MoMA

        I decided to take a trip to The Museum of Modern Art, since well... we get in for free, and also because the MoMA has always been one of my favorite museums because of its variety of work including photography, film, architecture, paintings, and sculpture. Since I only had so little time before class I decided to quickly glance upon some of the contemporary artwork- which consists of work from the 1960‘s-present. I came across some of Andy Warhols work, and how he focuses on repetition. Much of his work consisting of repetition was inspired because of his “desire to be a machine

<--...as you can see from his “Campbell's Soup Cans” art piece.

& then again, in his "AIDS" wallpaper piece...-->

            

Modern Stairway in the Museum

              After checking out some other work i moved on to the Matisse Exhibit. Henri Matisse was a french artist who used various types of mediums to create artwork such as painting, sculpture, and printmaking. Matisse was known for his cubism artwork which was composed of mainly flat geometric shapes, and focused on space and form. I love the colors he uses in his paintings, and how they were not always in harmony with the natural color of the subject.

Here is one of my favorite works of art by Matisse. It is called “La Desserte” and it was copied from Russian painter, Jan Davidz’s original painting. 

(Here you can see how he uses Geometric shapes to formulate the composition).
