Getty Museum

In my recent trip to The Getty Museum, I experienced a high taste in the arts and cultures.  I found the paintings very interesting, especially the European paintings.  I found a lot of similarities in the paintings, where I saw a lot of paintings of Jesus Christ and a lot of baby paintings.  

This first photo is  of Jesus Christ who is wounded in his side.  I find this interesting because this was painted in the 1500's and is so detailed.  One thing I wish I could know is how did the artist know how this happened and what to exactly paint.     

A more interesting part of the museum that I liked was the photography section.  It was something that I could relate to more, and I am more interested in the technology aspect of art.  The introduction of the camera to art, was a major stride in the arts and cultures.  This is a way that technology influenced the art in a positive way.  

 The cool thing about photography is that it is so easy and you can take a picture of anything and make it look really cool.  The picture on the left is titled "Two Forks Underwater" and simply is two forks underwater.  Another good feature of photography is the ability to capture photos in frames.  The picture on the right is the motion of a hammer striking a nail.  I like this picture mainly because it captures something that cannot be seen by the human eye, but only in still frames.

One of my favorite parts of the Museum was of course the view.  The view is a 360 degree view of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean, which is the most beautiful sight I have seen in LA.
