Art Gallery

Although I have never been too interested in art and never really appreciated it the way many do, I had a great time at the Sidney Mishkin Gallery. I am unsure whether it was because of the people we were with or the actual exhibit itself but either way it was very enjoyable. Being a guy, one would assume my favorite picture of the gallery would have been the “Modern Girl” by Zhang Hui. I also found it very interesting as well though. I could not understand or figure out why I every picture she was sitting at a different part of the table. I did not make much sense to me. There was actually one painting I did really appreciate however. “The Trace of Life” by Yi Xuan was a painting I am not sure how anyone could not find it interesting. It was a brown canvas where she carved out little tiny white lines throughout it. It seemed as though it must have taken her hours upon hours in order to finish a piece like that. I also remember when Vinny explained how viewing a picture from far away gives you a new view as opposed to being close up to it. I remember we were all doing it and finding all different perspectives on the picture than arguing which one of us had the most accurate one. Although I do not appreciate art too much I found this to be both fun and enjoyable. I also really enjoyed the speaker of the exhibit. She was really sweet and nice to all of us. I really enjoyed the exhibit.
