During our class trip to the Museum of Modern Art we studied post-impressionism art work and pop art work. Below is a picture of pop art.
This art piece is pop art by Andy Warhol featured at the MOMA. This piece and pieces similar made by him are duplicates of the same picture some in different colors to create what is know as pop art. Warhol is known as the father of pop art. I find it very interesting when my art teacher informed us that he didn't even create his work he had factories and several people would create the actual pieces from his ideas.
This next art piece is of post-impressionism.
The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
Van Gogh considered one of the pioneers of post-impressionism painted this from imagination and memory. Gogh wrote this to his brother "this morning I saw the country from my window a long time before sunrise, with nothing but the morning star that looked very big". He painted this picture from imagination and memory making this piece post impressionism. He responded to what he saw in nature and from his own expressions to create this beautiful piece. I truly enjoyed this art piece and others at the MOMA because I got to see art work from artist that I've only heard of or saw in class, I dp understand now how moving seeing art work in person can be like this photo which for some reason gives me a calming feeling when I look at it.
