The title of the artwork is called, Dos Mujeres and it is in the Winthrop Rockefeller Gallery in the Arkansas Arts Center. I made a visit to this museum on October 20th. This gallery is towards the very back of the museum. I didn’t like standing in one spot for too long when I first got to the museum. I wanted to take a good look at a piece of art I was interested in. At the beginning of the visit of the museum I really just moved along through the first few galleries because I wasn’t that much interested in them. I really like the paintings and portraits toward the end of the museum. According to the website, the works and artists chosen for this specific gallery for its Modern and Contemporary collection. The theme is directed towards the history of American and European modern and contemporary art created within the past century. …show more content…
I chose this piece because in a way it was different than the others. Cubism has always intrigued me ever since I saw it at the beginning of the semester. The rest of the gallery were reactions to cubism and other types of trends. The gallery setting for the works of art had a dim and direct lighting centering each of the artworks. The works of art were displayed accordingly and has a fair amount of space between each piece. A viewer could move through the exhibit either from one of two sides. I found this gallery coming from the east side of the museum. I came to find this artwork on a white wall and it was on the wall by itself. The painting had a black borderline around it’s surface. The pieces in this gallery and throughout the museum had white pieces of paper to explain the title, artist, medium and etc. matching each painting either on the left or right
