millennium

The early 20th century is shown off in the Met's exhibit Impressionism, Fashion and Modernity and the Punk exhibition, curated by Andrew Bolton, recalls the end of the millennium and launches us into the contemporary age. Seeing both in one day allowed for high contrast and varied perspective. I loved going from the ephemeral and European grace in the Impressionism gallery to the harsh, gritty street style that reflected the Punk style. The Impressionism exhibit closes on the 27th so hurry over if you haven't gotten a chance! A poet was quoted on the wall in the exhibit saying the pieces depicted an "animating subject composed of a harmony of reflected and ever-changing lights...with movement, light and life."
