These two pictures were very interesting to be because of how they were painted on canvas. I love the colors and how they show emphasize the meaning. The first picture is interesting. This is called the Silhouette, two sticks 2016 courtesy of the artist and Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York. The second picture was made by Mickalene Thomas also made on canvas and involves wood panel. I think I would like to learn more about the oil and enamel on canvas type of art work closely related to the second painting. I feel connected with the first painting because it makes me think about what It could potentially mean.
The first image by Charles E. Burchfield in 1927 Winter, is oil on Canvas. This painting I like because you can take a lot from it and really try and think about more than winter but why it has the things in it that it does. The way the street looks and the buildings leave a lot up to the imagination. In the second picture by Paul Fagerskiold White Flag 2013, is oil paint, sand, and gravel on canvas with a frame. This has outlines of the way the American flag looks but in white. It was a gift, but i feel like it is a bit mysterious. Once again I am fascinated with the paintings on canvas mainly oil. The first picture is very interesting to me because of what it leaves for the imagination. I would like to know more about this because it is something that I am interested in and would maybe like to do sometime.
In the first picture, Jim Hodges created the Marquette for loom and see 2004, This is interesting because I do not see a lot of things like this around where I live. Actually it was the only thing like it at the gallery. It stuck out not only because of how big it was, but that it was reflecting the sunlight so it kind of blinded me to catch my attention. The mini models are also shown in a little case near the door to go out and see it. In the second picture by Walter Gay Interior of Chateau du Breau 1910, is oil on canvas as well. This is something that I don't usually like because it is older. I like a lot of newer art mostly but this is interesting to me. Why have an empty room with no people all clean and set up. I mean why actually paint it. There must be a reason to it. I wouldn't know what it is and it being up to me to decide my take on it really interests me. I would like to know and see more of sculptures like the first picture because like i said i do not see much of it.
I wanted to go to this exhibit, but it was sold out for the time I was there. I kind of peeked inside but i didn't get the chance to go in and get a better look.
Your gallery visit looked very interesting. I liked the work you chose, very different. I also wanted to get into the monet exhibit, but it was also sold out when I was there. I would've loved to see this one for sure. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteThe White Flag 2013 piece was very interesting! It's hard to tell in the picture that it was a white flag, but after you explained it and what it was made of, I was able to make out the outlines of the flag. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteYour visit looked like it was very insightful! I also wanted to visit the inside of the Monet exibit but could not, however I was able to see some of the Monet paintings that were on display, and fell in love with his art almost immediately! the way he used color on his canvas was simply nothing short of inspiring and incredible! Glad you had as productive of a visit as I appeared to have!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you had a fun time at the gallery and took a lot out of it! I really liked that you incorporated the Marquette for loom and see because that was also one of my favorite pieces at the gallery. It's definitely a creative piece that makes me wonder what the reason behind it was as well.
