Visit to the SFMOMA

I had the privileged opportunity to spend my spring break this year in San Francisco among like-minded people who were interested in visiting San Fran’s Museum of Modern Art. Having been in this class for half a semester, it was a dream come true! There was an entire gallery devoted to John Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, whose pieces seemed to be in conversation with each other. I was very excited to recognize their names and the significance of their work in the same room.

Another dynamic exhibit was the Picasso exhibit, which featured Picasso works alongside works by other artists that were inspired by Picasso. The resemblance between the original Picasso piece and the work that imitated or developed a technique or motif was striking! Picasso’s influence on other modern artists cannot be overstated.
