We had a wonderful day at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)! We started at the top and worked our way down, stopping for lunch at the Museum Cafe. The first Exhibit was Cindy Sherman's photographs. At first, I was "not sure" about them, but as I read about her and her portraits I was incredibly impressed!
I took an Art Appreciation class in college at The University of Arkansas at Little Rock by Professor/Artist Al Allen, and it changed my life regarding art. He focused on the Fauvism Era and I was immediately in love. We studied five of the Fauvist artists: Van Gogh, Matisse, Gauguin, Renoir and Picasso. Henri Matisse was my instant favorite, his colors and patterns blew my little Arkansas mind away! haha To get to view some of these pieces was very exciting!
Paul Gauguin
Vincent Van Gogh

And, then there were The Water Lillies! Breathtaking!

And, Jackson Pollock!
And, Keith Haring!
And, finally, here I am studying Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe.
So serious....haha
If I haven't completely bored you to tears, I will be posting a couple more things tomorrow!
