A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?
Chaim Southine. Carcass of Beef ca. 1925. Oil on Canvas.
This piece of art has an impact on my because it really grabbed my attention. Why would someone paint this? The artwork is beautiful but the beef itself looks disgusting. The detail is amazing and it looks real but this piece of meet is far from appetizing.
John Ahearn. Pinwheel 1998. Plaster
This work made an impact on me becuase it shows the important of working together. Being a community is one of the most important things.
Marshall Scheuttle. Untitled. 2008 LightJet Digital C-Print
This picture made an impact on me becuase being a college student there are parties all the time, and underage drinking and people going downtown. The girl that is the focus of this picture looks very uncomfortable. This just goes to show you how many girls that go out really do not want to be there.
B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?
Claes Oldenburg. Ice Cream Being Tasted 1964. Painted Plaster, porcelain, and metal spoon.
I feel connected to this work of art becuase ice cream is my favorite thing in the whole world! I can eat Ice Cream every day! My first job was at Anderson's Frozen Custard.
Tom Wesselmann. Bedroom Painting #40 1978 Oil on Canvas.
I don't know why i felt so connected to this painting. I was just immediately drawn to it. The bright beautiful color and the smile of the women just really grabbed my attention.
James Jacques Joshed Tissot. L'Ambitieuse (Political Woman) also known as The Reception. 1883-85 Oil on Canvas
I feel connected to this painting becuase I'm a Fashion Merchandising student so i automatically look at the garment in which she is wearing. The beautiful ruffles on her gown shows her important status in society. This women is of the upper class and is most likely a major role in the community.
C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?
Louis Cameron. Apple & Eve 100% Apple Juice 2006-07 Acrylic on canvas on wood panel
I really want to know how this is considered a piece of art. If i were to paint the bar code of an apple juice box i would know be considered an artist. Pieces like this i just do not understand.
Nancy Dwyer. Kill Yourself 1989 Vinyl paint on canvas.
I am really interested in learning the motive behind this artist, as well as who is this message to?
Ashile Gorky. The liver is the Cock's Comb. 1944 Oil on Canvas
I really want to know the inspiration behind this work of art. What made the artist choose these bright colors? Do these represent people?
I thought that your pictures were very interesting and the reasoning behind them! I loved the fact that you put a picture of ice cream in it. The college girl was an interesting one as well. I feel that I can completely relate to it seeing that I am a college student as well, this was one of the ones I used in my project. I also used the "Kill Yourself" work as well, I would want to know why would someone send that message out to the people!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed looking at this post because when you described how you felt about each, it really sounded like a college student explaining it, which made a connection with me.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your reasoning for the Untitled piece by Marshall Scheuttle. Most parties I go to, I really don't want to be there, but it always seems that every girl I know is all "wooo parties!" So it's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't mind a night in once in a while.
