In November, I went on a trip to Philadelphia for college tours. Since I had some free time, I decided to go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I had been once before on last year's art spring break trip but this time they had a special exhibit on Mexican Modernism. I was instantly super excited to see this exhibit because I usually don't see foreign art trends very often. The collection of works was huge- it had everything from photographs to paintings and prints. I thought it was really interesting seeing how Mexican modernism is different from American modernism. There was so much variation even within the exhibit and it was fantastic. A lot of the art portrayed a lot of Mexican culture. I personally think Mexican modernist art does a better portrayal of this culture than American modernist art does of American culture. Either way, the works were beautiful and I'm really glad I got to see such a cool exhibition.
