New Britain Modern Art Museum


I the New Britain Modern Art Museum on Thursday May 3rd. It was very easy to find and I has a beatiful building on the outside. I was very amazed that it sat on the same street with a community surrounding it. There very nice house in the area. Any how when I got there the lady at the front desk told me that I couldn't take picture in and on the hall just in the art exhibit rooms and two of the room which I can't recall right now I couldn't take any pictures at all.

The piece that caught my eye was a mural that was on the second floor. It was very beatiful and had a lot of lively colors. The people in the piece looked like they were having alot of fun. The art really capture the essence of the whole piece. This piece what in Color and some section were redone in black and white.

Thomas Hart Benson Murals: The Art of the Life in America

Thomas Hart (1889-1975)

He painted The Art of the Life in America (1932) During the Great Depression
This was his second most complex project of his career.

This reminds me of the old movies call Gone with the Wind...
