Milwaukee Public Art Museum

Yesterday our class spent the day at the Milwauke public art museum. When you first walk in you get the feeling that it's going to be a good day. The architectural design of the museum is very modern. I was expecting to se modern art, pointalism, and abstract, there really wasn't much of this in the museum. Most of the pieces in the museum were realistic and potraits. I would have prefered more abstract art, with abstract art you can getting a better feeling for it and have more of a view upon it. With a portrait you get what you see, a person.
My favorite exibit was the Andy Warhol. He took pictures of people, painted then, and then played around with the colors. Andy Warhol is easier to relate to with art. He can take a simple picture, say, his Marilyn picture, and show different sides fo the person. Andy Warhol is byfar one of the favorite artists, he does do mostly portraits, but he can make you think more about them.
