Gallery Tour- Mercedes Matter: A retrospective

This tour was that of an art gallery. The artworks that were arranged in this gallery were all painted by the artist Mercedes Matter. We were shown all different paintings and works throughout her years as an artist. The showing was  interesting, as it depicted how she painted objects without any specificity or exactness. Nothing was explicit and she often drew objects that resembled other objects. She commonly used triangles to depict things and we simply explored the ways in which she accomplished what she set out in to do in her paintings. Each painting had its own subject matter, but she seemed to have used fruit a lot. She also often used color to depict many different objects and situations. I enjoyed my art history class more than I enjoyed this exhibition. It was interesting, but not exactly my cup of tea.
