I decided to go to the Museum of Modern Art on Columbus Day. It was pretty crowded when I went, so it was hard to take a picture. The picture I took was a piece from Jean Louis, who is one of Bourgeois’ three sons and born in 1940. Here she depicts the young boy as a skyscraper. When Bourgeois first arrived in New York City from Paris in 1938, she was awed by the buildings that she was greeted with. Later, reflecting on this sculpture, she said, “I wanted my son to be as beautiful as the skyscrapers here.” I also saw many other pieces that I liked was the Charles White – Leonardo da Vinci which was curated by David Hammons. I really liked the colors used and how you can see the details so clearly. The experience was very enjoyable as it was my firs time there. I would definitely want to go back and revisit with some friends.
