The virtual online museum visit The metropolitan museum of art is a very interesting place
to visit on website. There are a lot of
galleries to visit:
The American wing, Ancient near eastern art, Arms and armor, Asian Art,The Cloasters,The Costume institute, Drawing and prints Modern and Contemporary Art
The one that I am most drawn to is Modern and Contemporary
Art gallery:
The Metropolitan Museum has collected and exhibited work by
living artists since its founding in 1870. Today, the department's holdings
comprise more than twelve thousand works of art across a broad range of media
from 1900 to the present
Using my favorite artist Pablo Picasso Standing Female was a
highly abstract charcoal drawing of a standing female nude, although reduced to
series of lines and semicircle, without any semblance of three-dimensional
form. His famous remark about women being "goddesses or doormats" has
rendered him odious to feminists, but a woman tended to walk into both roles
open-eyed and eagerly, for his charm was legendary. Whole cultural industries
derived from his much mythologized virility. He was the Minotaur in a
canvas-and-paper labyrinth of his own construction.
Another is a Head of a Women this painting context was the
irreverence fostered by Picasso’s Surrealist friends, but the subject is his
deteriorating marriage to the Russian dancer Olga Kokhlova.
