1/2 in wide x 39 1/2 in tall

We are all very familiar with the trite depressed artist narrative. A lot of art is indeed inspired by tragedy, that's why it's so refreshing to see a painting celebrating the mundane parts of life.
