Foreign Travel: San Francisco's "Museum of Modern Art" – a unique artistic charm
Located on the west coast of the United States, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, as its name suggests, is a collection of modernist art, especially by representative Western artists of the twentieth century, such as the Fauvist French painter Matisse, the Pop School american painters Andy, Warhol, and the Mexican female painter Fritan. Cajolo and more, I believe you will be fascinated by the unique artistic atmosphere here.
1. Get to know the Museum of Modern Art for the first time
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the building as its name suggests, but a little less solemn, more sensual. The most prominent feature of the museum is a tall cylindrical zebra pattern large skylight, very unique, but also unique, when the sun shines, the light can be directly from the top of the building to the bottom of the building, good lighting, but also very beautiful. The unusual shape not only highlights the artistic essence of San Francisco, but also becomes the goal of photography enthusiasts around the world.
According to legend, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art was created by the famous Swiss designer Mario. The modern building designed by Botha, the San Francisco government at that time allocated huge funds to build this museum, it can be said that a lot of manpower, material and financial resources were invested, so it is beyond reproach that the Museum of Modern Art can present this shocking feeling. The museum is not rigid at all, but it is very flexible, and it can be appreciated architecturally.
The entire building is paved with reddish-brown tiles, and there is a round tower with a huge skylight in front of it, which looks like it is like cutting the cylinder in the center of the building obliquely, and the black and white tones are only used in the cylinder part, emphasized by zebra stripes to make it more eye-catching. This perfectly symmetrical façade is full of the calm atmosphere that can only be seen in classical architecture, which is very beautiful. The museum is surrounded on three sides by high-rise buildings, but this does not affect its uniqueness in the slightest, but is more prominent in this gray-and-white complex.
At that time, people had a lot of controversy about the architecture here, because the building itself was very distinctive, but as a museum it was not appropriate, an architect said that the design was too gorgeous, but lost the authenticity of the museum, there was a little sense of domination, but many people thought that this was a classic of architectural history, because such modernity, the average person can not properly express it, only the museum of modern art has this feeling.
As the architecture shows, the frontier of modern art, the interior of the museum is also a treasure of modern art.
