{Eliza darling, this one's for you}
I finally got to go to an art museum last week. As I said before all the museums in London
are free, which is incredibly nice and convenient. I went to the Tate Modern for class but
ventured back there on my own by the end of the week. The building used to be a power plant so it’s
very industrial and open inside. The
permanent art they have is expressionism, abstract expressionism, surrealism and
such. There’s Dali, Picasso, Pollock, and Warhols. It’s not my favorite kind of art to look at;
I’m more of an impressionism kind of girl, you know Degas, Monet, Renoir. But they had this one piece that was huge and
I immediately loved from far away. After I walked up to it I realized it was a
Monet, so no wonder I liked it. Why it was
in the abstract expressionism section I’m still not clear on. Either way walking around for a couple of hours there was refreshing and inspiring.
