UMMA Art Pick: Comments 36

My favorite work of art is # 36 Basilica do Palacio Nacional de Mafra. This piece of work struck a chord with me because of the beautiful architectural lines used in the chapel. This chapel is truly beautiful and hopefully I'll get a chance to visit it one day.

The detail of the architecture in this Portugese palace is amazing. I like old buildings because of the history and symbollism that went into making them. I really like the round arches in the ceiling and in the walk-ways on each side. I am excited about the reopening of the University of Michigan Museum of Art because I love self expresssion and pieces of art that have deeper meaning.

Monumental size and attention to detail make this piece my favorite artwork.

My choice is not meant to judge the UM collection; just to show my appreciation of Candida Hofer's photography.
