Recently I was fortunate enough to be able and visit the di Rosa as field trip for our Creative Studies class. To give you more back round on the the di Rosa, its a museum that features art from the 1950's onward, mostly done by Northern California artists. When I first walked in, nothing at first caught my attention, no doubt the art-pieces were good, but it wasn't until the next room where the art started to interest me. Another thing about di Rosa- they don't have any labels saying who the artist is. This is something I really liked, because you judged or responded to the art on the artwork itself and didn't base your judgment on if someone famous did the piece
So as you can see with this art piece there's not a label. Going back to original train of thought from the first paragraph, I chose to show this art piece because I was drawn mostly to the photography in the museum, especially this piece taken at a 1980's punk show. I just really love the whole photo and how you can feel the grittyness of it, and because at the time it was taken it makes you feel like you are there experiencing it, or that you can really feel the energy from the piece. Most museums although still interesting seem to display only a limited amount and style of art. So I appreciate that the di Rosa featured all types of art, from artist's I may never have seen pieces from, who's work makes me think in different ways, instead of usually seeing just the same type of art over and over again. I look forward to going back !
