MODERNISM IN ARTS

I just read some poems that mostly are form the U.S and Europe. I definitely have to say that I had a rough time reading them; not just because I’m not into that poetry that much but because some were really difficult to understand. I literally had to find the meaning of every word so the poem could make sense to me. Seriously I know just like one or two words from Emily Dickinson’s poem. Although I disliked ones I liked others. My favorite was this one:

I have eaten

the plums

that were in

the icebox

and which

you were probably

saving

for breakfast

Forgive me

they were delicious

so sweet

and so cold

The poem is written literally with no metaphor or stuff like that. How funny it is that you can find really complex poems and poems like this one, very simple and understandable. Well, that’s my idea of the poem shown upside. Every one shows their feeling in a different way.

On the other hand, the music is incredible! I really love all the melodies. When I was a little girl my mom used to put me asleep with instrumental music like these ones. It was like a flashback from my infancy, which I liked. It is amazing how just a simple movement of an instrument makes you feel big emotions. It all depends on your attitude. I mean I could have hated the song if I were angry or sad. Even though I liked almost every one, there is an exception with 4^th of July from Charles Ives. I got scare and had to put it off. But in generally I feel pleasant with the music.

Since I love drawing I loved the paintings too. I like how every person expresses in his or her own unique form. I adore all the colors and the people drawn. I’m still confused in why a painting can be so expensive if it is just a bunch of lines without something clearly visible.
