For my second blog post I paid a visit the Museum of Modern Art. I started wandering around the first floor, which was basically the lobby and home of the garden. I was quick to get out of there and to a less crowded level. In the beginning of my exploration, I did not automatically connect with the artwork. This had surprised me, because I had been to the Met and I was mesmerized by the cloisters and their intricate work. The first few rooms I visited all I saw was splattered paint, harsh lines and confusion. I was probably a bit judgmental and my first few thoughts were “Why is this here?”. But then I realized that Art does not always mean that it necessarily has to be the the most beautiful masterpiece. Each stroke was a way to communicate and express the feelings of an artist. I particularly liked the art that was full of blossoming color. But, I connected with the statue pictured above. In my interpretation , It seemed that the person was almost in a circle, their hands behind their body. Having the hands behind them signified a vulnerability. I thought that it meant the course of life was meant to have us take chances and learn to take risks in order to live. But, art means different things for everyone. For instance, my friend just thought it was ordinary and was trying to rush us to the fashion exhibit. I would recommend the 6th floor, which has the most diverse and peculiar work. This was a fun little adventure and I can not wait to re-vist!
