Event 2 the Getty

The Getty museum is one of the most profound inspirational places, holding some memorable pieces of artistry I’ve had the privilege of viewing. Its’ displays of art are pivotal to the spectator viewing it and legendary in its message. Its’ location captures your attention and its uncluttered monochromatic exterior inspired me to visit. Conversely, the interior displayed a sundry of textures, colors and genres. They art was provocative in both vision and imagery suggesting to me that art has no boundaries.  It changed my perception of artistic standpoint can have unlimited expression. Full of elaborate masterpieces and complex works, the viewer is constantly stimulated.  To me the diversity the Getty has gives everyone an opportunity to decide what they like the best, letting their creative minds flowing.

I was drawn to the painting below because of its peaceful and tranquil appeal, reminding me of my own grandmother’s unstudied paintings.  They were extension of who she was and how she wanted to communicate her viewpoint, just as this artist has done.  Yet, there were other pieces that were characterized by bizarre ideas within an abstract result.  The longer I took the art in, the more it evolved for me.  What I have realized is that art is a broad definition and cannot be stereotyped.  It is as individual and varied at its creator.  Art can shout or it can whisper.  It can infuse passion, ignite anger or evoke happiness.
