The Museum of Modern Art

On Friday May 4, 2007 I visited the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. It was a great experience and a wonderful. When we got there it was free admission because it was Friday around
5:00. It was so crowded I felt like I was going to a concert. Anyway here are some of my favorite pieces from this museum. Sorry again for the blurry pictures, the good new is I finally got my camera back.



This piece is by Henri Rousseau
The Sleeping Gypsy 1897
Oil on Canvas
I found this painting interesting from its colors. It almost seems like a water color painting.


Vincent Van Gogh
Starry Night 1889
Oil on Canvas
This was clearly the painting everyone was there to see. I had to fight through a crowd of people to get this picture. It was also my wife's favorite painting and she was disappointed we could not get in closer to admire for a bit.


Pablo Picasso
Card Player winter 1913-1914
Oil on Canvas
I really liked this painting. It looks as if there there are multiple paintings laid over the top of each other.



Giacomo Balla
Swifts: Pathss of Movement + Dynamic Sequences 1913
Oil on Canvas
This painting has nice flowing lines through the painting. It seems to get busier as it moves into the bottom right hand corner.


Jackson Pollock
Number 1, 1948 1948
Oil and enamel on unprimed canvas
I had to throw in a Jackson Pollock. I did my painting at the Met on him and I seem to have a new found appreciation since I did some research into his background. This is one of the pieces during the era when he used his "drip method".
