New York Museum of Modern Art
In February I got to go to the MOMA in New York City. It is home to some pieces of art I’ve been dying to see for years. I saw Picasso’s work, Rothko, Pollock, Giaciometti, Warhol, and so many others. I was extra thrilled about Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol’s pieces. They were even more beautiful in person. I’ve been seeing them in text books for years, but it’s different to see them in front of you. Especially with Pollock’s work. His pieces are based so much on the texture that goes into them. There is no comparison to seeing how vivid their colors and texture are than in person. Warhol’s work was great because of the scale and colorful nature. The Campbell soup cans took up the entire wall. The piece as a whole was really gigantic. I loved his silk screen of Marilyn Monroe. It’s so beautiful in person. I felt really privileged to have gone to New York for the weekend to see these pieces.
