Rubin Museum Visit

by malisa.basic

As soon as I was near the Rubin Museum, I could tell that I was close.  The building it is located in had many cultural forms of art, mostly Himalayan, that were shown to the public outside through their windows.  As I entered, I had the same feeling.  The warm colors and atmosphere felt as if I was located where the pieces of art were located.  I enjoyed to see how a specific form of art was created, and the variety of art different artists used during this time in these Asian countries.  However, what I ha noticed was that many of the pieces shown were much alike, ornate in design and had many colors.  The color that stood out from the rest was an interesting tone of red.  This red seems as if even over hundreds of years, it is still bright as it was when it was made.  The main focus on many of the pieces was religion that many of these countries shared.  There were images I saw of significant religious figures that these people believed in.  In conclusion, there were many things I found interesting, but what had intrigued me the most were the colors chosen as well as the detail put into some of these images.
