On February 4th I visited the Bass Museum of Art which is located in Miami Beach, Florida, United States. The museum reopened in October 2017 after it was closed for restoration in 2015. The Bass Museum was founded in 1964 through a donation of a private collection by John and Johanna Bass to the city of Miami Beach. The museum is in a park where I had sometimes skated with my friends and I was always curious to go in and see it but I had never done so until today when I had to go for my class project.

The first room I visited was the one where the oil paintings were located, which caught my attention due to the brightness, notification and colors they had. There were other objects such as an Egyptian tomb, a knight on horseback and some masks which I noticed were very strange. The work that I liked most was 'The Coronation of the Virgin with Saints' by Sandro Botticelli but his real name was Alessandro de Mariano by Vanni Filipepi, an Italian painter born on 1 March 1445 and Domenico Bigordi known by the nickname Ghirlandaio , born in Florence, Italy, June 2, 1494. This work caught my attention because of what it means, the scene is divided into two separate parts. The lower part means when the first Christians were waiting for the imminent return of Christ and the upper part where the miracle occurs where we see the coronation of the virgin by God surrounded by cherubim, seraphim and angels. Cherubim and seraphim are angels who work together and under the immediate orders of God, serving as their advisors and managers of the greater and more important angels and other angels were responsible for conveying God's message to people. One of the works that caught my attention was also the Egyptian tomb. It caught my attention because it was something I had never seen before, it was from the 9th-6th century BC and we didn't know who the tomb was. From my point of view I could see that the tomb was made of wood and plaster and had colors which explained to me that in those days it was colored with nuts that crushed them by grabbing the dust and then gave it color. Wanting to explore more about this work of art, I learned that ancient Egyptian sarcophagi were the outer protective layer of a real mummy with several layers of coffins nestled inside. They were decorated with carvings with hieroglyphs and reliefs both internally and externally and ornate paintings. The materials used varied from stone to metal. The work I didn't like was 'Masques delaves'. These masks offer a similar exotic and mystical quality. These masks were made of wood, with more materials such as sunglasses sticks and sewing pins. These works were created by Pascale Marthine Tayou, born in Cameroon in 1966. The work did not catch my attention because from my point of view it is not something nice and takes me back to the times of black African slaves and Indians. The work on display was "Ponytails (2014)". The artist of this work is Mika Rottenberg born in Uruguay and raised in Israel. Ponytails mechanical work sets an eerie tone. A series of three braids shrink and slide, emerging through holes in the wall that are presumably where their owners hide. Their isolated and repetitive movements cause the gaze to focus on the banal, which would lead to an evaluation of everyday elements that would go unnoticed. Please note: this is just an example.
