505: Circa 1913

The Museum of Modern Art
14.04.23

This was one of my favourite exhibition in the MoMA, 505: Circa 1913. In this exhibition, you see various artists that uses colours to perceive an image into a different reality. There were many vibrant colours chosen in this exhibition that each artwork caught my eye. I was able to see the play around with light through the use of colour tones.

My favourite among this works is the “Mme Kupka among Verticals” by František Kupka. The technique of vertical painting strokes to create an illusion of the canvas being really long. I love the use of colour used to create a face that isn’t painted in detail, however, creates a beautiful ‘well-blended in’ look on the canvas.
