| Black-and white: snow-covered trees and bushes at NMA (March 16, 2018) |
With the last winter weekend approaching,
Reno got about a foot of wet snow. This snow has a tendency to stick on roof tops and trees. Occasionally a load of white stuff is slipping off and joins the white carpet on the ground. A great day to take pictures of
snow sculptures like the one above at the
Nevada Museum of Art (
NMA). The
exterior wall of the museum—composed of black, zinc-based material—gives the perfect background to contrast snow-white structures in front.
Getting curious what to see at the interior walls?
If you like
snow art, you will find paintings of ice and snow landscapes inside the museum.
Hans Meyer-Kassel (1872-1952)—with an impressive selection of his art
currently exhibited—not only captured the snowy landscapes of
northwestern Nevada, but also
floating ice in the Arctic Ocean and glacial sceneries of remote
Spitzbergen, Norway.
