Choice six: Visit an art gallery/museum or play mini-golf? - Which would you choose and why?
As for MALBA, I confess that at first I didn't even know it existed. It was after exploring the city a bit, that I stumbled upon this beautiful facility. It was really captivating and challenging to observe the works exhibited there. Take a look yourself.
Abaporu
by one the leading forces of Brazilian Modernism, Tarsila do Amaral.I really felt comfortable with the whole place because of its clear modern imprint and the receptiveness of its workers.
It is also worth mentioning that there was a nice variety of games, books, replicas of paintings for sale. Everything was just right to have an enriching experience, which I would recommend to anyone visiting the Argentine capital.
On the other hand, I also went to the National Fine Arts Museum, as I said at the beginning. I found this visit much more romantic. If I was captivated before, here I was enchanted by an endless number of magnificent works of all authors and periods.
In fact, to my pleasant surprise I was able to stand in front of a Gauguin, probably my favorite French painter. The woman by the sea made me remember how much I miss the sea and all the lifestyle that goes with it.
I could also appreciate a great religious charge in the museum. Although I did not write down the names of the authors, I was left with the strong impression of living, at least for an instant, the different ecclesiastical messages that they expressed in oil.
El retorno del Malón by Ángel Della Valle was another painting that left me speechless. The photo I took of it does not do justice to the strength contained in this work, a great reflection of the ups and downs that characterized the beginnings of modern societies in Latin America.
Visiting an art museum is an experience that always fills me with happiness, amazement and intrigue. In other words, the human creative capacity feeds my will to live as very few things do, and undoubtedly inspires me to continue making art on my own.
