Day 49: Explore Ft. Worth Part 2
看圖說故事; Story book :P
Some quotes I saw in the museum I really liked:
"The final moral is: let photography be "literary"" - Clement Greenberg, 1946
"Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it" - Robert Motherwell
"Art is art. Everything else is everything else" - Ad Reinhardt
"There is no such thing as good painting about nothing" - Mark Rothko
And of course my day would end with food ;)

| Today, we went to Amon Carter Museum of American Art. |
 |
| Most of the art pieces are by the West American. I love the museum! The size of the museum is perfect that you won't get tired of looking at each piece. There are different styles and media as well, like photography, oil on canvas etc. Usually I enjoy the very realistic ones, that look exactly like the photographs, but today I realized that I like another type, which is kind of similar to style of Picasso but...different. |

I really wanna try in-n-out burger! maybe in hk! gosh it looks really good...and the museum looks really interesting! it's been long since i've seen some art...and i agree with Mark Rothko's quote! if an art piece has no meaning...then it's purely art for art's sake...
ReplyDeletethere's in-n-out burger in HK?!!!! Cali still has the best in-n-out so better try it there!
DeleteI like the nature pics!!!
ReplyDeleteHow would you describe west american art?
i mean most artists are inspired by the past artists so I can see some picasso aspect in some of the paintings. I would say they focus a lot on Indian American and the nature and living of them.
