This friday I visited the MOMA and stood in front of some amazing art pieces. What usually catches my eyes is the manipulation of color especially bright, vibrant ones. One piece by Gustav Klimt was especially attractive because of the intense greens that portrayed a green forest. The majority of the painting was composed of the leaves of these forrest trees, that were actually made of points. Without the bottom part of the painting that reveals thin tree trunks, it would not be clear that these points are actually leaves. Hence, both parts relied on each other to make clear the subject of the art. Additionally, I liked the way the tree trunk lines and the points of the leaves all together seem blurry, and none rather distinct from the other. Hence, this unclarity calls forth more undivided attention from the spectator. 

The next two images I liked were because of their complexity. They had hidden messages or better said hidden subjects. One piece by Frantisek Kupta uses bright,vertical slabs of colors  that hide a woman's face towards the upper portion of the frame. The face seems soft, calm, and at peace as a result of the closed eyes. Though these bright colors from a distance seem very happy-go-lucky, the content is actually more tranquil.

A similar painting is one with a white background that has swirls of colorful brush strokes. At a distance, these seem only like a complicated maze but as one gets closer they notice that there hides a japanese woman in a sitting position. The brushstrokes have been manipulate by the artist to form the outline of a pensive woman. Hence, this image like former has hidden subjects that make it unique because of its complexity.
