Storied Strings: The Guitar In American Art Exhibit at VMFA | Vlog

Storied Strings: The Guitar In American Art - vmfa.museum/
I got a chance to visit the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond recently, to see the Storied Strings exhibit. According to the museum:
"Storied Strings: The Guitar in American Art is the first exhibition to explore the instrument’s symbolism in American art from the early 19th century to the present day. Featuring 125 works of art, as well as 35 musical instruments, the exhibition demonstrates that guitars figure prominently in the visual stories Americans tell themselves about themselves-their histories, identities, and aspirations. The guitar-portable, affordable, and ubiquitous-appears in American art more than any other instrument, and this exhibition explores those depictions as well as the human ambitions, intentions, and connections facilitated by the instrument-a powerful tool and elastic emblem. "

I love museums, humans don’t last long but their stories can last forever.

[@Ryan-Hall]

TY RJ! Art is Seen, Felt, Inhaled, Voiced, Heard even Taste , and Then Through Our Minds, It's Appreciated!! This is Why , even if it isn't on our list of The Great Things or we may not Understand the Artist Intent? We take the time to Take in as much Art, in All Our Senses and In Culture as well. Enjoy your time off and Thanks for Sharing, my brother.

[@toneydavis9802]

What a treat! I will be asking my local museum to bring this exposition here.

[@sjperry54]

I was kind of surprised to see Eldon Shamblin’s Strat there. I missed the chance to see it when it was at Rumble Seat.

[@marktaft6467]

thanks for sharing this R.J. , very cool exhibit 👍 Cheers ✌️

[@christopherclarke5254]

Thanks for putting this up! I've a friend in VA who plays keys & guitar. Think she would like to visit. I know I would!!

[@gtrjay55]

Thanks RJ. I really enjoyed this. Safe trip home and all the best for the New Year.🙏😷🎵🎶☕❗👀🌠

[@audiophileman7047]

Happy New Year, RJ. I love this kind of museum. For guitar fans, museums like this are a must see. 🎸🎸🎸

[@mikecarreca7864]

Great subject and location today. I am from Virginia, on the ocean front. I try to make enough time to watch your channel, but I don't always get the opportunity. I stated at Capitol in LA, in 1966. So I am old now but I have a studio at home so I can just play. Great coverage of the museum.

[@pimpdaddy7327]

I enjoyed that R.J. Thank you very much Brother 🎸🇺🇸

[@tyhubb]

That's really cool! Gonna keep my eyes open for anything like this out my way! Cheers RJ!

[@cooghoublaga7555]

Happy New Year to you too ! nice change to see this kind of museum, thank you.

[@이태원-u5r]

Happy new year! Hope you and your family had some quality time! Hope everybody doin good. Thank you for the beautiful video.

[@davidpepper442]

Happy new year RJ! That looks like a beautiful exhibition. I was in Nashville a couple of weeks ago and we went to the National Museum of African American Music. It was phenomenal. If you haven't been you should definitely go as soon as you can.

[@ivanwildboy]

Beautiful content, mate! Thanks a lot

[@Smart-Alex]

I’d think you’d get some sort of a strike for showing works of art, like you would for music? I hope not, looks like a cool exhibit

[@p.g.pg38]

3:03 Hi! Could someone give me the name of the artist who painted this painting?

[@thbenton4]

Howdy, That is a painting by Robert Gwathmey, called Girl with Guitar, dating to 1965.
