Color is a beacon of spring, bringing with it a hope among city-dwellers that the skyscrapers won’t be silhouetted against gray skies anymore, and the neighborhood park will soon be full of tiny pink and blue blossoms.
The Museum of Modern Art is currently hosting the exhibit Color Chart: Reinventing Color, 1950 to Today. Featuring the transformation of the usage and myths surrounding color in Renaissance works and where art has gone since then, it’s a great way to understand the dynamics of color through the eyes of the artist. The show’s description reads, “Color Chart celebrates a paradox: the lush beauty that results when contemporary artists assign color decisions to chance, readymade source, or arbitrary system.”
In addition to the exhibit, the museum will also be offering special lectures and discussions in relation to the works in the show. So, grab your Explorer Pass and head on over to the Museum of Modern Art to experience the wonders of color.
