Mishkin Gallery

The visit to the Mishkin Gallery was really special to me, because I do some drawing myself, too. Though drawing is different from photographing, but they both are art. I was fascinated by the topic of “group”. As we all know, every single one of us belongs to a group. It may be your family, your class, your career, or your country. The photo in the gallery shown many types of group, the first one we saw is the group of FIFA world cup fans. The picture shown us their happiness and excitement of the soccer ball fans; it seems that I can feel the joy with them. The way that these fans dressed up perfectly demonstrated the theme of “group”. These fans wore the same shirts, pants, cap, and even sunglasses. Right away you can tell that they are a group. Being in a group is also an honor. I remember in one of the picture, where a company hosted a dinner party, with all the employees wearing the exact same shirt. I think this photo shown us that it’s an honor to be in a group, and be passionate about it. I was surprise to see a picture of Marilyn Monroe there, where she’s also in a group. As far as I have known, Marilyn Monroe was always an individual in pictures, with no one else in the picture to flaw her beauty. The picture was somehow funny to me. Marilyn Monroe poses like a celebrity, but other men were just like rednecks and rude cowboys. It’s such a huge contrast against Marilyn Monroe. The picture was a group of irregulars with no similarity.
In conclusion, the Mishkin gallery was really interesting; I learned a lot of things there. Being in a group is very important to us, because that’s how we learn about socialization and interaction with other. Maybe sometime you involuntarily become a member of group, but you know that you can never live alone.
