Questions:
A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?
The work of art that made the biggest impression on me was that of SOL Lewitt. Walking up the staircase and seeing his work directly on the wall was amazing. It really catches your eye and I just stood there in awe. Then when I read about the creation of this work and how it covers more than 2,200 square feet of wall surface and that it took nine weeks. A crew of 16 people scribbled for 7 hours a day for 54 days. It took a total of 5,026 hours and 1,717 pencil leads were used.
The work of Robert Delaunay was beautiful. It has amazing color and styling to it. It is a painting that you can stare at for quite awhile just looking at all of the different thing going on. There is an incredible energy that comes from this painting.
B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?
The works of art I felt a connection with was Salvador Dali and Vincent Van Gogh. It was a great feeling standing in front of two paintings by some of the most famous painters. Painters and works of art that I had been learning about since I was young in art classes. Being so close to them and thinking about their creators made me feel more a part of the world of art. Both were beautiful. Salvador Dali's painting however has a beauty that is hard to photograph or even to see in a photograph. I felt that it was much different in person, seeing the colors and reflections. It does look transparent.
C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?
The two works of art that I would like to learn more about are the work of Fred Tomaselli and Gustave Courbet. I was intrigued by all of the mediums used by Fred Tomaselli; leaves, pills, photo collage, acrylic and resin on wood panel. He used some unconventional mediums which sparked my interests. It looked layered like it had some depth and beautiful coloring and shape. Just by looking at it you can tell that he uses a labor intensive technique to create his work.
The painting by Gustave Courbet looked intriguing. It made you feel like you were about to float into the cave or tunnel. It was a beautiful painting. There is something very mysterious about it. I love real landscape works and this one makes you feel like you are underground.
You should list at least two different artworks for each
question. (Total of 6)
I enjoyed all 6 pieces of art that you choose for this project, especially Gustave Corbet's work. I feel that you also adequately explained each work for the reasons you needed to. I agree with the use of Corbets work for part C for I would have also wanted to learn more about it and would have included it in that section.
ReplyDeleteI feel you chose not nice pieces as well. You've got a good eye and I to would like to know more about the work of Fred Tomaselli; his work was very intriguing. Your understanding of the art and the insight into it all you offered was on point as well.
