Lowe Art Museum

I attended the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami on October 11th, 2023, a Wednesday at 12:00 A.M. This Museum, although small, contained exhibits from numerous artists, styles, materials, and eras from all over the world. I had previously never been to a museum that was a part of a higher institution. For art students having easy access to it must be a more immersive experience to really learn about the history of the pieces it has. The area of the museum is a circular shape which was easy to follow, there was a small portion of the museum that was closed which was probably a part of their temporary exhibits.

What I was able to see was amazing. They have a nice variety of European, American, Asian, African, American Indian, and Italian Renaissance artwork. It has a diversity of artistic expression through the usage of different media such as glass, fiber, wood, iron, clay, stone, oil and acrylic paint. There were a multitude of well known artists like Andy Warhol, Kehinde Wiley, Frank Stella, Kaws, William Morris, and El Greco. The collection contains a captivating range of pieces that not only showcase current contemporary art but classical pieces that demonstrate art through history.

The usage of different shapes, colors, textures, and lines, along with size to create a multitude of narratives that ranged so vastly. I was able to see different cultures through things like masks, clothing, pottery, scrolls, and carvings on different materials all represented as art. It was an immersive experience that allowed me to see the beauty and gain a greater appreciation for the preservation and creation of what art can be considered as.

The paintings I selected to sketch were “Daloa, Cote d'Ivoire, 29th March 2011” by Aboudia Abdoulaye Diarrassouba and “Monk Ayko Meditating Waterfall” by Pat Steir. The first painting used acrylic and mixed media to depict what seems like troops holding rifles and other guns representing the Ivory Coast rebels. This painting demonstrates what feels like war and death. All of the faces in the painting seem like skulls to symbolize death and drips of paint throughout the painting symbolize terror. The colors used were mainly dark and neutral aside from the bright red and white that depicted the outline of the weapons. It creates the emotion of weariness and chaos. On the other hand, the waterfall captured what serenity looks like. The contrast of black and white is simple, yet effective. The strokes of white lines running down look like water and the splatter of paint as the water hits the rocks mimics realistically, how falling water responds when hit on a surface. This abstract piece emphasizes the beauty of nature and imitates the feeling of being at peace when seeing a waterfall.
