Derain’s Turning Road and Benton’s Haystack After visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston for the first time‚ I observed many interesting works of art representing various time periods. Of all the paintings that I saw last week‚ two landscaped pieces seemed to stick out in my mind; Andre Derain’s The Turning Road and Thomas Hart Benton’s Haystack. Though these two art works are similar in subject matter‚ they clearly reflect the different styles and time periods of their artists; the abstract

Art is portrayed in so many different views. When looking at each piece of art and its cultural background I was interested to see more. I enjoyed each piece of art and the inspiration behind it was even more eye opening to me. There is a historical perspective behind each piece of art and we as people have not taken the time to see how art was started. I have never looked at art in such a serious way until now‚ being able to see such a wide variety of art and how each piece was created was very

The exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500. This was a series of paintings‚ sculptures‚ architecture‚ and tapestry of the Medieval and Early Renaissance as well as objects from the Middle East. This exhibit was an important part of the history of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because for the first time‚ Italian‚ Spanish‚ and Northern European paintings from the John G. Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea

the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan where we explored the Gauguin‚ Frank Lloyd Wright‚ and John Cage exhibits. I was very surprised with the amount of people that were in attendance at the museum that afternoon; I guess when one of the most famous museums in the country gives out free tickets everyone takes advantage of it. At first I just wanted go to the specific exhibits‚ but once I started looking around I staying for another hour looking at almost everything. I always thought that art was

During a recent visit to the San Antonio Museum of Art‚ I was able to view many pieces and types of artwork. This particular museum exhibits pieces that come from the period of the Ancient Egyptians all the way up to modern art. It was a very interesting experience and one that I would definitely like to repeat in the future. The piece that was most interesting to me was a Roman floor mosaic that depicts The Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs. A mosaic is a picture or pattern created by fixing together

On a recent visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art‚ I took a tour of the museum with a lecturer. During the tour‚ the leader lectured on particular paintings. She told the know history behind each shown painting. She also gave the history of the period in which the painting was painted. The lecturer also helped everyone to understand what the colors in the paintings brought to each painting. While viewing the many paintings‚ the first one that caught my eye was Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and

I have also been to many museums. One of my favorite museums that I love to go to multiply times is the Art museum in Denver‚ Colorado. I love to go there because it makes me want to do art right in the museum. I really love to go there because it kind of feels like home in a senses. There are also many art pieces that confuse me because they aren’t he style that I do so they are for sure going to be strange but at the same time they make me really think about what the piece is trying to get through

people art is very important‚ to others it is nothing. To most‚ it is nice‚ but fades besides the everyday problems of physical survival‚ housing‚ food‚ money‚ children‚ etc. The value boils down to what you think you are: a meat machine or a spiritual being. For a meat machine‚ naturally anything that is not about physical survival is very secondary. The spiritual being needs more than physical product‚ but sources for development of mind and thought. There appears to be something about art that really
