The art work that made an impact on me was The Self-Portrait With Monkey by Frida Khalo. The reason this painted impacted me was that I was surprised to see that they had a Frida Khalo painting. She is my favorite artist of all time because she made portraits of her self. They were all different. I knew what she looked like. This painting was also the one that meant a lot to me because of it meaning. I feel a connection to Frida Khalo's Self-Portrait With Monkey because the animals on the painting represent the kids she never was able to have. In my family there are more than one women that struggle having kids. I share their pain because I was there with them. I would like to know more about Seaman's Belt because it is so abstract. It is so colorful and full of movement in my eyes. The painting makes my eyes dance around and I would like to know more about its meaning.
You wrote a lot about the Frida Khalo piece, and a little about the Seaman's belt, but not much about the others. 2 pieces for each question, and there are 4 unexplained. :( I'd like to see more about how you felt about these pieces and why you chose them other than just the first one.
ReplyDeleteI like all of the painting you chose but I am a little disappointed that you did not let us know what art gallery you went to visit. You should always include clear titles and appropriate headings when you write a blog reflection. I also wish you had more detail in your response to the art works.
