The painting’s composition features a blue female figure, as the focal point, in front of a field of wheat stalks under a dark sky. To begin with, the figure portrays Alicia when she stayed in the Polish village Wujciechovka and found work in different fields. During that time, Alicia dressed “with [her] hair braided and bandanna” to look like “a typical peasant girl, Polish or Ukrainian,” to prevent being identified as a Jew (Appleman-Jurman 139). The bandanna on the figure is painted red, the primary color of the Soviet Union’s flag, revealing Alicia’s desire for Russian liberation of the village she hid in. Furthermore, during the day, Alicia’s mother would hide in the wheat field, like the one depicted in the background, because she was too weak to work. She would “part the tall and delicate stalks gently before passing through,” concealing her presence (Appleman-Jurman 138). Her success in hiding is reflected in the painting because the hill does not look like there are humans on it. Despite the danger that Alicia and her mother …show more content…
First, to conserve materials, this painting representing Alicia Appleman-Jurman was painted over another painting that was completed last year. Similarly, Alicia was forced to make the most of the items available her because it was difficult for her, as a Jew, to have access to new food and supplies. To illustrate, a group of boys from Alicia’s hometown would take “branches left over from cut-down trees” to sell as firewood (Appleman-Jurman 46). Jewish families in ghettos had scarce means of making money legally; the boys scavenged the forest for thin twigs to sell at the market. Second, the yellow hill in the background of the painting was painted over with a dark blue wash. The bright yellow of the hill symbolizes the protection the hill gave Alicia’s mother, but Alicia and her mother were constantly fearful of the danger of being caught, represented by the dark
In this particular Artwork of Ann Hamilton, I notice that she constructs a fabricated environment that was labor intensive and it consist of humans with animals. Most of the Materials used drew my attention. According to Ann Hamilton's website, Hamilton and assistants laid 750,000 copper pennies on a honey-coated floor. Behind the pennies sat an isolated figure in plain clothes, wringing its hands over a honey filled felt hat. And behind the figure was an enclosure of grazing sheep. The pennies looked like the scales of a gigantic fish. Hamilton used a lot of materials in this installation that gives the viewer clues to the meaning of the work. For example, She used pennies; the pennies were laid by hand, by laying out the pennies it looks
Woman From Willendorf is a sculpture of a overweight woman with rather large breasts made out of limestone in the Paleolithic period back in 24000 BCE. The figurine has a very grainy surface and it appears to have been covered in a red paint at some point which has now gone away or faded. The figurine also extremely exaggerates the size of the actual female body by having oversized belly, thighs and breasts, although we cannot see the back part of the figurine I bet it has an oversized behind as well. The person who created this figurine was aiming at the creating at expressing the health and fertility of a healthy woman. A healthy woman would mean that she could take care of the offspring and ensure strong children with could help the clan
The couple's outfits are thick and even have fur, although the painting suggests that it is spring or summer, due to the amount of sunlight entering from the window and the fresh oranges (most oranges are harvest during the spring). The furniture and the drapery is impressive, and the oranges themselves are rare and are therefore a symbol of wealth. The painting also illustrates the relationship between the two subjects through various objects. The painting suggests that the subjects are married. There is a dog in between the couple, which represents loyalty. Both characters have rings on their ring fingers, which suggests that they are both married. Also, the painting shows that both characters have removed their shoes, which implies that they are standing on holy ground, such as Moses was when speaking to god through a burning bush in the bible. The reason they are on holy ground is because a holy ceremony has taken place, that is, a wedding. Notice the characters' body language is composed of the dominant husband and the submissive wife. There is also various references to the newlywed couple's intentions of starting a family. Not only does the wife's attire exaggerate her belly, making her seem as if she were pregnant, but behind here there is a statue of Saint Margaret, the saint of childbirth and fertility. When the individual objects of this painting are viewed as a whole, the message becomes clear. Jan van
Liz Larner creates art that has a presence and that shows instability. Her art is influenced by poetics. This is shown through the overlap in some sculptures as well as breakage in others. The art that she produces gives a sense of flow and completeness. Using instability as part of her work is something that brings a sense of change to her work as well as almost never using the same techniques. Her relation of her art work to real life shows her beliefs in the balance of reality and illusion.
