Ancient Greek sculpture

The artwork is displayed pretty spread apart from each other. It’s very spacious and you never feel crowded. Paintings are placed along the walls while sculptures are placed sporadically throughout the rooms. Some areas of the museum had themes, where artwork of similar history were put on display. You are able to walk which ever direction you’d like; the path isn’t predetermined for you. After viewing all…

On Saturday, February, 23rd I attend to a unique and spectacular Art District in the city of Miami located north of Downtown and Overtown.

The beautifully wise words of an American painter, Robert Motherwell, could not have described abstract art any better I strongly believe. He intricately and sophisticatedly describes the breath-taking style of abstract art as follows, “The function of abstraction is to get rid of a lot of reality. You start with as much richness as you want, and subtract, and then you arrive at the residue of essences that you’re interested in.” This description really allows the reader to visualize the artist…

forms with clown faces in a straight line sitting atop at tall block. Serving as the characters’ collective body, the block was painted blue, red, yellow. These three colors represented the Venezuelan flag. The sculpture consists of two hands and appears to offer a cup of tea. Marisol’s sculptures can sometimes be interpreted in different ways.

Greek high Classical period famous sculptures, Diskobolos (Discus Thrower) was made at 450 BCE by sculptor Myron I believe the significant about this sculpture is his potential for energy.
