Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up - Egon Schiele

Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up, 1917 by Egon Schiele 

Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up, 1917 by Egon SchieleEgon Schiele was an Austrian painter. Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. Schiele work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and the many self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele’s painting and drawing mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism. I chose Schiele artwork called “Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up”. I love the red tones in her hair and the greens in her loosely fitted shirt. Her intense appearance and body position really got my attention. Overall, I love everything about this artwork.

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.
