On Friday, we spent the last hour of class at the Museum of Fine Arts, looking at a variety of photographic images. All of these images by a variety of artists stood united, connected wonderfully by the shows source: human life. The two rooms in which the show is hung, have different sections of related photography. The sections themselves related through the source, but each focused on a different aspect if humanity. The human figure, features, and fears were a few of the individual themes of the sections.
I loved this show. The variety of images kept me entertained and challenged my way of seeing the human body. Everything was interesting and I loved the themed sections to help further indicate the source. The curation helped pull this show to great heights.
The image that stopped me in my tracks was the image "Narragansett" by Arno Rafael Minkkinen. The beach-like image of close up boardwalk with the human opened wide behind it. It is unfortunitly not the easiest picture to explain. The body is behind the boardwalk, and prominent. My initial feeling was one of understanding. I read this person laying next to the boardwalk, seemingly in pain as a doormat. Walk all over him anytime he will take it. I unfortunitly have succumbed to being a doormat for many years of my life and no the feeling oh to well. My person identificaion with this piece really helped me to understand the entire show more.
I absolutely need to see this show again!
