After a long day of stacking papers at my job in the Office of Testing and Evaluations at Baruch, I decided to explore the abstract ways artists define art. I went to the Museum of Modern Art in between 5th and 6th Avenue at West 53rd Street. Luckily, all tickets were free for everybody who visited the Museum on Friday, like I did.
When I entered the Museum all I could see were vivid colors, unique images, and an awesome place to take photos at. There were special exhibitions of renowned artists like Louise Bourgeois and Max Ernst on display. Their mixed media collages and sculptures were breathtaking, from the smallest of details to its actual purpose. In addition, I found paintings and drawings representing optical illusions, mood paintings, and French dialogues converted into works of art. These works of art reminded how Music relates to Art in a magnifying way. Music is the vocal expression of one’s sentimental values, while painting is the visual atonement of a person’s mental and physical emotion incurring inside their brain. The more time I spent at the museum, the more I grew fond of artists turning into art as their way of revealing a deeper meanings about themselves, a community, or an entire nation.
The museum help me encounter the inner artist within me. It was so interesting to see how just with acrylic paint, imagination, and inspiration can go a long way for an artist. This was a once in a lifetime to explore a field of drawings and paintings for a better understanding about the magic of art. Museums are a place to let your creative expression take over your mind and embody the innovate paintings that makes art the way it is today.
