MODULE 5 Art Gallery #1

Ask myself:

A)    Which art works make an impact or impression on me? Why?

LAVEUSE AU QUAI D'ANJOU (LAUNDRESS ON THE QUAI D’ANJOU) By Honore Daumier made an impression on me because it touched base with poverty, and the color that he used gave it a depressing mood.

THE YELLOW CHRIST by Paul Gauguin made an impression on me because it is showing such a significant event, symbolizing the death of Christ. The colors contrast the mood of what is going on. The painting uses a lot of warm colors/tones when really it should be cooler more depressing colors.

B)    Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?

        I felt a connection with the painting “DIE WOLFE” by Franz Mark because it stood out to me  because of the warmer colors and just how the whole painting is designed, I think it looks cool because it looks like a lot is happening at once and the colors go good together.

I felt a connection with “ECHO, WOW AND FLUTTER” by Fred Tomaselli, when I first saw it I was attracted to the color and the pattern/design of it. I like the energy that it gives off when you look at it.

C)    Which art works would I like to know more about and why?

I would like to know more about “NOMAD” by James Rosenquist because I feel like there is a story behind the painting that I would like to know more about.

I would like to know more about “MUSIC AND LITERATURE” by William Harnett because it looks cool, I like the music sheet and books behind it, there is a lot to look at, and my eye is just attracted to this painting so it would be interesting to learn more about it.
