In Parmigianino’s masterpiece Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror (1523), the artist does not merely picture himself painting his likeness from a mirror, he produces an object that masquerades as a mirror bearing his reflection. In the foreground, Parmigiano’s hand — seen creating this very painting — is colossal, steadying the surrounding room that tilts and curves as it enfolds him. Parmigianino’s painting insists on the artifice of all art, its reliance on illusion and distortion even in instances where fidelity to reality is the stated ambition and desired effect. As John Ashbery notes in his long poem about the painting, speculation comes from the Latin speculum, meaning mirror: even images that appear real and convincing are in fact phantasms produced by reflected light. Elli Antoniou, Élise Peroi, Marie Schumann, and Kristian Touborg can each be seen to respond to Parmigianino’s legacy, his entwining of sight and doubt, his exploration of the tensions between image and reality.

If you&rsquo;re running late and it&rsquo;s not a peak period, it&rsquo;s generally ok (although it&rsquo;s better not to), staff won&rsquo;t ask about the time you book the ticket, they&rsquo;ll just scan. All staff are super friendly and wishing you enjoy the experience. This is the most impressive thing in New York. The Ferries also take you to Elis Island but be sure to check the last round to Elis, otherwise you&rsquo;d have to go back to New York directly. The ticket isn&rsquo;t include getting to the top at the crown. For that, it&rsquo;s free and you have to book kinda few weeks in advance. For me it&rsquo;s not needed, be there on the island and close to the statue is already awesome experiences.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a very rich collection, and our guide, Zhou, was very professional. With his explanations, we learned a lot along the way. It was a very worthwhile trip and I highly recommend it.

Historic landmark

As a classic must-see attraction for first-time visitors to New York, and a filming location for many famous movies, the rooftop offers a panoramic view of Manhattan. The grid-like streets are even more clearly visible, and the vast Central Park appears dwarfed. Highly recommended! 👍

Central Park

iQOO🐮

Jogging along the long paths of Central Park, every step feels like stepping to the city&#39;s rhythm. A boy plays guitar by the Bethesda Fountain, the melody of &quot;Imagine&quot; flowing from the strings, blending wonderfully with the clatter of horse-drawn carriages. In front of the star-shaped mosaic at Strawberry Fields, someone always leaves behind a dew-kissed rose, the air filled with the scent of onion hot dogs and fresh grass. My favorite spot is the skating rink near Bow Bridge, watching beginners tumble and fall like snowballs, while the skyline silhouettes silently behind the treetops&mdash;in this steel jungle, there lies a heart-warming oasis.

The Museum of Modern Art

Upon first seeing the original &quot;Starry Night&quot; on the fifth floor of MoMA, Van Gogh&#39;s swirling eddies were more turbulent than I had imagined; I could almost hear the paint roaring across the canvas. Passing through the installation art area, I was engulfed by Yayoi Kusama&#39;s Infinity Mirror Room&mdash;millions of my own reflections floated and sank in points of light, instantly disorienting me. In the contemporary art gallery, Duchamp&#39;s urinal remained playfully placed, next to which lay apple cores left by visitors. Most movingly, in the rest area, I saw an elderly man with white hair copying Mondrian; his trembling brushstrokes held the lingering warmth of the 20th century.
