2015). There is an early example of this painting technique usage in the Metropolitan Museum of Art‚ where frescoes recovered from the Villa of P. Fannius Synistorat at Boscoreale‚ an area north of Pompeii‚ are exhibited. These wall paintings‚ dated somewhere between the 40–30 B.C‚ use various trompe l’oeil devices to simulate objects and architectural details which in reality aren’t there (The Metropolitan Museum of Art‚ 2004).

The artifact that I picked from Metropolitan Museum of Art is called Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara of the Lion’s Roar. It is a large wood statue of an Avalokiteshvara‚ the basic idol of Buddhism‚ completed around the 12th century in China during the Ming Dynasty. The Buddha Statue is a representation of the philosophical belief system of Buddhism. Different Buddha Statues have different meanings. Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara symbolizes "the compassion in the world and the willingness to bear the pain

My First Brush with an Art Museum Being a fairly artist person for my entire life‚ I feel like it is a little weird that I have never been to an ‘art museum’.

I have always had interest in art‚ and strived in high school where I was placed in advanced art‚ painting and drawing classes. These days‚ I have traded my pencils and

of news about Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) drew my attention. It said that this nonprofit museum suffered decreasing investment and donation since the worldwide financial crisis in 2008; indeed‚ it lost about 18% money. It is no doubt that the great power of financial crisis damages the development of nonprofit museums‚ which rely on the endowments and donations from the individuals‚ institutions‚ government‚ etc. There may be some negative expectation on the future of nonprofit museums because of the

The artwork that I chose for the museum art assignment was Footed Goblet‚ 1924‚ painted by Fernand Leger. Footed Goblet is at first glance a precisely-ordered grid of rectangles and curved shapes that lie flat against the picture plane. The painting was done on a medium of oil on canvas.
