The part i enjoyed most about the new museum was the 7th floor where you could walk out and see the city. The building was very interesting and I liked how you could start at the top and work down. The cape town photographs were interesting and gave a first hand look of how people live. I especially remember the one of a shanty town situation with a busy roadway right up the hill. I did not like the first floor with the very sexual paintings. I feel art can be achieved without being that out there and that in your face. It was awkward to walk around with my mom thru it. She is a graphic designer and did not seem to like it either.
Please talk about the work you saw at the museum. You do not even mention any of the artist's names or describe their work. You need to be more specific.
ReplyDeletethe cape town pictures were very interesting but I found Emory Douglas's work to be the most intriguing. I like the print making aspects of it. I really liked the installment on the wall when you first walked onto that floor from the elevator how the young boy was painted on the wall with the rising sun type background. I found this work very similar to urban works I like similar to Shepard Fairey and his company obey.
