National
Museum of the American Indian-February 2014
I would like to start my post by
this quote “I seek the power of the rock, the magic of the water, the religion
of the tree, the color of the wind, and the enigma of the horizon.” – George
Morrison wrote in 1987. I loved it! It was written beside one of Morrison’s
painting. I was deeply touched by these words which George Morrison used to
describe his painting. Actually, his exhibition Modern Spirit: The Art of George
Morrison, includes paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints. They
are amazing!!! This exhibition shows a little of the artist’s spiritual
thoughts and the mysteries of the Earth and its elements. I REALLY LOVED
MORRISON’S ART.
The Museum
itself is fantastic, too. Its exterior and interior architecture is huge and
wonderful. It is considered one of the greatest New York City landmarks.
Hundreds of people from all over the world visit the National Museum every
year. If you want to know more about his history go to http://nmai.si.edu/visit/newyork/architecture-history.
You will read a lot of interesting facts about it.
The exhibitions about the American
Indians are wonderful as well. The visitor make a journey through their history
and know more about their costumes, traditions, beliefs and how they live and
their origins. In one of the exhibition INFINITY
OF NATIONS, you will know a little about the Indians from the North, South
and Central America. A great historical collection
of objects collected, in fact, I don’t know how they could get such a huge
collections of precious Indians objects. I took some pictures of them to show
in my post and to keep in my memory and on my own this amazing and unforgettable
visit!!!
