SF Moma

Writing blog after such a long time, a month. And you know the best thing about it, this is coming as an inner call. This blog is the space where my mind wants to release the data so that it can consume more. A data transfer from one hard drive to another :)
So, here we go.

Went to SF Moma almost a month ago. It was my second visit to that museum. I have been just meaning to go there for a long time. There was Getrude Stein exhibition going on which included Matisse, Picasso and many more.

Modern art has always been elusive to me, for the most part the questions lie in two different buckets - (a) What is the artist trying to convey with this portrait and (b) Is this really an art worthy of exhibiting.

Initially whenever i looked at a painting of static objects such as flowers or apples, i used to wonder that it is only an apple, whats so great about it. But then later when i realized how difficult it is for me to draw/paint an apple, i realized that it is not that easy either.

The one section which i enjoy the most at MOMA is their photography exhibition. These are photographs of real people/places captured in a manner that one can stare at it endlessly. The idea that time has been framed, that the emotion is captured makes photography truely a great art and one that atleast i can appreciate.

There was also a friday talk at office by Barbara on the Modern art subject and that fueled me to go to MOMA.
