The show featured at the Orange County Museum of Art was all about modern design. I’m a big fan of modern design, and it was really great to see how it all began. I’m interested in product design, therefore I really enjoyed the experimental but functional Eames chairs. I didn’t think much of the abstract paintings of various shapes and colors. While I understand the intent of creating an image that consists only of shapes and colors in order to create a specific mood or feeling, it didn’t do it for me. The photography from modern design was very inspirational. Even though coming from the 1950’s, modern design still stands as a model for contemporary design today. -Drue-Ann
California art according to the person who explain to us is a more calm and cheerful comparing to the artworks done at other places because of the weather. I think the person who was explaining to us did a wonderful job on trying to get us relate to time around 1950s to today. arts and sculptures back then were related to ipod today, sleek, simple, user friendly, easy to get. It was a really wonderful experience at Orange County Museum of Art, I will definitely go back and I recommend this place to everyone.
We are a group of Art students from the University of California Riverside who are attending a series of Art Galleries in several parts of Southern California. We have decided to use Blogger.com to post the pictures we take, and record our thoughts and opinions about the work we visit. You can find our critiques and thoughts on the work in the "comments" field, which appears below the pictures of the art.
