Boston Galleries

I really enjoyed our class field trip today to the south end to visit different art galleries.  It was a great opportunity to explore galleries while also having the chance to meet with some of the owners.  Most of the gallery owners were friendly and asked where our group was coming from, and asked if we had any questions.  Having that one-on-one time was useful because we learned alot more about how the art is made and about the different artists.  My two favorite galleries were the OH & T Gallery, and the Howard Yezerski Gallery.  Both of those galleries had very different work from one another but were very amusing and appealing to me.  I also really liked some of the sculptures in the Boston Sculpture Gallery.  


One of the sculptures from the Boston Sculpture Gallery.  Little wooden people were placed on everyday household objects.


One of the pieces in the Howard Yezerski Gallery.  The other people I was with all through these paintings looked like cake frosting smeared onto canvas.  We were all very tempted to touch the paintings, and feel the texture.



 This is one of the walls in the Steven Zevitas gallery.  I thought this was a very cool arrangement because the whole wall was painted.  There was a painting hung on the wall that almost looks blended in with the wall painting.
