9.20 Baltimore Museum of Art

Andy WarholShadow      /     Shadow1978      /     1979

I chose these two pieces because of their simplicity. Previous to going to the Baltimore Museum of Art, I only knew Andy Warhol as an artist who used large paintings with bright pops of color to portray bold images. These two Warhol paintings do not fit my predetermined mold of the kind of artist I assumed he was which made them even more interesting to me.

Andre Masson

I chose this piece by Andre Masson because it reminded me of my older brother. He just graduated from art school and a lot of his work involves contemporary surrealism similar to that of Masson.

Robert RymanUntitled 95

I chose this painting because from far away it doesn't look very complicated, but up close you can see each and every brush stroke on the canvas. Even though it is all white, Ryman was able to achieve dimension within his painting with the layering strokes. I also chose this painting because it was created in 1995, the year I was born.
