I was still able to view beautiful abstract works of art from one wonderful artist. Mercedes Matter was very into portraying abstract art in various ways. We saw how she painted items at age 15 and also later in her life. In many of her paintings she used colors shapes, and fruits. We were asked by our guide to locate some of the fruits she painted such as, apples pears, and avocados. After we got to her midlife paintings we noticed how she was very into paintings that had triangles in them. We noticed them everywhere on her paintings and how they helped balance and “support” her art. I was told by the tour guide that these paintings do not all belong to Baruch College. As a matter of fact many owners of these paintings allow Baruch’s Art Gallery to have them, for many different reasons. Baruch though uses them for education purposes. I must say that for my last required workshop, it was quite interesting and i definitely recommend every classmate of mine to check out the art gallery here at Baruch College
