On the 3rd of November I went to a gallery to fulfill the arts at Baruch workshop requirement. The location of it was in the Sidney Mishkin building. I thought I was going to be late since had a group meeting for a project and I even got lost trying to find the location of the building. Even though I was thirty minutes late, there was still a long queue of students waiting to go inside. Apparently, there was a limitation to 20 students per visit. Before long it was my turn. The Paintings that were on displayed were done by Mercedes Matter. The oil paintings were abstract and colorful. Some are huge while others small. Though abstract, there is some realism in her art. Like the fact that all the fruits are visible, on one of the paintings, if you look really closely. But from far, it appears to be abstract. My favorite painting was a small portrait that she drew when she was nine years old. It was simple and pretty and I was simply attracted to it. I like some of them. The paintings she did as a professional were abstract but it was revolutionary. By the end of the tour, we were allowed to take a couple of cards with one of her painting in black and white. I sent it to a friend of mine and she told me that she really like the art.
