I particularly loved this sculpture because it was so real. This walk through of this artist had hyper-realist art. The reason why this is hyper-realist is because when you walk up to the art it is exactly like a human. You can see everything possible that is on a human. For instance you can we the calluses on the bottom of the ladies foot. You can see the slight veins that are right under the surface of the skin on the face. Every single detail on a human is perfectly captured which is really stunning. I remember walking through here in complete awe of how awesome it was. I mean you have to have some serious skills to do something this perfect. Absolutely loved it and totally worth my time.

Honestly I really don't like this type of art. Some surrealist art is pretty cool but as for this type I don't really like it. This painting caused me to feel a conflicting clash of different emotions and ideas. What I did like about this however was that it was by Kandinsky which is who we have been studying. And so it is so cool whenever you can learn about something in school and then go out and actually see that person's work. It makes learning more real and personal. Not only did I get to see this painting from someone we studied but I also got to see many other people and their art work. I really appreciate the experience being able to have that opportunity. Lastly I choose to post this specific piece to represent all the artist that I have been studying and got to see their artwork.
