One of my first memory is when I first came to the USA. It was a dream come through because I always wanted to go to the us. It was in January 2013 right in the middle of winter. Before the plane land, the pilot says it was -6 degrees I do not know how cold that was until the taxi I took drop me to the place where I was supposed to go. I waited in the cold for my friend but she never show up after 15 minutes I couldn't feel my hand so I decided to look for a hotel and try to reach my friend the day after. I took my bag in the cold but after a 3-minute walking I couldn't anymore I thru my baggage and when I was about to give up I saw a taxi. I wave at the drive and he told me to come I put my baggage in the truck and tell him I was looking for an affordable hotel to spend the night. He told me he will go get some food and we will go look for a hotel. When I get in the taxi the driver feels that I was freezing he pull up the heat and when I get back to my normal state I ask him if I can use his phone to call back my friend. And when I call my friend she told me to come back to her house that she was there so I ask the driver to drop me there and on our way there we saw my friend and I told the driver to stop she get in the car and we went to her house together.

For this week's assignment, i decide to talk about the photographer Zanelle Moholi. Zanelle Moholi is an amazing South African photographer and also an activist that try to tell stories from the picture she took. In most of her works, she tries to put light on subjects that are taboo or subject to controversy in her country. In Somnyama Ngonyama a series of pictures she did, on one of the portraits she wears bike tubes around her neck and head as a jewel but she is trying to talk about apartheid in South Africa where black people were just taken put bike tire around their neck and burn. Apartheid is a dark period of South African history where segregated and discriminated. A lot of color folks died during that time. And there are sensible subjects even in today's South Africa. But as a committed artist, these are The tough subject Zanelle Moholi cover on some of her artworks. Another hot t subject in South Africa but also in Africa is the treatment of gays and lesbians ther...

One of the paintings that I liked at the MoMA was gold Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol is the one the creator of the pop art movement. The reason I choose this painting is that it is more recent it’s up to date compared to other movements like renaissance or impressionism. And the painting is addressed to society it’s a self-portrait of Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe was a huge celebrity in the fifties.

After world war II since the European countries were ruined by the war, the united states economy was at it best we assisted to a boom of manufacturing, mass media, consumer society, and artist works are influenced by what they see in society and that what brings the pop art movement art for the population.
