LACMA :)

So fyi: i hate, let me repeat, i hate blogger, like i cant even figure out how to move pictures and place them where i want on this page. but watever.

anyways, the los angeles county museum of art was simply fabulous. i loved it. my favorite section of the whole museum i say was the contemporary art section with the painting above in it. it had so many outrageous things in this section, such as a HUGE version of a ballon dog. and it had huge kellogs boxes (as shown above). it was simply to die for. everything was so eye catching and extremely well put together in a way that might as well be undescribeable. i spent so much time wandering around it again and again. my second favorite part was of course, the modern art section. this is where i found jackson pollocks work as well as many others. i also deiscovered that i enjoy weird things such a sculptures and inanimate objects like charis,shoes, and lights (such simple things) placed in such an order that it became art. makes me wonder if my room is art in some way...

i also discovered my favorite painting...that head of a woman by pablo picasso. its the first picture up above. this painting just for some reason took my attention of paintings to a whole new level. i dont even really like picasso's work all that much, but for some reason i love this painting. a woman came by me, who worked there, and said why i was staring at this painting. i told her it was beautiful, that i cant tell why but i love it. she explained to me to look deeper into the painting. use the idea of time. so i stared as she explained, do you see the hand moving in time...do you see the two faces, but how it is really one face? do you see the ears, the eyes, the hair? all of sudden it was like the painting was moving and it made sense. i guess people can all see different things with paintings, i saw a head of a woman who was progressing through time.

finally i walked through the american art building, european art, and the egyptian art. at the very end before i left, i sat in on a painting seminar for 15 min, where a lady would speak on a painting and tell about the artist, etc. i learned about the painting by georges barque called the concert. i learned about cubism and even some more on picasso, since georges and him were fellow artists.

overall, i had a splendid time and i plan to go back and take my family since this time i went all by myself.
