The Warehouse - William Kentridge

 After our strengthening class Abby took five of us to The Warehouse Art Museum (WAM) https://www.thewarehousemke.org/ to view the current exhibition of art by William Kentridge.

It was mostly black and white, with emphasis on human rights, history and apartheid.

Here is "The Widow of Lampedusa"

and a Portrait of Emmy Hennings.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmy_Hennings

"She Wolf and Jugs" symbolizes the birth of Romulus and Remus.

This "Untitled" (Photograph of Triumphs and Laments in Rome)  brought to mind the movie "The Portrait of Dorian Gray.

Also a bronze sculpture "Shadow Figure 1"

Many other pieces filled the gallery.  

While waiting for our group to assemble, we chatted with John Shannon, who together with his wife Jan Serr founded the gallery.  Here is their unique story.
