The Menil Collection Project

The Collection

The  Menil Collection was very peaceful. The architecture of the building was very unique. The color of the building highlight with white gives a heavenly feeling. The sunlight beaming in from the sunroof was also very relaxing. The floors in the museum were wooden. The floor air vents were also plated with wood match the flooring.This museum is different from other museums because the it uses space to compliment the art. I honestly believe the Renzo Piano wanted the visitors to feel relaxed before entering the museum. The building structure and landscaping is very heavenly in my opinion.

Style:Surrealism
Technique:oil

I was very impressed with how the colors popped out in this painting.This portrait is abstract. I believe the role of this piece is to force us to use our imagination. It's obvious that the main focus is art and painting but it's hard to determine what is actually painting in the portrait.  It's very surreal. I don't think the portrait has a specific culture. I think it represents Art as a whole.
