Never before have I ever been to an art gallery. This was an amazing experience and has forever since changed the way I view art and going to galleries. I am going on a trip during the summer with my family and I am going to take them all to an art gallery .
A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?
Honore Daumier French 1808-1879 this painting says a lot to me and makes the biggest impression for the struggle of life. Motherhood struggle of life carrying laundry and helping child up the stairs. Struggles began long before we even realized.
Frantisek - Czeck Traits, plans, profounder (lines, Planes, Depth)
Even though looking at this piece it doesn't really represent any one thing to the naked eye to me it represents a butterfly trying to get away from some sort of snake or killer centipede. It stated he began to draw figures that bordered on the non-representational. Represent with energy. growth and movement. Energy of the butterfly taken from a grown of the snake or killer centipede with in the movement of the painting. This is a first initial thought when seeing the actual painting.
B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?
Ernst Barlach Der Racher German 1870-1939 representation of myself. man always in motion working trying to provider for my family. This also reminds me of learning the stages of art where motion can be shown in a stand still figure.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner German
Frauebildnis Portrait of a Woman 1911
This oil painting brought me back to my grandmother when I was a boy. She use to where the big hats with the full length skirts and it really was personable to me seeing as though this was a painting of color that represents the beauty of a woman
C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?
Mickalene Thomas Interior Monet's Blue Foyer 2012
The detail and time it must have taken for this artwork....all the individual rhinestones that were placed throughout this piece. Where was this inspired from. The different formats of flooring and texture of the actual piece differences in room that are placed. This was amazing. I would enjoy picking the mind of the Mickalene on this one. I stared at this one the longest. The picture does NOT do this artwork justice at all with showing detail and focus

View of the Albright Art Gallery This picture piece came to life as walking through the actual art gallery. Stepping back almost 100 years in the making. 3D picture taken turning around in a view had to look twice to understand the material presented.
The art work you choose to include in your project is great. It's nice that you got to experience an Art gallery for the first time and really analyze the artwork. I really liked the painting you choose Frantisek - Czeck Traits, plans, profounder (lines, Planes, Depth) because I love abstract art.
ReplyDeleteI can see you're a huge family persona and have had your own ups and downs in life but continue to keep working hard. I think its great you were able to connect the art work you looked at to your own life.
