Art imitating life imitating art
This is an interesting shot I took when Robyn and I were at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. I don't usually like to take photos of art because it seems more documentary than anything else.In this case I thought the similarity between the subjects of the piece and the people in the background was worth capturing. I forget the name of the artist who created this sculpture but I wonder if he/she had in mind where it would be displayed.
I had to wait for a minute or two before people were walking in ways I thought would be good for the photo. Ideally I would have like the lighting to be a little better but light is pretty limited inside the museum.

I am not really an art-expert, I just know what I like.
I find it kind of humorous how the people are just wandering around like in the sculpture! I'm sure that the museum placed the piece there intentionally, at least.
I quite like the piece. Not the same old painting. You need to pose the people to match! The title just what I was thinking!
that's really cool! I also like how the people are wandering around like in the sculpture.
Thanks for the comments, there are a lot of great opportunities to catch people interacting with art at the museum.
Cool! Great find.
Nicely captured.
I can see why this one caught your eye. Nice one.
Thanks for the comments.
