You're the Curator.


                 THE OLD SCHOOL VIBE GALLERIA.

           As well all know picking out a theme for your exhibit can be hard, because many of the owners of the exhibits just think about how the art can fit in with the theme and how people would try to look at the work. My theme would be a vintage vibe of old school stuff because I believe that people enjoy art and places that are old school, because they say old school was the best times in the day. I except that my viewers should take in a better feel for art and expect them to analyze the art in a more deeper way while they experience the vintage vibe of the place.  
           As we all know art is something very admired by anyone and what brings more people to looking at is the way the artist paints the piece. I choose three art pieces which brought my attention which where this:
 Andy Warhol. Gold Marilyn Monroe. 1962. Silkscreen ink on synthetic polymer paint on canvas, 6' 11 1/4" x 57" (211.4 x 144.7 cm). Gift of Philip Johnson. © 2011 Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York

Claude Cahun. Untitled. c. 1928

        I believe that my selections relate to each other because they present a form of old school drawing something you don't see a lot now in days. They can share some similarities in how old the artist picked out old things from the past to use in the today's world which to me is very fascinating. The purpose behind me presenting this three pieces is mainly because of the way the artist contribute to trying to enlighten the people with a more old school way of art/modern.   To me this art brought my attention because of how well thought the art was, especially with the bicycle wheel because you can see a lot of thought was put into it and not just one of those random arts a person can make. The memory it brings me was when i was young I use to always ride my bike for hours and hours just cursing the streets of N.Y hanging out with friends and just having a great old time. I believe that when i analyzed this pieces of art I was never affected by the fact when it was made or by who , art should just be thought about more deeper and have a feel for it. But at the same time enjoy a persons way of thinking and how they try to make people enjoy their work.

THANK YOU AND ENJOY MY TOP PICKS.
