Review // Superheroes: The Art of Alex Ross - 5 March to 15 June, 2014
Went to this exhibition on a Tuesday and was turned away because they are opened only on Wednesday thru Sunday. It was on the website but I got confused because my calendar was GMT+8 Manila not GMT+1 Paris
I skipped the scheduled afternoon tour to SACRE COUR & MONTMARTRE FUNICULAR and got dropped off near Mona Bismarck American Center for Art & Culture, paid my 7€ fee, got a free English guide and dove in.
Photography was not allowed inside the exhibition except for a big mural. The guard was actually shadowing me.
The exhibition is not huge by any means about 3 to 4 rooms but lot's of great art on display and I spent some time looking at the works and reading the guide for some additional insights on the works displayed.
I am did not go deep into comics when I was younger, so you could say I am a casual comic book fan but I do appreciate Ross' work. It's really great!
Anyway, I loved this exhibition, I especially liked his drawings / comics he made as a child.
Also spent extra few minutes on these...
Justice League
Batman
Joker
Shazam / Capt. Marvel
Aquaman
Flash
Human Torch
Lynette Ross (his mom) also had two works on display and you know where he got his talent.
