Word to yo MoMA!

The Museum of Modern Art, for those that don't know....

The MoMA is the perfect spot for a first date fellas, take notes (make her actually believe you know something). Or, if your like me, the MoMa is just a good spot to take yourself out on a date.
Oh ... and do yourself a favor, be sure to check out the cafe on the second floor.
As for the art, I had the pleasure of checking out two exhibits that covered key moments in the lifetimes of two prominent artist: Joan Miro and the legendary Van Gogh.

Peep science....

Joan Miro, set out to "assassinate painting" with the use of collage. Through innovation he revolutionized the use of the canvas, incorporating mediums such as aluminum, Card board, even Rope to name a few. His usage of color also put him ahead of his time. (Keep in mind, these works are from the early 1930's)

Van Gogh known for his unique use of lighting and brush strokes defined an era in Art history. In this exhibit they focus on his earlier works, giving an artistic depiction of the small town in which he lived. Moving on to later works, after being influenced by Japanese artist of the time, he started using brighter palattes giving birth to new peices that accentuated the sharp contrast of light and dark on canvas.
