Jazmine Pagoada 9/23

 

I chose this image from Egon Schiele because I loved the style. I can't pinpoint the exact type but I do enjoy the comforting aspect of it. I also liked the way the clouds are subtle towards the top. The coloring in the trees and it gives it more of a darker appearance.

Richard Estes- Kimberly Durso

Image
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"

Image
  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.

Self-portrait with hands on chest (Egon Schiele)

Image
  This self-portrait is called Hands on Chest (1910)   by Egon Schiele. Schiele was an Australian painter, who was a protege of Gustav Klimt who was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. This was a self-portrait of himself made in 1910. The portrait is shown with watercolors with charcoal line-drawing. The artist's hair is spiked up and his hair color is an electric blue. His hands are folded at his chest, his long fingers reaching across his body. I chose this artwork because I thought the artist's expression was interesting and vacant. I also liked his colored hair, that's what I first noticed about this portrait.
