Moon Sister Beads: Visit to Guggenheim!

Thankful to my friends who invited me to the museum of Guggenheim yesterday, being a day off for many! I have always thought that I loved anything but modern art,.. well... I guess, I am ready for it only now, and I am so happy, that I discovered Cubism in particular! Never I seen it represented in a grand way anywhere, even if I did, I had not paid attention to it... Seeing the paintings in person makes the whole lot of difference. These works are astonishing manifestation of the work of a human mind! Breaking down shapes into multiple planes... the whole idea of.. hmmm, I think it represents several things... the illusion of everything, the fact that everyone has their own world, and we see it only from our own perspective, so, there can't be a general picture - not visually, but in this case, the artists are, perhaps, showing the individuality of the world.. but more important, i think, is the fact, that in these works, mainly produced just prior and during the first world war. The world is broken, but it still holds the shape - as shown in every painting, how everything has been de-parted and put together again... this idea sort of represents how the society is torn apart by war, and then, it is still there, but re-formed, changed... maybe I sound a little optimistic.. all this can mean that the world felt like it was falling apart, being disassembled. period. ;)

The whole exhibition was absolute enjoyment... If you in NYC, do treat yourself!

I think I forgot to mention, that paintings have this 3D effect? try to walk around the area - so cool! ;)
