MFA...6.05.2008

Today we went to the museum of fine arts, and i'd say that i enjoyed this field trip much better than the previous one to the axiom exhibit. I can better relate to and understand traditional art morso than new crazy technology art that is a little out there. More simply i just enjoy it more and appreciate it more. there were two works that caught my attention specifically. The first being "Two Nudes (Lovers)" by Oskar Kokoschka, this work is a more modern piece and reminded me of works by van gogh and other similar artist. this painted was especialy cooled because it looked like a stain glass window and was full of vibrant colors and was kind of messy looking with its jagged dark lines which all added to the appeal, at least for me. the second piece i enjoyed was entitle the "Scourging of Christ" by Giulio Cesare Procaccini, I liked this paticualr work because of its mysterious quality. the painting is obv fixated on Jesus but in the background there are all these slightly visible dark characters that all have a look of contempt on their face forshadowing dark and cruel events. i thought it was a perfect painting that showed a story with great emotion.
