The trip this week was fun and again it was different from the last. I love that we can travel a few miles and have something incredibly new to do each time. I find the city so enriching and when I get older I will definitely take advantage of the fact that we live so close. And furthermore, if I do end up living there I will make it a point to get out and go all over the 5 boroughs.
We first went to the Neue Gallery and saw Messerschmitt and Klimt's work. Personally I found Messerschmitt's busts very entertaining and relatable because I always find myself making really weird faces at myself in the mirror. It's amazing how he is able to get so much detail into it even though it is of himself making it impossible to really see the detail from a different angle or up close. Klimt's work was equally great and I love that this museum had only cool stuff that was consistant. Like many artists you could see the style changing and improving as time progressed with both.
The Guggenhiem was not as impressive although still had some good pieces. It was difficult to really see or understand things. Maybe it was the noise, or the inconsistancy either way nothing stood out to me too much.
Roaming the city later was once again a great feat to get to the destination. We did use the subway after walking aimlessly to find it. Also, I don't see how any other group could have walked so far without the subway. Finding a place to eat was another adventure in addition to a bathroom. Eventually we found both and were able to visit the tree and window displays.
When I get haircuts I sit making weird faces in the mirror the whole time.
ReplyDeleteThe Guggenheim exhibit sucked in terms of the quality of the work displayed.
