"Take an Object" at MoMA-Various Artists' Works mid 1950's to early 1960's

"Take an Object" exhibit at the MoMA is an colorful collection of art (all owned by the MoMA) from an int'l group of artists whose work stretched beyond conventional trends and mediums.  Some of the featured artists are Rauschenberg, Johns, Bontecou and de Saint Phalle.  Rauschenberg is quoted "Take an object, do something to it.  Do something else to it. Repeat."  I found Lee Bountecou's welded steel, canvas with black fabric most fascinating for its futuristic feel and sense of timelessness.  This show is situated across from the Jackson Pollack exhibition 1934-1954 (also all in the MoMA's collection.)  Perhaps this collection revolutionized the emancipated approach to creating art that followed.  The Pollack's exhibit highlights "One" Number 31" (1950) arguably his masterpiece.  Pollack said "The modern artist is working with space and time and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating."  Take the time to walk through Pollack's exhibit followed by the multi artist show "Take an Object."
