I think that Christo and Jeanne-Claude's artwork of the "Umbrellas" was very creative. I'm not exactly sure what they were thinking when they created this work, but I have an idea. I think that they were thinking about the visual perception of art. What do people view art as, is the question they were thinking about? They then came up with an idea to spread umbrellas all over the world to prove that art could be more than just a painting or object in one place.
