Leonardo- Mona Lisa The Myth 500 Years
Leonardo Da Vinci is hulled one of the greatest minds and artist in all of history, from painting to inventions. This exhibition displayed some of his finest works along with his less known works and inventiions. Not only was his works in display but also some art work redone by other artist of his century and modern artist, using their very own unique style to portray Mona Lisa in a whole new perspective.
Going to the exhibition it allowed me to explore the beauty of Da Vincis mind and his artwork, as there is a huge difference between seeing one on the TV and one in person (although it is just a copy). I remember standing almost half an hour admiring his art work Leda and the Swan, as well as the Last Supper. There was more to admire such as the work of the human body, the geometry of it etc. Not only was Da Vinci an artist he was a scientist in some way, as it is said his human body drawing were accurate.
But the main part of the exhibition was the Mona Lisa's. First off we all know the original Mona Lisa, but here they portrayed all different styles from artist all around the world. Such art work include Mona Lisa portrayed erotically on a cover of an erotic magazine, her head replaced by a velociraptor , a montage of different colored Mon Lisa placed to make a collage and so on. Unfortunately no photos were allowed to be taken at the exhibition.
The Exhibition is a place to explore art and inventions, as well as for someone seeking inspiration, it is highly recommended to take a walk and explore Mona Lisa - The Myth 500 years in Taipei.
