In our second field trip, we visited MOMA PS1 (Museum of Modern Art PS1). In this trip our task was to look for three artworks, one artwork that we liked, one artwork that we disliked and one artwork that we did not understand. In my writing I am going to present my three artworks that caught my attention. I will be presenting my point of view about my likes dislikes and what I did not understand about the painting. However, people in general have different points of view and this will be an example of art from diverse points.
My first artwork that I chose is from Henry Taylor, I liked this painting because the message of the painting was clear and unique. What I really appreciated about this piece was the message. From my point of view, what the artist wanted to show is that there is possible to unite people and be the one, the finger going in an up direction is a good symbol for that purpose.The image shows that it would be great if everybody get together to become one. This artwork reminds me of what my father always told me, always study hard to be excellent and be the one on everything.
The second artwork that I chose which I dislike is from Henry Taylor too, I disliked this piece because did not show me the art or inspiration that I always look up in an artwork. What turned me off was the plainness the image presented. In my opinion is not art, the cardboard and the mannequin head is not unique. However, I know some people will appreciate this piece because everyone has numerous of ideas and different ways to see certain works, though is not my taste of real art.
My third artwork and last is what I did not understand, this artwork at the beginning appeared to be good, but I really did not recognize the single pieces of the work. When I tried to look deeper into the image I did not find like the meaning of the artwork, everything was a disorder like a jungle, it was really confusing. In addition there was no clue of the meaning, even though I know the art does not need to give all the answers.
In conclusion, these three artworks in some way were pretty interesting; art does not have any wrong or right answer that is why a work of art is the visual expression of an exceptional idea that an artist forms. Being an artist has to be very heroic, because they have to imagine more than any person to create their works. The three artworks that I chose are example of the imagination and originality of a great artist, I really have learned a lot during these trips to MOMA.
