A Cold Saturday

Like most of the country, New York was bitterly cold today. To escape the freeze, I ventured into the warmth of a local art museum. I saw a compelling exhibition of Hyperrealism and other illusions. In the pictures below, nothing is what it appears to be.

This is not a person, but a resin sculpture of a woman

This is not a photo of Marilyn Monroe, but a painting.

Even the "tape" and "shadow" are paint.

This is not a security guard, but a resin sculpture of one

A sculpture of the female form

Salvador Dali

These are not chocolates, but a sculpture

mounted on the wall

Titled "Sky Shirt," you can see why

After a minute in the freezing cold,

I turned into a statue
