NY Day 5

Today was a more chill day, no tours. We went to MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) and it was amazing! We got to see the Tim Burton exhibition of his illustrations, films and sculptures. To tell you the truth I knew who he was and have seen a couple of his movies, but never realized what a brilliant artist he is. His use of balance, line form and color combinations are exceptional. Too bad we weren't allowed to take pics!

We also had the pleasure of seeing the Bauhaus exhibition and pieces by artists such as Picasso, Richard Avedon, Mondrian, Albers, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, and more. But can I just say how excited I was to see the sculptures of Romanian post-modern artist Constantin Brancusi? One of his pieces sold for 36 million dollars at a Yves Saint Laurent auction (via huffigntonpost). Really really great seeing the pieces in real life after studying 19th and 20th Century Art at school.

Too bad we have to leave tomorrow morning, I will definitely miss New York.
