The Museum of Modern Art is home to over 200,000 artworks, comprised of painting and sculpture, drawings and prints, photography, architecture, design, media and performance.
Our goal is to introduce you to as many artists and artworks of our time as possible to make the case-as the Museum’s founders believed in 1929-that the art of our time rivals in its greatness to that of any previous era.

Wonderful to see your practical and creative process - the way you explained about other artists and their influence was very interesting and unpretentious. Thank you!
Scientists are astonished at Van Gogh's deep and intuitive understanding of natural phenomena. His precise representation of turbulence might be from studying the movement of clouds and the atmosphere or an innate sense of how to capture the dynamism of the sky.
In 1845 William Parsons (also known as Lord Rosse) made the first drawing of M51, the famous "Whirlpool Galaxy". He was using the world's largest telescope "The 72 inch Leviathan of Parsonstown". (M51 is actually 2 galaxies colliding.) When you compare Parsons' drawing to Vincent's "Whirlpool" you can easily see that Van Goch was using it as inspiration for the painting "Starry Night". Don't take my word for it...just look up "The first drawing of M51". (Artistic people talk an awful lot of Twaddle.)
I saw this in Scotland two years ago, and it was such a great immersive experience - completely changed how I thought about converting history into contemporary media
@juliakunin1437 i love how free you are and dont follow a lot of the 'rules' we learn as beginners. It makes me feel i can be more free with how i approach my work
This is so cool and I love her vibe!! I like how she needed to take her clothes off to feel out the harness 😁 Maybe we're kindred spirits because I have a similar kinetic work I felt the sudden strong urge to do years ago. "Kinetic Drawing #6 on my channel.
I dont know if there was another movie which I watched as a teenager and never ever watched again although I loved it. Maybe it's because some parts of the movie became real to me.
Easy one. Because it's not art. It's craft. It is also a waste of natural resources. Understand? Sewing stuffed animals together around an aerosol emitter, is not art - particularly since they are made of components the crafter did not make themself. It's sewing stuffed animals together around an aerosol emitter and that's all it is. The rest is word salad BS. It's amazing what talentless, meaningless and ability-free garbage passes for "art" now.
Art is the ability to create what the mind sees. Do you study art? I’m an art student and becoming a art teacher and I really love what I see. Very fascinating.
Art is a craft. The concept of art your referencing was created in the XVIII century to differentiate aristocratic productions from peasant/"primitive" ones and thus deprive people from humanity, as they were only seen as monkeys that were trained to copy. It doesn't sustain itself materially nor philosophically. Actually, CRAFT (in the traditional sense) is the form of production that always prioritized ability, art is purely intelectual. If you want to see "talent" and "ability" just ask a machine to carve a perfect Michelangelo's Pietá. Now about "meaningless"... art/life is meaningless lmfao everything we do is literally attach meaning to inanimate objects.
Are the vapors putting extra stress/ageing on the stuffed animals? Cleaning agent can be quite aggressive. It also makes me wonder about the paintings in the adjacent rooms ... How does the museum deal with that?
They took years to figure that out even though it was embedded in all these works of Kelley from this period as they were made with toys used by children!! Congratulations on the curators to finally evoke the senses with 50 years delay!
