I was at MOMA a few weeks ago. There was some awesome stuff there, including Van Gogh's Starry Night, and some Munch. They also had this amazing painting:
Then you go to the post-1930 floor and it's like artists just got lazy. Paint a canvas white and say the art is in the minute differences between brush strokes? Add a red stripe? Meh. If I could replicate it myself in <30 minutes, I'm not impressed.
A Starry Night looks a lot different in person than it does on screen in print. I didn't realize how much texture/depth it had. It's really something you have to see in person. I also remember seeing one of Dali's paintings and thinking how much smaller it was in person then I thought it would be. Can't remember which piece it was.
