because of the exams i'm going through one of these gawd-i-wish-i-were-on-vacation-moments argh.

i want to go to MoMA [the Museum of Modern Art], screw the MET. this place has the most fantastic collection of modern art! you know all the paintings that you've ever been learning bout in art classes? they've got 'em all. i could literally put my nose up against every pointalism painting they had. Did i mention they had at least 8 seurats?

and stary night, despite its cliches (being a van gogh, being a van gogh on every damn calender, having bad songs sung about it)surprisingly manages to take your breath away.

pay my respects to picasso.
i want to buy his "3 Musicians" and the " night cafe" should I ever have roughly an infinite amount of money in loose change/ oh and "the painting that changed art history forever"...at least according to some people, a painting of crudely drawn naked prostitutes (:

i still like it though, there's a je ne sais quoi to it.
it's quirky of course there was Warhol and every single lovely campbell's soup can ever printed and monroe who we all loveMatisse - minus the snail which is in the Tate Modern, always sublimeMarcel Duchamp and the Wheel on a Stool, personal favourite/best title given to a piece of work "Stare through the crack with one eye closed for an hour"all the surrealists. totally surreal, totally dreamlike and at the same time all too realistic for a painting.. my favourite italian futurists (: all in one building at that chagal!

and of course the only 2 American men I can actually stand as artists Rothko and Barnet-Newman. Warhol is international property :Pand Pollock. i love Pollock. could i love anyone more than i love Pollock?(well, yes)

but heck, i love Pollock. Pollock = Greatest inspiration. Much love to Pollock.hell, you can say it's just a splatter. but when you see these splatters on that massive scale,you kinda take a step back and go "wow."
