Pattern and Ornament: Outside Visit- Wolfsonian


Today I want to the Wolfsonian museum! the artwork was really amazing, and am definitely ready to talk about it.

The artwork had me looking at it for quite a while. I just loved
the way it's presented! This work is the definition of defying the
'rules'. Usually the eye is drawn the lightest part of the piece, yet in this piece
you're eyes are drawn to the darkness. Of course this is because of the fire,
but the fact that the fire is in the middle of darkness it so you can't look away. Yes, very inspiring.

The Artwork was so beautiful! Walking through the exhibition, I was so enamored by the work (especially the paintings). Actually I might have paid more attention to the paintings, but the other work was very interesting as well!



I liked that the different rooms tackled different times end evolutions of art. Also the diversity of different mediums was fascinating. There was even stain glass work! I did find it funny that a few of the rooms were exhibiting household items. Maybe funny is the wrong word, but that aged items art exhibited in galleries seems really ironic. I wonder what the people who used these household items would think about that...


I think the last room with the landscapes was probably my favorite. It had so many amazing landscapes paintings. I personally have a hard time painting landscapes so I admire work like this. Anyway, the museum was amazing, and i'm glad I had the opportunity to go.
