A few weeks ago, I visited the Guggenheim museum. The Guggenheim mostly has modern art inside of it but there are paintings and sculptures that have a more classic style. Thanks to Baruch I was able to get a discount for my ticket inside. I arrived at the museum right before a lot of the modern art exhibits closed so I only got to check a few of them out. I got to see a lot of paintings that were not apart of the exhibits that were closing early and they were really nice. They reminded me of Renaissance style art and they looked very old fashioned. I don’t remember the dates that were on all of them but a lot of the paintings I saw were from the 1800’s. Not all of the paintings that I saw were Renaissance style, however. There was also art from the 19th century that tried to emulate Picasso with its abstract nature and some even looked like they were trying to look like Salvador Dali paintings. There were also some nice black and white photographs that looked like someone’s art studio. The sculptures I saw were a little odd. The ones I saw were wooden sculptures. These ones did not make a lot of sense to me because I could not see the meaning in them no matter how hard I tried. They were very well made and I definitely would not be able to make something like that but they did not make sense to me. The paintings were a lot more intuitive because I was able to feel what the artist wanted me to feel just by looking at it. Overall, I enjoyed my somewhat short visit to the Guggenheim. I wasn’t able to see much because of the time that I went but I would be willing to go again at a better time.
