Picasso and American Art
Today I went to the Whitney Museum with a few people from my floor to the Picasso and American Art exhibit at the Whitney Museum up at 75th street. The exhibit was probably 1/3 Picasso pieces and the other 2/3 was made up of nine different American artist who had been greatly influenced by Picasso. The exhibit was pretty interesting, I especially liked the Stuart Davis pieces and the Lichtenstein ones. It was pretty refreshing seeing a collection of American artists after spending a semester studying British artists. Not that anything was wrong with the British artists, I’m just a little tired of Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud’s depressing-ness.
