Essay / Personal Narrative Essay: My Trip to the Getty Museum
As I walked in and looked around, I noticed how big it was and how many people there were. There was not only amazing artwork, but also great views of Los Angeles, which I also found very impressive. The artwork that caught my eye was the oil painting Sunrise c. 1873. To its left was the portal of Rouen Cathedral in the morning light c. 1894 and to the right was Still Life with Flowers and Fruit c. 1869. I was able to associate it with the sea subject of Monet's Sunrise, Hokouasi's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji c. 1826-1833. The museum was a really fun experience and finding a piece of art from our class readings made the experience much more rewarding because I was able to take what I had learned in class and apply it outside.
