The Reflection of AIC Museum

I had a great trip in AIC Museum on Wednesday. I visited the museum with Gitte and my classmates. The first artwork that we watched was “Paris Street; Rainy Day” which was drawn by Gustave Caillebotte. 

I felt a strong European style from this painting because of the buildings, the clothes, and the umbrellas. Then, “A Sunday Afternoon on the La Grande Jatte” by George Seurat was in front of us. This artwork was painted in 1884. I noticed that half of this painting has sunlight and half was in shadow. Moreover, most women in the painting wore a hat with flowers. I saw many warm colors in this painting, and I thought that the painter might use the compare between light and shadow to express the war was over and hope were coming. Then, we looked around the works by Van Gogh, and there are some carvings by Pail

Gauguin in the same room. I remembered that they were good friend at first, but they argued and didn’t contact anymore. The painting by Van Gogh which I had a deep impression was his “Self-Portrait”. He used dark colors to finish this painting that I could feel his sad and oppression. We also saw the artworks by Claude Monet and Paul Gauguin in different gallery rooms. My favorite painting in AIC Museum is “Sky Above Clouds IV,

1965” that was drawn by Georgia O’Keefe’s. The clouds which near visitors were big, and the far clouds were small. In this painting, clouds which don’t have regular shapes looked like some rectangles. I thought that was a frozen lake surface at first if I didn’t know the name. The painting “The Old Guitarist” by Pablo Picasso also attracted me. An old, poor and weak guitar still held his guitar. I realized that he had deep love on guitar and music. Then, my partner Jeremy and I chose “The Red Armchair”, one of Pablo Picasso’ s artworks, for our team presentation. It was drawn on December 16,1931. The first thing I focused on was the different

colors and shapes on left side and right side in the painting. And the woman who sat at the chair seemed have two faces. We believed that it stood for his two different styles and he was changing his art style to Cubism at that time. We also wrote a short poem for it. It was a great experience though it was snowy when we left.

Strange, weird

Luckily directly Inadvertently

In front of me

Quietly sit lonely

Amazing Mysterious
