Art-chitecture
The Guggenheim Museum is quite possibly one of the best architectural structures in all of New York. The way that it is set up allows us to see the art without interruption. Each floor spirals into the next and all the walls are lined with art. One might say that the real art is the museum itself. Picasso Black and White was the first exhibit we saw and from their we entered a world of abstract human bodies. All over there were paintings called "Woman Lying Down" or "Woman Standing Up" that looked more like demons after a really bad surgical procedure. I don't really understand abstract images of the human body. They don't look nice and if someone portrayed me that way I would have a heart attack. Although, I can't enjoy it, I can appreciate the work that the artists put into it and the idea that we need to rethink our definition of beauty. It still looks ugly to me though.
