Night at the Museum

A piece that evoked strong emotion in me was “Nude” by Albert Sterner. The museum had a room dedicated to mostly nude portraits, and it created an incredibly interesting environment as you walked throughout the museum, especially because the previous room was mostly Renaissance era art. This piece stood out to me because of the simplistic way the woman is drawn. She feels very real, while being simply a sketch. Additionally, I feel like I can tell when an artist depicting women loves them or hates them, and through this artists work, you could feel the love he has for women, and for whatever woman he is choosing to depict through his sketch.
