I. One of the pieces that made an impact on me was Roberto Matta,
Card Players Oil on canvas 1957. Because it seemed so chaotic compared to the art pieces surrounding it.
The other artwork that left an impression on me was
Nudes by Thomas Ruff, 2001 Laserchrome print on Diasec face. Because it just did.
II. I felt a connection with Nancy Dwyers'
Kill Yourself 1989, Vinyl paint on canvas. For personal reasons and because freshman year I visited the gallery to do a similar project and took of a picture of it then as well. I just love it. Its so blunt. And wicked.
The second piece I made a connection with was Joan Linders
Where Death Delights in Helping the Living 2010, Ink on paper, because it reminds me of my busy life. Post it notes with constant reminders of what needs to be done. Its literally my school life on a wall at the Albright Knox Art Gallery.
III. I would like to learn more about Gustave Courbet
La Source de la Loue 1864, oil canvas, because I found it incredibly intriguing. Its just a dark hole, why? Where does it lead? I need answers to these questions.
I would also like to learn more about Salvador Dali's
The Transparent Simulacrum of the Feigned Image 1938 Oil on canvas, because I love the work of Salvador Dali, surrealism is one of my favorite types of art. I'd love to learn more about any of his pieces.
Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to view your selctions since they are completely different than mine! One that I don't even remember seeing is Gustave Courbet "La Source de la Loue." This is very intriguing how you can not see where the tunnel will lead you to from our current vantage point. To me that symbolizes our lives.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI also picked the painting of the cave. I Thought this picture was pretty cool. I was drawn to this painting, the artist painted it in a way that makes you want to know whats hidden deep in the cave. I love the realism of this painting.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteThe images you selected were great! Pretty interesting especially because I think I bypassed most of them when I went.
