Art Culture

I went to NYC. In February. It was not warm. In fact, it was very cold.
And i was there for a school seminar, so we didn't do much tourism.
But we did do one thing that everyone alive should do:
Go to MoMA
(Museum of Modern Art).
When this was posed as a possible place to visit, i was less than excited (out of ignorance).
Who goes to New York to see a museum?
But this museum was unlike any other museum.
From the Architecture of the building with high ceilings and strategically placed cut out windows to the yogurt lids nailed on the wall, to the paintings, photographs, statues, and films, the entire experience was an expose´ of modern "art."
An exhibit of everything about life.
Art intrigues me. I want to be artsy, however:
I cannot do it, and half the time i do not understand it. (why is a red line down a white canvas a breakthrough in art?)
But here's what i can do: appreciate it.
And so, this post is simply an "art appreciation" post.
Check out the pictures and bask in the brush strokes of life on the canvas.

This was one of my favorites


I could have stared at this for an hour.


Monet's Water Lillies. Ridiculous.


Picaso. He is weird.


Salvador Dali


Frida Kahlo

There was much more that i really enjoyed: Pollock, Chagall, Frank Lloyd Wright, and others.
The 3 hours we spent there were not enough.
I would have loved an entire day to just stand in awe at a social representation of life through material form.
