“Third Times a Charm”
After visiting the MOMA on numerous ocassions, I wasn’t too thrilled to be venturing into that territory once more. As absent minded and irresponsible as it sounds, I decided to leave my visit for the last minute-Wednesday afternoon. Being that I am an Orthodox Jew, these last few days for me have been all about […]

Museum: Les pauvres et les enfants non admis – Museum: The poor and children not admitted
My walk to the Museum of Modern Art, from Lexington Avenue to nearly the end of 6th Avenue, brought me little comfort to my initially very anxious, albeit inquisitive self. I saw beautiful pieces of art resting on the endless Park and Madison Avenues along with the hundreds of middle-/upper middle-class foreigners. Self-consciousness overwhelmed me. […]

MoMA Madness
It was the first time I had stepped into the MoMA in my life. I took art as my major in middle school and always had a knack for drawing but I never really took the time to analyze art. Nor did I really want to take the time to meticulously examine art work. I […]

Beyond the Canvas
I have never professed to understand nor enjoy abstract art. Even after our weekly discussions and biographical recollections of a few of the greater painters of the abstract era, I stil cannot for the life of me appreciate the messages conveyed. Perhaps it is because I will never quite understand the circumstances that warranted the […]

Almost Completely Different
This trip was my first trip to the MoMa. I’ve been to the Met but from what I’ve heard, the art and the museum itself is completely different. Immediately after walking into the lobby, I knew that it was true. There is a section of the wall where you can write on slips what you […]

Zoning out to “Untitled”
When looking at my planner, a few days ago I saw that I had to post about the MoMa by Thursday. Having people coming over the weekend and having classes in the afternoon on weekdays, I’d thought I’d visit the MoMa sometime at night. It would be a nice calming stroll where I could look […]

Visit to Moma
For the past two years, I have grown to be a fan of Moma; partly because I was thinking of majoring in art of metal designing back in high school for a short time. But, I was never enthusiastic or brave enough to visit there all alone. This Saturday was my first time visiting Museum […]

Art?
I visited the Museum of Modern Art Monday afternoon on the 17th of September. When we discussed modern and abstract art in class for the past 2 weeks, I thought I understood why people made abstract art. When I walked out of the MoMA and thought about what I saw, I realized that I really […]

A Day At MoMA
Last Friday I went to MoMA for the first time in my life, feeling apprehensive about the intellectual works of art that are referenced to being at MoMA. As I walked around, I noticed the various artists categorized by floors and rooms and the different styles of art that each of them had. From enormous […]
