MOMA tour

My favorite part of the MOMA tour was definitely the "Mod" room. Even though those paintings were created from the 1920's to the 1940's, they remind me so much of the 1960's mod era. I was told by Dr. Bergman that this artist actually inspired the Mod era, which is amazing. The simplicity of the paintings is what captured my attention the most. When I walked into the room, the first thing I said was "Ooo, artwork for your new home!" This is exactly what this kind of art inspires me to do: decorate. It may seem corny, but I love contemporary art. One that we focused on in particular was a diamond shaped canvas with four black stripes on it. While others were trying to determine the symbolism of the piece of art, I was designing an entire room in my head based of the painting. I also was intrigued on how the pieces in the room seemed to represent a series, even though they were created years apart. If you went from the right side of the room to the left, more and more color was slowly added to the paintings. It seemed perfect to have each painting in one room of the house, and to have the room decorated based on inspiration from each painting. Don't get me wrong, I am not an interior designer. However, I do love art in the home and I felt very at home while in that room.
