The Moma Museum

This was my first time visiting The Moma Museum. It was a fun experience because I never seen these types of interesting art work. I even touched one of the art pieces and got yelled at because I thought the security said I could. There were 3 pieces of art that called my attention.

  One of the art pieces that amused me was the Les Demoiselles d'Avignon by Pablo Picasso. It’s a Spanish painting from 1881- 1973. What I like about this painting is the form that the artist painted the bodies. It is very unique and the way the faces are shown. You can’t tell if it’s a female or a male because they look like they have both aspects. The light colors make the painting stand out.

  The second piece of  art that catched my attention was by Vincent Van Gogh, The Starry Night. It’s a painting done oil on canvas and this one was my favorite. I like the background of the painting it has a magical sense of feeling. The colors blue and yellow fuse together and make he painting stand out. The painting looks realistic because it has a sense of perspective. The stars and moons in the background, while in the front are big leaves and small houses.

   The third piece of art work is called One. It was done by the American Jackson Pollock, 1912-1956.  This painter did his work by lying the canvas flat on the floor. It looks as if he just grabbed the brush and started throwing the painting one on top of the other, to give it a messy look. It is an interesting painting because you can see painting stand out by the way one is over the other.

   I would like to return to the museum one day and keep looking at the rest of the art work, I didn’t get a chance to see. One day I’ll go back and take more pictures with my family members. The work is admirable and very talented.
