The Austin Museum of Art
I went to the AMOA yesterday with a friend, Emily. This museum is a nice mix of modern and classical art. It includes an evolving mishmash of contemporary art, upstairs. The picture shown is part of the contemporary art display. I didn’t capture the artist’s name, but I wanted to capture the grandiose nature of this work of art.
If you’re in Austin and downtown, drop in and see the Museum. It’s only $5 for visitors, and cheaper students, children and senior citizens. Members get in free.

I am not being critical, but I don’t understand some contemporary art. For example, I saw the ones with the blank canvas, that artist wasnt even the first to think of that. The big wall thing is kinda cool just because it is big, but it looks kinda like hobby work. Again I am not being critical, just I wouldnt call it an inspiring work of Art.

You’re preaching to the choir–That’s why I took a picture of that blank white art. I thought it was funny when Emily was looking at it to take a picture of it.
I don’t understand some contemporary art either. Unless you know a bit about the artist, where they’re coming from, and can somehow infer what the symbolic representation might be–its meaningless.
