The Futurist Manifesto raises a point to the way people live their lives in the world. The point that really made me think was that about museums. In school, from our parents, to our peers, etc, we are encouraged to go to museums. Museums are great, but at the same time I remember going when I was younger, feeling like I was being pulled into something I had to respect, almost like being at a funeral. Everyone around you is silent, serious, deep in though, looking for a deeper meaning in what lies before them even if it is a gigantic canvas with a simple black dot in the middle. “Wow what a statement”, people will whisper to each other. My first thought would be: “how is this art and why is it in this renowned museum”. I still kind of don’t understand this, but at the same time I think that art should push boundaries. If art didn’t push boundaries than it wouldn’t be real, everything is not a perfect little world, there for art shouldn’t. But then the world contradicts itself: Why in art history do we study art and learn how we are supposed to do things. The beauty in a piece of art is something that we are taught which doesn’t seem right.  Though I disagree the point the author makes about photography, I can see what he is getting at. A lot of times I will be walking somewhere and I will come across something so beautiful. But then I get stressed out because I don’t have my camera. Then I question if I should quickly go run inside to get my camera or if I should just admire it for its own beauty and leave it. Why not live in the moment and admire the beauty of what we see everyday?
