My visit to the new museum was inspriing. Being a photographer myself, my favorite exhibit was the collection of photography by David Goldblatt. His style is simplistic and uncluttered. It provides a lot of information without jumping off the wall with attention grabbing imagery. It was interesting to see the contrast between his early work featured in black and white compared to his recent work in large scale color prints. I also enjoyed the exhibit by Emory Douglas for his edgy and radical style. It was interesting to see the original artwork featured in newspapers and various other media with such strong political messages. This raw, in your face style is an inspiration to me, but it must have obviously been the same for the entire nation for political and equality reasons, my reasons revolve around wanting to be more radical myself.
