Art Gallery

The trip to the Mishkin Gallery was pretty awesome.  I have always appreciated art especially since I consider myself a quasi-artist.  Anyway, we go into this gallery and I find myself- along with the rest of my male counterparts staring at this painting of a womans bossom.  At first the painting seemed oddly sexual but then when the woman running the exhibit explained what it was about this painting gained symbolic meaning.  It was as if the painter was juxtaposing the modern woman with the classic view of a woman.  I also looked at this painting where this man was on a horse.  This was a bit of an odd picture because this mans anatomical setup seemed all out of whack.  His waist seemed to small, and it looked like there was a tumour on his back.  Interestingly enough, the horse seemed to have a weird body too.  I guess the point of this was to say, “if everything is screwed up, then nothing really is.”  The best painting was this one where the artist recreated an older painting.  The artist took some liberties whilst recreating the painting.  Mostly though, the artist made the painting a lot more brighter.  This induced a spring or summer feel that evoked a feeling of warmth.  It was also interesting to note, that the painter had to almost disassemble his painting in order for it to travel.  The incredible part about it was that the painter had to mend the canvases together himself.  It’s like this guy is Leonardo da Vinci mixed with Bob Vila.  Overall, the exhibit was not only cool but incredibly informative and I enjoyed it immensely.
