The Guilt of Golden Teeth


 This work from Jean-Michel Basquiat stood out to me more than his others. It's called "The Guilt of Golden Teeth" and it was made in 1982. Like his other paintings, there's a lot going on in the picture and it is very busy. Obviously, the man in the tophat is the main focus. That's what drew me in. I like his face and his little red shoes. His one arm is kind of creepy, its just hangs down.

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:

Banksy Rat

  I really like this stencil that Banksy did. He includes humor in some of his street art and this is one of them. He also does a lot of art with rats in them, but I like this one in particular. I like that the rat looks like he was caught in the middle of something. And it's not a "pretty" stencil he made, the rat is dirty looking and disoriented. Thats goes with the words next to it, showing he's not really trying to look good.

 Paul Cezanne is a famous French painter, one of the greatest of the Post-Impressionists, whose works and ideas were influential in the aesthetic development of many 20 th century artists and art movements, especially Cubism. Paul Cezanne was born on January 19, 1839, and died October 22, 1906. Cezanne is famous for his still-life drawings. A still life drawing focuses on still objects. The subject matter is inanimate and never moves, typically Cezanne did still life drawings/painting using fruit. The drawing I picked it called Still Life by Paul Cezanne. This picture first caught my attention because of the color choices. I really appreciate how deep and rich the color choices he used. I love how simple this design is, but yet so detailed. I like the shading and how he highlights the texture of the fruit. Also, I really like the shading in the vase and plate. Lastly, I like he blended the colors together.
