Museum Blog

I went to the Cantor museum where i saw many works of art. It was refreshing to go to this museaum and see all the art work because it was something i never do but after going plan on doing more often. I was in awe of all of the paintings and sculptures that it is impossible to pick just one.
but the one i would say really stuck out to me was Assasanation of a famous nut artist by Robert Arneson. though it was a little gruesome and gory i was amazed with all the details from the smoke of the gun, all of the wounds, his facial expressions, and the snot coming out of his nose. I truly respect people who can sculpt let alone add so much detail and realism.

i also enjoyed the Rodin section after reading about it in the textbook it was cool to see it in person.

Woman In A Loge


This painting was painted by Mary Cassett in 1879. The Painting is painted with bright luminous colors and flowing brushwork. The colors show a lightness that make the painting eye catching. The Painting Depicts a woman at the opera elegantly dressed. Behind her the viewer can see the through a mirror the reflection of the back of her as well as other People watching the opera. The woman's face is a face of enjoyment as you can see from the smile on the woman's face. Which is why i like this painting so much. Her smile isn't really big as if to show excitement, but a smile of contentment, comfort, and the joy of just being in the moment. I can relate to this image because it reminds me of times being out with friends and being truly happy.
