Chaos meets beauty in an eruption of calming colors. No other painting help you better understand this balance. #VanGogh #Art140
If you haven't heard the Museum of Modern Art is revolutionizing the way we talk about art with their new project entitled Art140. On their website, you will find 6 images of famous works of art including Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klumt andUmberto Boccioni. They then challenge you to do what you do best, tweet about them. It's time to start a conversation about art. MoMA and the rest of the art community want to know what you think, what you really think, about the artwork that is being talked about and created. What, in your eyes, is beautiful? What is not? Does it show you a deeper meaning to life or does it simply make you laugh at the idea that time and money was wasted to create it?
This idea is not new. We have been tweeting and posting our thoughts online for years now, but MoMA has given us a challenge. Take a few minutes out of your lives and tell us what you think. That video you are about to watch for the hundredth time featuring a cat jumping into a cardboard box will still be there when you are done. Let's start a conversation, a real conversation about art!
Once a day for the next few weeks, I am going to take up the challenge and tweet about what I feel when I look at art. Will you?
