The first picture i took was of the Untitled made by John. E (Jack) Drummer in 2004. The title of the exhibit was The effects of time and i am not sure what you would consider the theme, but all the pictures were bigger than usual and abstract. All the lighting through the exhibit was the same and had full lighting, but lights directed towards the art. White color was used on the walls with black trim.There was maze like walls to walk though the exhibit and allowed you to walk thought the rooms and get the full effect of the pictures. All the works are organizes on the walls and some kind of stacked on top of each other in away. This picture though was by itself on a wall and it really stuck out to me on the white wall. In this exhibit some of the pictures were the same regarding the size and the dark colors that were used, but the differences stuck out more with the difference among them. they all clearly looked different, but it was very unified all together. This art had no frame, but was stretched rubber and tar over 4 panels. The art was labeled to the right of it on a card that described who made it, when they made it, when they lived and dies, and what it was made of. Each of the pictures were around 20 feet apart from each other and at some points around a few inches apart. The use of texture here with the stretched rubber over the tar. The color and adding the white into the picture and the gray like tree that is coming from the sides made the picture pop. It shows a little movement with the tree like it was going somewhere and the lines of the rubber made it really stick out.
This picture is called Intersections made by Philip Clarkson Elliott between 1971 and 1973. The title of the Exhibit was R. Williams Doolittle from what I saw, but other than that there was no title anywhere. The theme was hard to detect, but there was a lot of bold colors and an abstract look to them which is what caught my eye. The lighting here was dim and focused solely on the pictures in the exhibit. There was nothing special about the architecture around the exhibit except the wall the painting was on did not fully touch the ceiling. Navy blue was painted on the walls and the flow of the room was a bit different because there were case in the middle of the room which would cause people to view off from the walls to the cases. The art work was mostly on the walls and adequately spaced out as well as some of it in the wooden cases. The art was a lot similar in the kind of similar used and the different abstract types and the difference was the total knowledge that it was something new that was painted rather than something that went along with the other picture. The art work was framed in a wooden frame and it was about 5 feet away from the other pictures on the walls and abut 10 feet from the cases on the floor. This picture shows a lot of color and that is what catches peoples eye. There seems to be a bit of texture the way that the picture is laid out and it looks like movement in away like the shapes are coming from the sides and moving up. There is unity surprisingly with all that is going on.
This picture is called the Chinese Garden made by Charles Burchfield.The title of the Exhibit is The John R Oishei Foundation and the theme was all about Charles Burchfield and his life and art. There was very dim lighting and the light was only pointed at the art. On the walls there was some white on the walls and some medium gray. There was nothing special that was used in the space besides some of the walls did not fully go to the ceiling. The movement of the room was nice because you had a nice island case to walk around and the other pictures were on the wall besides those ones. This art work is organized very nicely and it two pictures that are meant to be one. This picture stuck out to me because of the springy feel and is the same of maybe three other pictures in the exhibit, but there was a lot about Charles and that was more pictures of him and his life than actual different pictures that he made. The picture was framed in a wooden frame with glass covering the picture The art work is labeled to the right identifying who made it, when they lived and died and how it got there. From this picture there was around 3 feet from each other, but other about 2 feet. This picture shows a lot of color with the birds and the trees and it shows unity with the two pictures into one. There is good proportion with all the things going on and the trees as we;; as emphasis on the birds and the tree on the left.
