The Shadows Of The Past

Have you ever seen shadows lurking in the dark? Do these shadows scare or intrigue you?
Shadows

Andy Warhol has an exhibit that displays his artwork called Shadows. Of course, unlike the creepy shadow that you see on a dark night, the Shadows by Warhol are artistic. For the first time, all of the artwork is hung together at the Hirshhorn in Washington, D.C.  So, exactly how many Shadows are lurking around the Hirshhorn? There are 102 pieces or Shadows that are installed in the donut shaped museum until January 15, 2012.

B and I traveled to the gallery on Saturday to see the installation. B was not as impressed, but I found the two types of shadows that were repeatedly painted to be quite amazing. One word to describe it would be _______. How about you go see it yourself and fill in the blank for me!

What do you think of Warhol’s Shadows?

  1. I loved the exhibit! My word would be "evocative" since the shadows evoked a variety of reactions and interpretations.

  2. Rink,
    That is a word I did not think of, but perfect to describe the exhibit! Also, if you are interested in another visit to D.C., then check out this link! I heard the other day that there are actually two Warhol exhibits!
