A.)
Which artworks make an impact or impression on
me? Why?
A painting that left an impression on me
was Giacomo Balla: Dinamismo di un Cane al Guinzaglio (Dynamism of a dog on a
leash) 1912. Oil on canvas. At first I really
didn’t know what it was but then I realized that it was a person walking a dog. I find this painting very interesting.
Another painting was Georges Seurat: study
for Le Chahut,1889. Oil on Canvas. It showed me how a artist can capture a moment
in time. Maybe he painted this image
from memory, or he was actually there watching. Very nice piece of artwork.
B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?
I felt a connection with James Ensor: Firworks.1887. Oil and
encaustic on Canvas. It reminded me of
my childhood and going to a carnival with my family and staying there until the
Fireworks were done. It’s the one time of the year we actually spend a whole
day together and we all love the fireworks.
Another painting was Edouard vuilard: the painter Ker-xavier
Roussel and his daughter. It just felt like home and a natural everyday
setting. It shows true emotion and it wasn’t
acted.
C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?
An artwork that I would like to know more about is Yves
Tanguy: Divisibilite indefinite (Indefinite Divisibility). Oil on canvas, 1942.
It really caught my eye. I don’t know how to explain it. My mind was trying to
figure out what it was but it couldn’t. I really want to know more about this
painting.
Another painting I would like to know about is Chaiim
Soutine: Carcass of beef 1925. Oil on
canvas. I just couldn’t wrap my head around how someone could do a painting of
a carcass of beef.
I reviewed the photos that you took for project 2, the art gallery visit. There were two paintings that I particularly liked. I like the first one you took of the fireworks. The painting itself reminded me of lava exploding from a volcano. The second painting that I though was nice was the dog walking painting and the way it shows movement. We see the dogs feet and they look as though they had been moving quite fast as well as the dog walker and the movement in the chain.
ReplyDeleteI laughed at your comment about Carcass of Beef. I can see where you're coming from, but I actaully found that to be my favorite one out of the bunch. I enjoyed the color scheme and the composition of the piece.
