Trip of Moma

Through the trip of Moma, we saw a lot of awesome abstract art work. In there all of the art work are around 1910s, in that time people first trying to find another type of art, it is the starting of abstraction. Abstract art is a kind of free art, artists using irregular or regular shapes,colors, lines, materials, and so on to describe their feeling , imagine and thinking. Sometimes people even don't know what it is, but they will get a feeling of it.Many years ago, when I saw abstract paintings, I think maybe those was drawing by children. However, that is the specific point of abstract art. It is not literal.

There are 3 works that I like:
 The first one is 'Gitterbild' made by Josef Albers, and the materials are glasses, iron latticwork and copper wire. He connected small square glasses by iron latticwork and copper wire. Each glass is different color,some of them are transparent and others are translucence.In the glasses, we can see many bubble, maybe because the technique in 1921 is not good enough.When light through the glasses, it is very beautiful, looks like church glass. Even though this art work is not big, it also obvious in many art works.

Second one is an oil painting on canvas,'In the hold' made by David Bomberg. The author used polygon combine some looks like regular but irregular shapes."I want to translate the life of a great city, its motion, its machinery, into an art that shall not be photographic, but expressive."said by Bomberg. Same as other abstract art works, we can't see how is the city look like, but we can feel its blue sky, sun set, street, and so on.

The last one is "Sun, Moon, Simultaneous". It is an oil painting by Robert Delaunay. I like its color, especially the part that the author mix some highly pure colors. His painting like a kind of imagine that see through a window. In my opinion, this art work is not totally abstract. I can see some part is the sun and the moon. And also something like trees, mountains, etc.
