Four days in New York City and the most significant pictures I took were at the Museum of Modern Art*. What should we make of taking pictures of art? I certainly wasn’t the only one there snapping photos, but when I think about it, it’s kind of silly, right? When did looking at the painting/sculpture/drawing/installation just once become not enough? Now, we feel a need to take artful pictures of art, as if the meaningful experience of strolling through the museum just isn’t enough anymore. Before I give us all a headache from extreme eye-rolling, why don’t we just take a look at some of those fancy photos.

This is a sculpture by the Swiss artist, Alberto Giacometti. Fun fact: his face is on the 100 Swiss Franc note.
*I actually did manage to take a few more photos, which I will share with you later.
