Tate Modern visit.

Today we had to visit the Tate Modern to help us with get information for our essays that we have to write and compare two artists on. There were many interesting sculptures and paintings in the tate but one that stood out the most in particular was Pinot Gallizio's Industrial painting 1958. His work challenged capitalisms commodification of daily life. The paint was applied onto long rolls of canvas by using low tech painting machines so the product was mass produced but also unique. He would later on cut them into sections to be sold. He is in a way mocking the industry and their high tech machines by showing them that he can make just as much money by making something with a lot less money. And lets be honest it's not really a "Magnificent" piece of art, it looks like an ink failure in a printer, but it is still very interesting.
