For this project i went to an art musuem in NYC called MoMa. I absoulutely loved it. I had never been there before and when i went it was sooo many people like the line to get into the musuem for free was like 3 blocks! I had a wonderful experience and i saw so many beautiful art creations.
1. Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?
The two artworks that made an impact or impression on me was the work of art titled "untitled(four etchings) its four paintings two with black paper and black ink and the other two with white paper and black ink. It was basically sending a message on how it feels to be black. I thought the work of art was very relatable if you look closely at the words he writes something like" I feel most colored when im thrown against a white backround". To me the artist was saying he feels the most like an outcast when hes sourrounded by people who are not like him. I think whether your black white or whatever we can all relate to this painting in a way because im sure we all felt out of our element at some point. Another work of art that made an impact on me was the work of art titled "The weeping woman". What first drew my attention to this painting was the way the artist made her head there was like stuff bulging out and she looked really disoriented and like her mind was going crazy. Thats how i feel sometimes. The picture related to how crazy my emotions can get someimes.Both of these art works impacted me to embrace who i am. The first one embraced me to admit when i feel out of place and the second one impacted me to live in my emotions. That if you feel crazy and like you just cant take it anymore its ok to scream and go wild.
2. Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?
The artworks that i felt the most connected with was the art titled "Vacation Getaway, from the series House Beautiful: Bringing The War Home. I felt most connected with this picture because it symbolized an invasion of privacy. I look at my bedroom as a vacation spot. Its nice its comfortable its safe and its me. When my younger brother or my mother barges into my room i feel like that privacy breaks and its no longer my "vacation gateway". Another photograph i felt connected with was the one titled " Buzz and Nan at the after hours NYC". I'm not sure what this photography meant to the person who took it, but my perception was it looked like an old creepy man trying to talk to a girl half his age at the club and she looked nowhere near interested. I definitely related to this photograph because i have been in a situation like this one plenty of times so this photo really caught my attention.
3. Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?
The artwork that i would like to know more about is the art titled "Untitled, From the series: Painter, Paint for me". In the photo its what appears to be a nice, well dressed, looking man, relaxing on a worn out couch in the middle of a sidewalk. This picture seemed cool to me i liked the way he was just chilling on the couch and the pose he did for the picture. It was really proper. I would like to know more about this picture because i feel like theres a story behind why hes out in the middle of the street sitting on this couch.
