Two weeks ago i visited the Modern Musuem of Art located in the city. I absolutely loved my visit to the musuem. Guys if you are looking for somewhere to take that special girl on a date for FREE take them to the MOMA . It is free with your cuny id card and on fridays it is usually free. The artworks are absolutely breathtaking and makes you think about so many things. There were a lot of famous piecese. Some done by Pablo Picaasso, Andy Warhol, Frida Kahlo Vincent Van Gogh and etc.
What amazed me the most was Tim Burton’s exhibit. The day i visited to choose an artwork to discuss I choosee an interesting self portrait done by Frida Kahlo. It is titled Fulang and I. If i was able to go into the Tim Burton exhibit the first time iI visited I probably would have done his exhibit as my project. He kind of gets the critics to be involved in his art work by the mosterous mouth at the interest. We are almost like walking into the body of a monster without realizing because inside are the echibits. In reality to us it is an entrance to vieww his exhibits. A lot if huis artwork reminded me of the movie the Nightmare before Christmas. As I walked in it seemed I was right most of the characters from that movie were dispplayed so i am guessing he created those characters. When coming out the tunnel it was a lot of his own personal drawings displayed. He seems to e a well established artist not only is his artworks being displayed in the musuem but he also has a children’s book out, and took part in the creation of the character’s in the Nightmare Before Christmas movie.
Frida Kahlo’s painting was interesting. First I was attracted to it because I watched the movie of her lifef in highschool. I understood the type of painter and eorson that Frida Kahlo was. Her self portrait was hung beside a miror which is part of the artwork. It was interesting because as looking in the mirror I saw myelf displayed in the exhibit beside Frida. It made me think of ho important i can be one day. It stated under her painting that it was givien to her friend with the mirror so that everytime her friend looks in the mirror fFrida would be there beside her.
