MOMA

We decided to broaden our horizons and made our way over to the Modern Museum of Art and were pleasantly surprised with all the wonderful paintings and sculptures the museum has to offer. After many humanities and art classes in college, it was really cool to see a lot of the paintings that I had studied in real life. There was a special exhibit of all of Salvador Dali's paintings. He's the one who painted the Persistence of Memory and is know for his 'out there' concepts. That guy must have been messed up in the head because his paintings are so random. I could never image coming up with any of the things he did. It was pretty interesting. Here are some of my favorites from the day...

Jackson Pollock's famous paint splatter art

Van Gogh Picaso This Monet painting was beautiful and extremely large. It spanned the entire length of the room. I couldn't even fit the the whole thing in the picture.
