Even-though this wasn't my first time visiting The Brooklyn Museum it was a pleasant experience. Compare to the Sculpture Center which was much smaller with less exhibits, The Brooklyn Museum is much bigger with many different exhibits from around the world. While there we visited three special exhibitions."Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties", "Sanford Biggers: Sweet Funk-An Introspective" and " Timothy Greenfield Sanders: The Latino List" each dealt with the issue of identity.
"Sanford Biggers: Sweet Funk-An Introspective" was the first exhibit that we visit. One of Sanford Biggers work that stood out to me was Blossom it was a tall tree that had a piano in it. For me the music that the piano was playing represent the struggle that African American during the time of lynching. The second exhibit was "Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties". This exhibit represented the change after the Great War. One piece of work that stood out to me was Amazon it showed when women really portrayed glamours. I think this exhibit can relate to almost every woman today because this is what most women strive for everyday."The Latino List" exhibits shows the importance of Latin American figure, and how they came along way. In the portrait of Jose Moreno Hernandez who was a former NASA that represents that young Latinos man/woman can become anything they want.
I really enjoyed these exhibits because I felt that I can relate to all three exhibition. I would consider going back to see these exhibits again.
