Topic 10. At the Museum

- Good morning. One ticket for the Modern Art Exhibition, please. Thank you. Oh, hello Kate! How are you? What are you doing here?

- The same thing as you: I’m going to see this art exhibition. I’ve heard it’s very interesting.

- Let’s go there together then. I’m glad I’ve met you. I don’t like visiting such places alone.

- Nor do I, Peter.

- Which art movements do you like?

- I love impressionistic paintings and realistic, classical art as well. And you?

- I’m interested in abstract art like, for example, Pablo Picasso’s cubist paintings. Who is your favourite painter?

- I think van Gogh, or maybe Gauguin. But I also admire Rembrandt…I couldn’t say who I like most.

- That’s true. It’s very difficult to classify them if each of them was genius. Oh, look there’s my favourite Picasso painting!

- Which one?

- The one on the left.

- I see. What’s the title?

- “A Child with a Dove. Look at the colours and form. Picasso uses varying shades of blue and green.

- Oh I love it! In fact it is full of emotion. I wonder who this painting belongs to.

- It probably comes from a private collection. These days most famous pictures are in the hands of private collectors.

- Well, I love this exhibition. There are plenty of modern art works: impressionistic and abstract painting. You can find something for yourself and I can admire styles of art that I like. Let’s go to the next room.
