-Francis Celentano's Gamma, was created in 1970. It is an acrylic on canvas. This artwork made an impact/impression on me because it catches my attention. I feel as if I could look at it all day. It reminds me of a sunny and relaxing day. It also looked to me as if it was an illusion, due to the way the colors were set up.
-Camille Pissarro's Peasants in the Fields, Eragny was created in 1890. It is an oil on canvas. I really like the way Pissarro used optical color mixture. This use of color really interests me because it looks beautiful and really creative.
The two artworks that I felt a connection with:
-Giacomo Balla's Dinamismo di un cane al Guinzaglio (Dynamism of a dog on a leash), was created in 1912. It is an oil on canvas. I made a connection with the artwork because of the dog. The dog shown looks rambunctious and hyper, which is exactly how my dog acts, especially when on a leash. It looks like the dog is on the go, ready to take off. My dog often takes off when he's on a leash.
-Lee Bontecou's Untitled was created in 1960. It is welded steel, canvas, and wire. Through my eyes, it looks as if the work is bulging out, ready to burst. I connected to it because that's how I feel that my life is like at the moment. I am ready to burst from being so stressed out.
The two artworks that I would like to know more about:
-Arshille Gorky's The Liver is the Cock's Comb, was created in 1944. It is an oil on canvas. I would like to know more about this work because I could not figure out what I was looking at. So many possibilities of what it could be popped into my mind. With the help of the title, I kind of pictured the inside of the liver, but it still did not match up to me.
-Pierre-Auguste Renoir's Petit un Bleu, was created in 1878. It is an oil on canvas. I do not understand what this picture is supposed to depict. Why is the girl all alone, half naked, near a creek it looks like? What is her presence supposed to mean?
Your art works selections are very interesting. Your comment of the painting Gamma are spot on, the color makes the painting relaxed, almost like it is a dream state. Also the painting Dinamismo di un cane al Guinzaglio with the hyper dog. the Artist does a good job showing the movement of the dog and owner, which makes the dog look hyper
ReplyDeleteI also chose the Untitled work of art by Lee Bontecou. I saw this work of art as having tremendous movement and really gets the viewer's attention. I'm pleased to read that we have similar thoughts about this particular piece of art.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone caught there eye on the welded steel and canvas piece of art in the museum. I felt it was very creative with the 3-D affect and the materials selected to do this particular piece since they all looked used from something else in this world.
