Derain’s Turning Road and Benton’s Haystack After visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston for the first time‚ I observed many interesting works of art representing various time periods. Of all the paintings that I saw last week‚ two landscaped pieces seemed to stick out in my mind; Andre Derain’s The Turning Road and Thomas Hart Benton’s Haystack.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art‚ known to be a sanctuary for a great collection of art‚ was brimming with tourists and locals when I decided to visit with my friend and my mother.

Upon entering the Philadelphia Museum of Art‚ the immediate visual effect of the architecture and large columns peaked my interest‚ while shifting my view towards the seven different exhibits.
