24:Visiting museums and walking around town

On our third day in New York, I got started walking in the city as usual. I went to the Frick Collection,Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Times Square, Bryant Park, and finally did some shopping at Whole Foods Market before returning to my room.

Book 147

The Machine (as seen at the end of the mechanical age)

K.G. Pontius Hulten

Museum of Modern Art 1968

This MoMA exhibition catalog actually has a hinged metal cover that is riveted through the pages. I’ve never seen anything quite like it, and I can’t help but wonder how it was done. It must have been quite an exhibition. With examples of “mechanical” art by de Chirico, Joseph Stella, Duchamp, Man Ray, Max Ernst, and many others, it manages to capture something of the zeitgeist of the mid-twentieth century.

Museum of Modern Art entry for Platoon (1986)

A Yale dropout who worked as a teacher in Saigon and later as a merchant seaman, Oliver Stone volunteered for infantry service during the Vietnam War. He was wounded in combat and earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. After the war, he studied filmmaking at New York University, where one of his instructors was Martin Scorsese, and eventually made his mark as a screenwriter, most notably on Midnight Express (Alan Parker, 1978), for which he won the Oscar for best adapted screenplay. These were the raw materials that went into the making of Platoon, Stone's fourth feature film and the one that elevated him to the first rank of filmmakers. Working from his own script, he told the story of the common American foot soldier in Vietnam, avoiding the larger geopolitical issues of the conflict to focus on what life was like for the war's hundreds of thousands of young "grunts." The film seesaws between the tedium of camp life's daily routine and the shock of sudden, vicious combat, and no other filmmaker has ever captured so viscerally the stark terror of such warfare. Platoon is often melodramatic, even pretentious—occasional traits of this filmmaker—yet here Stone earns the right to such extremes. Whatever the film may lack in narrative polish or psychological subtlety, it conveys the emotional truth of combat itself. It is a generous and openhearted film, one in which Stone keeps faith with his former comrades–in–arms by explaining without ever excusing, by forgiving without forgetting.

#Caturday :

Andrew Wyeth (PA, USA, 1917-2009)

Miss Olson, 1952

Tempera on panel

Private Collection, currently on display at Brandywine Museum of Art

“Four years after Andrew Wyeth made Christina Olson iconic in Christina's World (MOMA), he created this tender portrait of her. With extraordinary sensitivity to a seemingly straightforward subject—a woman and a cat in the corner of a worn room—he invites us to reflect on the stories this person and place could tell.”

Trip to the Met

Vanessa, illustration, shares her first Metropolitan Museum of Art visit with us. Highlighting works from Greek and Roman art and some original works of Pablo Picasso. #MarywoodArt #MET #museum

In my Art in the Modern Era class, I was presented with the opportunity of a day trip in New York in order to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I had never been to the Met before, and so it seemed like it would be something that not only would I enjoy, but also a trip that would allow me to experience a multitude of artworks in person. Initially, I was nervous after I made the decision to go,…
