Gallery of Modern Art.

We went to a modern art Museum. I'm not really a fan of most Modern Art. However, in this museum, "Modern" starts with the Unification of Italy in 1861. Which made it a little better.

Don't know what this is but it was cool.

The mirror floor with statues was awesome.

Immigrants leaving Italy.
Lots of people shown in their traditional dress.

Miners carrying one of their fallen co-workers.
The title is "The Victims of Work"

One of the wars for a unified Italy.

And again.

And another. This one depicting a sense of defeat.

One of the Generals dying.

Some of Garibaldi's Soldiers.

Woman dressed in a fancy style.

An artist that would
later radically change styles.

This is by the same artist as above.

Pictures depicting the "glory" of Fascism.

Mussolini at the top is depicted almost like a deity.

Van Gogh.

Creepy little kid carved from wax.

And an old lady also carved from wax.

Uhh yeah this is where modern art and I split ways.

ooooh metal.

Burned see-through plastic.

So this is supposed to look
like the earth. It's not too bad.

This one wasn't terrible either.

Burlap sacks.

I do actually like things with strong classical references.

Hercules literally, "killing the messenger."

6 of the twelve Olympian gods

And the other 6.

This was cool, but I'm not sure what
it is because it wasn't on the exam.
