I really enjoyed the tripyesterday!
When I was little, I went to the Neue, but I was too young to go in. On Friday, I was curious again to what the upstairs would be like, and now I know.
I liked most of the art that I saw in both of the museums. I found myself spending more time at the more abstract pieces, than the more traditional art.

The show we went to, A Brief Encounter, had neat effects. I found it fascinating when an actor went behind the screen, then "appeared" on the screen. However, I didn't find the ending impressive. It felt like it was the intermission, that it left parts of the plot hanging. I read the program, and I think the ending was supposed to stop there, since the audience was supposed to understand that even though the doctor and the woman were separated, they were glad they had met each other for that short period of time. However, I didn't feel that way when it ended. It was more along the lines of "Oh what? It's the end?"

Today my dad and I went to the Moma since my dad had managed to get two free tickets! The matisse exhibit that was there when STAC visited wasn't there anymore, but another one (called On Line) was there instead. It looked interesting, so my dad and I took a look around.

The exhibit was all about lines and the different ways artist used them. I enjoyed looking at that exhibit. This one piece (which I forgot to write down who the artist was) reminded me a little of what we did in earlier in STAC. It showed a few pictures of a person (a dancer, I believe) and then the artist simplified the person's figure down to a few lines.

A funny thing was, that the art there was so abstract, that I saw an emergency exit sign and I was wondering if it was supposed to be part of the exhibit!
