Sidney Mishkin: Mercedes Matter 12/1/09

Since there were no more Personal Enrichment worlshops left, I went to another Art exhibit at Sidney Mishkin on Tuesday, December 1st.  It was overall a pretty decent exhibit on the painter, Mercedes Matter. They showed her work from her early ages as a child all the way to her older years. It was cool to see how the artist changed and not change in artistic style through her life. Many of her pieces were impressionism/modernism, and all had an abstract feeling to them. None of them exactly protrayed life objects, but rather gave an ‘impression’ of it. Many of Matter’s paintings were still lifes and it was great to see still lifes in an abstract perspective. Overall, I thought the gallery was nice, and even a little bit better than the Nature of Landscape one in the beginning of the semester.
