I was surprised to see how many reapropiations where they on starry night. It&#8217;s crazy to think how when Van Gogh painted this it was considered a really weird painting, but now it is totally main steam and people gather around in big groups taking pictures around it just to admire its beauty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-393 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-09-at-8.14.22-PM-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"photo of starry night\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-09-at-8.14.22-PM-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-09-at-8.14.22-PM-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-09-at-8.14.22-PM-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-09-at-8.14.22-PM.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>I don&#8217;t believe the impact of the original piece of art changes because of it&#8217;s adaptations, but I do believe that both Starry night other Van Gogh&#8217;s pieces are perceived as more valuable because of these merchandise. I&#8217;m not saying that the works by themselves are not worthy of the fame they got, but they are definitively more known and have a bigger reach than if the pieces of art were by themselves in the museum. I can relate it to the Jordan sneakers, even tough Jordan was an incredible player, I believe that the Jordan sneakers multiplied his reach at least a 3x . It&#8217;s like the people can have a little piece of the person they admire. You could be a Lebron fan ,but I haven&#8217;t heard anyone complain about how someone stepped on their LeBrons compared to the Jordans.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-395\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/3-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/3-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/3-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/3-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/3.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-394 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/2-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/2-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/2-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/2-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/2.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-399 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/8-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/8-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/8-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/8-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/8.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>When I was walking around MoMA I saw a group of people around a tiny painting but I never imagined it would be The Persistence of Memory, I was surprised to see how tiny it was. On the images I&#8217;ve seen at class, it&#8217;s easy to look at all the details but when you are actually in person it&#8217;s kinda hard to appreciate the details, maybe because of the continous group of people around it or it&#8217;s size . But overall I would consider it is different feeling seeing it in person, when you see the texture, you can imagine the artist painting it, compared to when you see it in a picture or in these case a key chain or a vest that just reminds you that piece of art.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-398\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/7-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/7-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/7-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/7-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/7.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-396\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/4-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"key chain\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/4-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/4-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/4-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/pentangelo26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/2026\/07\/4.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my trip to MoMA, before going inside the galleries to find the paintings, first I went to the gift shop in front of it to see what paintings I would be looking for.