This artwork named Untitled #223 by Cindy Sherman shows the theme of motherhood. In this artwork, we see a woman who’s breastfeeding her child and this part of motherhood is a special bond between a mother and its child.The work of Cindy Sherman is created with images that exude emotion and function as an exploration of the stereotypes we recognize in society, (MindEdge, 2016). In modern times, a woman’s breasting in public without covering her breast has become so controversial over the years. Society has shaped motherhood to be something “proper” but in some cultures, women are openly breastfeeding. The virgin Mary artwork that you chose is also controversial because the breast all out. In most cases, the Virgin Mary is depicted as a white
Marla is a talented artist but, is not a prodigy. She can not explain parts of her painting, video footage of Marla painting are different styles and her family may be helping her with her paintings. When Stuart Simpson explains how he saw a door and the baby's head. Marla not only says she did not see it but also cannot explain what goes into her paintings. Simpson is in an expert in this field as an art critic. If an expert can see it should not the creator be able to see something. Another reason Marla is not a prodigy is she has a different painting style in the ones we have footage than the ones Amir did not videotape. In the Backyard Painting, Marla is shown just swiping paint around into what looks like a flowers and Suns. While in Zane
For my art piece I did a recreation of the first image on the next page.This piece was by Iris Scott who is a world known finger painter. As you can tell this painting is of an older girl walking through rows of trees when the leaves are falling. I did this because I thought it was a really cute painting. My painting is a little girl walking through a path when the leaves are falling out of the trees. It was actually a really easy painting because I used a dotting type of technique. Since Iris Scott was a finger painter and I didn't want to get dirty, I got a fanned brush and dotted the painted where it was needed. I proportioned the little girl to the tree. I also used lots of color in this painting. I blended the orange, yellow and reds for
For my analysis paper, I decided to write on painting. The painting that I chose to write about is called Liliana and it was done by Jillian Lee. The painting itself is 60 by 40 inches and was worth $13,500. I went to Old Towne Gallery in Park City to see this painting and many others when I was deciding what to write this paper on. As I was looking through all of the paintings and sculptures this one in particular caught my eye because it was not what I would traditionally call art and it was $13,500. Usually when we see art it is a landscape or a portrait. I have rarely seen any kind of art that it’s main focus is a piece of clothing. This painting’s focus was on a highly detailed dress that has flowers towards the bottoms with many different colors and shades. I also thought that the texture and colors of this painting were very interesting. The artist made the texture very thick and it made the art pop out to make it seem like it was more of a three dimensional piece of art rather than the traditional two dimensional. The colors also interested me. There is a lot of blacks, grey, and whites in the background which is

The painting has a symbolic meaning to communicate the artist's message. For example, the fear is represented in this painting by the expressions on everyone's face. Everyone is fearful because in the painting, there is a riot breaking out that are all commoners and they are raiding bakeries. One man in the center of the painting that has the expression of anger, but has a stance of will. He seems to be driven by his hunger and his angry towards the king. Therefore, he is willing to fight with the mob. The artist used dark colors symbolizing this is a negative painting
There is emphasis on the man in the left side of the image showing the blood stained cloth around the neck. There is also emphasis on the woman with her legs spread apart and back end showing indicating she had been sexually abused. The focal point is on the man in the center of the painting twisting the man’s arm as he being hung.

The first thing you notice in about the painting is a young woman standing in a 3/4 fourth position on the entrance of what looks like an apartment building while she looks to the horizon. A peculiar thing about the lady is the fact that the dress’ skirt is transparent and which was not a common trend among woman in the 1940’s. The setting of the picture is during day time, probably late in the afternoon because of the yellowish tones reflected on the windows. The overall felling when seeing the picture is a sense of serenity and peace, because it looks like not much is going on the street, it gives a sense of quietness.
In this painting a group of men appear to be lost at sea. The sky and waves indicate that they are in the middle of a storm; in addition, the wooden raft looks as though it has endured a lot of hardship during the course of their journey.The men are piled up on top of each other in a shape of a pyramid. Some of the men are clothed while others are either halfway clothed or not clothed at all. There are approximately five men dead on this raft and others trying to look for help. At the top of the pyramid two men are holding up shirts trying the gain the attention of something in the background. In doing this all their backs are facing the viewer of the painting except for an older man slouching over a dead crew member.
