Ginger Jar and Fruit on a Table

                       


This drawing called Ginger Jar and Fruit on a Table was drawn in the year 1890. This drawing is a still life of multiple pieces of fruit and a ginger jar (as the title suggests). I choose this painting as it was the first drawing that I found that I enjoyed. I have always (for some reason) enjoyed still lifes, especially fruit still lifes. When I see a fruit still life, I always think of a home that would love to live in. It makes me feel at peace.

Romare Bearden's art is interesting. This is not the art I would usually like looking at, but it is unique. Vibrant colors, cutout-like features, all these make it kinda feel like a collage.  This reminds me of a certain art style that one of my favorite anime uses. In the show, The enemy and the world they create has a similar art style to this. Here is a couple of examples:

Richard Estes- Kimberly Durso

This is a painting of the Williamsburg Bridge made by Richard Estes in 1995. This painting caught my attention because it looks so realistic. It does not look like it was painted at all but it looks like a picture shot off of a professional camera. There is so much detail, Estes even included the graffiti and rust. It amazes me that he was able to paint from this angle and include all of the shadows, especially that the painting is not based on a photograph because the shadows must have been moving as he was painting.

Emily Dee "Jamming at the Savoy"

  Romare Bearden was an African-American artist and writer who depicted African American life. His early work focused on unity and cooperation within the African-American community. His use of the collage theme reemerged around the 1960s. I chose this piece titled "Jamming at the Savoy" because to me it is a very happy piece. The colors he used are bright and vibrant. I love music, and I enjoy how everyone looks happy playing their instruments.
