I went to the Royal Academy of Arts today and it was filled with modern art. This building is also referred to as the Royal Academy of Music. I did not see any music, but free concerts occur there often. The exhibits were my favorite part and the people in charge of them must have expurgated the artwork because it all seemed appropriate for children. Most of the museums I have been to only display historic or famous artwork. I love those paintings, but it was nice to see modern art with all the neon colors, different sculptures and connected items which represent one idea.
The building is three floors tall. The first is only a restaurant, toilets and an information desk. The second floor has all the modern art with many rooms filled to capacity, with so many fascinating different colors and unique ideas. For example, a large paper towel was squeezed so that its shadow created a bird. An eminent, green, stone sculpture of a horse stood proudly in the center of one room. One of the painters used oil on canvas with a bright blue swirls and yellow spots on a black background. Another room had large faces with expressions of altruism on a wall. The pictures looked like blown up photographs, but close-up, cut-up strips of paper formed faces, including two of women and one of a lion.
My favorite painting there is “Misty Landscape.” This painting looked like eleven photographs had been placed over a red background with flowers on it. The closer you get to the picture, the more it begins to turn into a painting. The landscapes were of mountain peaks going through the clouds. Another one of the photos showed a small pond at the bottom of a mountain with a cabin on the water.
Today was great and if you are visiting and want to see something different than the historic art that you’ve seen so much, check out the Royal Academy of Arts. Check in tomorrow and write me a post.
