For the trip, a group of us decided to go to the Whitney together. Thank goodness for Khadijah; without her, we would not have made it there. It was raining a little, but my rain jacket could have doubled as a trench coat, so I was fine. Once we got there, I bought an overpriced cinnamon bun. So not worth it. On the other hand, the art was amazing.
I was able to see some of Edward Hooper’s paintings in person! It was so cool, since his work is an inspiration for my own. They also featured pieces by other famous artists, such as Keith Haring and Basquiat. Those paintings were alright, nothing too crazy.
My favorite paintings displayed were actually from artists whose names I can’t remember. I have them attached below. I loved how visually overstimulating these artworks are. They also transported me into the world of the painter. In my opinion, fame doesn’t make an art piece great. Rather, it is the authenticity of a painter and connection to their work, that makes a painting unforgettable.
We all got tiny art prints from a vending machine on the first floor when we were done looking around. After that, we got Korean food, which was absolutely worth it. I got the teriyaki chicken bowl, and it was bomb.
