Metropolitan Museum Of Art Analysis

“Vrrrrrrrr” sounds the fans cooling the projectors displaying video instillations of Terry Berkowitz “the last supper”. As I strolled into this gallery, I instantly thought of both “ted talks” we previously had this semester and how the artist we using rather unconventional means to portray their art. In visiting the Boca Museum Of Art I observed 3 specific pieces that tied into lessons I’ve come to learn more about in this semester.

The Brooklyn Museum hosts around 1.5 million works of art of different variations. One particularly fascinating genre is the Ancient Egypt exhibition. On the third floor, the exhibit is split into two sections: Early and New Kingdom, which is separated by a conjoined gallery. Entering into the conjoined gallery, artifacts from both eras are encased in rectangular glass. On the left, is the entrance to the New Kingdom Wing. In this section, a string of spotlights illuminates each encasement with a golden warm hue. Inside some cases are miniature shaved skulls placed upon a singular black pole. In others are lapis jewelry, and fragments of etched clay pottery. Further into the exhibit is yet another enclosed space. The walls are painted midnight black and the lighting is dimmed. There are rows of laid canvas wrapped mummies and tablet remnants all separated in glass.

The Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden, part of the New Orleans Museum of Art, contains several dozen 20th century and 21st century sculptures from across the globe. The five-acre garden mostly features figures from American and European artists, most of them being created within the past 70 years. Surrounded by the beautiful landscape of City Park, many impressive works are presented at the sculpture garden. However, two particular works that stood out to me were the Venus Victorius and Untitled.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is a very beautiful, calm, and peaceful museum. My first impression of this museum was that it was a very unique museum because of the paintings and structures. Any museum would have its attractions like the Getty has the train ride and maze garden the LACMA has the Urban lights that everyone from around the world comes to visit. The LACMA has a variety of age groups that come and visit from teenagers to older people. From what I saw most people were dressed casually.

When people think about a museum most of them think about walking around starring at paintings they don’t understand and reading the little cards with their description. After a while they get tired of walking around long hallways and finally decide to leave. On the other hand, the Gallery One at the Cleveland Museum of Arts is more than just a museum, it’s a fun and innovative environment that how Alexander explained, “… the intention of Gallery One was to transform visitors into participants, rather than passive observers.” (2014). When people get their hands on the action they are most likely to have fun, learn, and build experience.

The Blanton Museum of Art has multiples paintings and pieces of art that allows me to express different opinions and feelings about the art. Out of all of the pieces, Students from the Pestalozzian Academy by Francisco Jose de Goya, is the painting that I admired the most. On the other hand, Fearful Folly from Los Disparates made by Francisco Goya is a painting that I disapprove of.

The museum I went to was the Orlando Museum of Art and the painting I choose to analysis is Soupe D’ane by Miquel Barcelo. This oil painting on canvas was made in 1992. Barcelo depicts donkeys in a bowl being made into soup.

Upon visiting the San Antonio Museum of Art I found nothing about art extremely interesting and I honestly wasn’t looking forward to spending a majority of my day looking at art pieces. However, as I approached the museum I was in awe of how beautiful the building was. The way it was placed in downtown San Antonio was absolutely astonishing. As I walked through the huge glass doors I knew I was in for a pleasant surprise. I carefully took the time to examine each artwork and read the descriptions of each one. I found it extremely difficult to find just one I liked and surprisingly I disliked a lot more pieces than I thought I would. I ended up having to actually walk through the museum three times in order to find my chosen pieces. I didn’t

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the world's largest and finest art museums. The main Neoclassical architectural style building is located on the eastern edge of Central Park in New York City, New York. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986. It was founded in 1870 with a mission to collect, preserve, and display works of art. In 1866 a group of Americans gathered at a restaurant to celebrate the Fourth of July. After dinner, John Jay, a prominent lawyer gave a speech proposing that he and his compatriots decided to create a “national institution and gallery of art.” In the next four years, they convinced American civic leaders, art collectors, and philanthropists to support the project, and finally in 1870 the Metropolitan Museum of Art was incorporated. During the 1870s the museum was housed in two different locations in New York City, first in a building at 681 Fifth Avenue and later at 128 West 14th Street. In 1880 the museum moved to its present location in Central Park on Fifth Avenue between 80th and 84th Streets. The museum moved to this land to make a permanent home for the collections. This original Gothic Revival-style brick building, designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mold, was opened to

The Dallas Museum of Art has a wide variety of ancient and modern art from around the world. The DMA’s Asian collection has a large array of artworks that represents Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. In the DMA’s Asian collection I found two statues that were both called The Lokapala (Heavenly Guardian). The Heavenly Guardians were the first thing my eyes settled on when I entered the room where they stand on display. The way the figures were displayed as well as being able to see them up close and in person allowed me to have a greater connection with the artworks as well as a greater appreciation for the craftsmanship of the pieces more than I would have if I saw them on a screen.

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

When walking into the freshly built art museum of West Virginia University one can automatically feel a sense of serenity. The spacing of the art pieces and the way the light hit them makes you want to take your time and examine every detail each work has to offer. It gives you no other choice but to give your full, undivided attention to one piece at a time. The way this museum was designed made it so I almost forgot about the rest of my day. Where I had to be later, what class I had, when I had to be in for work, all of those everyday thoughts and worries seemed to disappear when walking through those doors.

Artwork can be whatever you would like for it to be because it really is up to your imagination. From what I have seen, you can make a piece of art out of anything as long as it looks good and has an interesting story behind the making of it. When I went to the Zuckerman Museum of Art on the Kennesaw State University Campus; I saw amazing pieces of artwork. From what I have seen in the section of Sleight of Hand, there are a few images that show an important message from artwork that they found precious. According to these postcards with images on them. There is an image that shows men holding elephant horns. It may not seem like anything to us, but back in the day I believe that it was very important to the Africans. It was important because
