Still Life

What makes New York New York in Art?  First of all, New York City gives opportunities to find ethnicity. New York City is the "melting pot" where people from different country come here. Therefore, we learn what their cultures are.

Artists express their emotions through paintings and drawings. For instance, the exhibition of 9/11 at Laguardia Community College shows how artists visualize what happened at 9/11. Their paintings show how sad these artists feel like this picture for example. "Sad", "Bomb" and "Dead" are some of the texts we can find in this artwork.



According to the MoMA PS1 home page " The attacks of September 11, 2001 were among the most pictured disasters in history, yet they remain, a decade later, underrepresented in cultural discourse—particularly within the realm of contemporary art. Responding to these conditions, MoMA PS1 curator Peter Eleey brings together more than 70 works by 41 artists—many made prior to 9/11"
