Rome - Schifano

Scoped out the Museum of Modern Art whilst I was in Rome. Free entry for students! The gallery just had one big exhibition on Mario Schifano. I had never heard of him so was apprehensive, but I enjoyed his art a lot. His works are very large and mainly mixed media - paint on cardboard, collages, acrylic (plastic) etc. Schifano was also a film maker and typographer. I enjoy 'NO' a lot, big, red and angry. The typography in 'Machine' is great and works well on the creamy substrate and in contrast with the black shoe. The other one below (don't know what it's called) just looks like a giant 'A' and just I like it, purely for aesthetics, as with most art. The gallery also had some classic pieces of modern art, like a cool Mondrian I hadn't seen before, a Pollock and a glass cabinet full of Duchamp (shit).
