Art museum

Located at the Phoenix Art Museum is a unique work that was purchased “with funds donated by Jan and Howard Hendler” and created by Yayoi Kusama in 2005. The piece is titled You Who are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies and is a “mixed media installation with LED lights” that was created as a permanent piece to the Phoenix Art Museum’s collection. The work can be found in the South Wing on the Upper Level in the Contemporary Art section of the museum. The intention of this…

Looking over the list of art galleries, one uniquely caught my eye; The Elmhurst Art Museum located in Elmhurst IL. Wandering through the museum's website, I stumbled upon an article that stated that David Wallace Haskins, a Chicago-based artist of the Skycube would be making an appearance on Sunday, November 29th. I thought that was interesting, so I decided to check it out. When I arrived, I was greeted by a thin older woman who smiled at me warmly. Right away, she asked me if I was a…

The Lakeland art Museum is the focal point of my report, where I enjoyed many paintings, photographs, and sculptures of many artists both renowned and local. Examples of such would be Pablo Picasso, Francisco De Goya, Hung Liu, and many more. Although the first to catch my eye was that of Liu’s work Working Woman: Millstone 1999, an etching with soft colors, varnish, as well as paint. It depicts two work-worn older Chinese woman operating a millstone the image also depicted red kanji, fruit, and…

part of everyone’s heritage.” What strikes me as odd, is the fact that this statement claims that “Africa is a part of everyone’s heritage”, however, the National Museum of African Art is one of the smallest museums within the Smithsonian. If the above statement is true than why is this museum not bigger? This goes to show…

where we don't have art museums at all. In fact, the people of my country do not give importance to art at all, although if you look at traditional clothes, houses it's full of art yet they do not notice that. This is my first Art class that I am taking so, I believe that I do see art a little bit different than those who had experience in the past. I see arts in many ways. When I used to say to my friends and family that even the pictures we are taking even that consider as art. I believe in…

Street Art Versus Museums: The Role of Context in Exhibition The concept of integrating urban life and art has come to play a central role in a movement of artists for whom the city walls act as the canvas to their limitless imaginations. These artists practice street art - the creation of unsanctioned visual art in a public space outside the context of traditional art venues. Since the birth of this art form during the late 1960s in New York, these artists have often been in dissonance with…

Walking into the Bakersfield Art Museum you are greeted by wonderful staff and the first thing you see as you walk in is a colorful wall of volcanic basin and range. One of the art education staff members walked us through the art museum and explained different art pieces in the museum. She also explained many education programs that they offer not only for K-12, but also for adults. They had many different artworks with many different types of mediums from oil paint to charcoal. The staff…

Representation in Museums In 1910, the art of the Native American culture began to be displayed in art museums. The first was an art museum in Brooklyn, which presented Native American culture’s works as serious art. The curator, Stuart Culin, selected one tribe to represent the entire region of North America. Objects exhibited in the museum were organized based on their function. Very descriptive labels, photographs, small-scale models, and others means were used to attempt to portray the…

I had been to The Yale Art Gallery many times before, and I've enjoyed many of the exhibits. Some of them represent the permanent collection of the Gallery, and some collections are temporary as they are borrowed from other museums and are on display for only a short period. Each tine I return to the museum I always find something interesting to see. This time, I had visited the new to the Gallery Indo- Pacific art exhibit. I had not seen it before, and quickly became fascinated by it. The…

The first piece really inspired me because it had so much color and it had so much going on at the same time. It was almost like someone took a picture of a moving crowd. I saw plenty of things going on in that painting. Too much to describe in a short essay. But some of the things that I noticed were basic things that almost everyone saw. There was a snake that was eating a bird which is part of the cycle of course. Then I noticed that some of the animals were facing my direction as if looking…
