New York.

In february, my friend and I decided to spend our student loans wisely on a trip to the big city. Looking back, I slightly regret some of the museum visiting decisions we made, I wish we'd have looked a little more off the beaten track... But still, I got to see (in the flesh!) some of the art worlds most amazing history altering paintings. All of these pictures were taken in the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art, New York)


Here is Frida Kahlo above, complete with a monkey and a moustache.


Above is work by Alexander Rodchenko... (I think!)

Here is me, along with Picasso's 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon'. Now, I find it easy to say this is one of my all time favourite pieces of art. It sort of just roles right off the tongue. A few years ago however, would have been a totally different story... to think it was locked away for some 20 years is really quite upsetting.


I'm a bit of a fan girl of Jackson Pollock if i'm honest. Anything surrounded by tradgedy i'm sort of drawn to; I feel nothing but complete admiration and empathy for this guy. I know he was probably a miserable drunken grump really, but oh well, C'est la vie.


This work is by Willem de Kooning. Some years ago I based alot of my work on this artist. I remember really liking the messy outcome, its rather pleasing to the eye! I realise the picture is rather blurry... just don't click to make it bigger.


The work above is a result of Yves Klein. I'm not quite sure the meaning behind his work, but I do know he dragged a number of naked women covered in blue paint across a clean sheet of paper, resulting in the image above. Every male artists dream I imagine...

I'm kicking myself because I can't remember the name of this artist or the title of his work. I think it may have been Sam something though... This work is based on him taking a photograph of himself every few hours, which caused him to be sleep deprived. I remember seeing clock-in cards and a video of him doing the same thing at a completely different gallery a few months later... possibly in Barcelona.
