Mexican Museum Analysis

This painting was completed for the four hundredth anniversary of the Conquest and it was exhibited originally in the Mexican pavilion for the World Colombian exhibition in Chicago in 1893. In being showcased to the public, it was meant to have a dark representation of the already dark subject matter of the Conquest. Izaguirre creates a heritage filled with political meaning for Mexico in this historical painting of the Torture of Cuauhtemoc.

As you arrive into the reception area of the Cleveland Museum of Art, you are greeted with silence. The clomping of shoes and whispers of fellow museum goers about what the “true meaning” behind the piece is fills the air. The first floor of the museum is dedicated to historical artifacts and artwork dating in the time period called Before Common Era (B.C.E.). Each piece is accompanied by a placard on the wall courtesy of the museum. The pieces are approximately dated, described, and an explanation of how each piece was used is given in the short paragraph.

Without a doubt, The Hispanic Society of America is a museum where the artwork does not show Hispanic people fighting, but instead, it shows a healthy image. A visitor of the museum said, in a 2016 article that “one feels transported to another time and another place.” This shows that when you are in the museum, you can concentrate, and feel peaceful. You can feel what the paintings are trying to communicate in the most comfortable way possible.

For this museum paper, I went to the Heritage of the Americas Museum at Cuyamaca College. The Heritage of the Americas Museum is a cultural and educational facility featuring the prehistoric and historic art, culture and natural history of the Americas; North, South and Central America. Even though this museum is specializes in housing early inhabitants of the Americas art and artifacts, they do posses some non-western pieces, specifically Chinese, which coincidentally became my favorite item out of all the exhibits and is what I chose to do my research on for this paper. But before I getting into one specific piece out of literally hundreds, I want to rewind back and discuss the Museum’s as a whole, and why I chose this one in particular instead

“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 museum is in a mansion and has been since 1971. The museum use to have meeting and get-togethers. Federico Garcia Lorca, Maria Guerrero, Vicente Blasco Ibanez, Rene Dumesnil, and Eduardo Zamacois went to these. They are all famous artists.

With works in every known medium, from every part of the world, throughout all points in history, exploring the vast collection of the Museum of Modern Art was an overwhelming experience. The objects in the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts are an important historical collection, reflecting the development of a number of art forms in Western Europe. The department's holdings covered sculpture in many sizes, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, jewelry, and tapestries. The gallery attracted my appreciation of the realistic qualities of the human body often portrayed in sculpture.

I had the opportunity to visit the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA). It is placed in a wonderful scenario called the City Park, in which the three-story building is surrounded by oak trees and artificial lakes. At the desk, a lady welcomed you in a large hall dominated by a central stair. On each side of the hall, there are rooms with European paintings, in particular Dutch, Flemish, and Italian; in front, instead, there is a large room with photographs. As I finish my visit of the first floor and I moved up towards the second, right in front of me I see a bronze statue by Rodin, who I knew for his famous The Thinker. At the second floor, I can admire American, Spanish, and French painters; in particular, I recognize names such as Picasso,

On October 14, 2016, I attended the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art in Elmhurst, Illinois. The Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art is a museum that shows different pieces of art made from a wide variety of rocks and minerals, making wonderful works of art to say the least. The Lizzadro Museum displayed more than two hundred pieces of gemstones art sculptures, which is cut and polished to make it pleasing to the eye. Vases, bowls, plates different Gods and Goddesses sculptures were some of the many items that was on display at the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art. The Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art also had an abundant amount of different artworks from around the world as well as artwork from different eras. The timeframe of these artworks ranges

John Volk was the architect that designed The Museum of Fine Arts and explained the structure as such: “a museum should give a feeling of permanence and that is what I have tried to do with this building”. His plan was well executed, when I arrived to the museum I noticed two different designs. The front of the museum reminded me of the Ionic Order, the Volutes and the molded bases became my main focus. The beige paint seemed like a great fit as well, it added to the light and airy flow within the museum and gave me further evidence that the Ionic order outside represented what was displayed inside. However, the actual style of the building was a Palladian Style which originated from Europe in the 1500’s.

It was one of the first depot’s to be built in Victorian style having an office, a men’s and women’s waiting room and a freight room.

With the world gradually becoming more consumed by the ‘media-saturated contemporary culture’, American artist Blair Thurman explores the place art has in the modern world. Located on the second floor of the Oklahoma Museum of Art lies his 370 x 274 x 90 centimeter Honeybadgers installation created in 2009, a sculpture piece constructed with plywood, acrylic, glass, neon, and wire pieces. This exhibition occupies a small, but tall room that is approximately 400 square feet, and is on display until May 1st, 2016. Museums are traditionally the institutions that produces conversations for the audience to speak back to, and Thurman uses this discurvisity to communicate his works. His work appears to relay the idea of conceptual art in that concept
