In our second field trip, we visited two museums which are the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Art and Design. The first stop was the galleries of Sigmar Polke, a German artist famous for his numerous experimentations with different art styles and materials. He did not want to be "defined by any one style or method". Polke's subjects are often based on his perception of historical events such as the Nazi Era. The gallery "Atrium" includes artworks that vary from hand painted dots to digital prints. It was interesting to see how his choice of subject and medium evolved over time. The galleries were so different to the point where it felt as if each section was done by a different artist.
Other than Polke's works, we also looked at other works that are available at the museum. This varied from photography to paintings to installations.
We also made sure to check out the works of famous artists such as Monet, Frida Kahlo, Piet Mondrian, Andy Warhol, etc...
It was a busy day that ended in a visit to Broadway to see Pippin'.
