Kara Walker Cut Analysis

It may take deeper analyzation to determine, but an agreement is being found between the two parties. This artwork is more abstract due to the fact that it is a ledger drawing that was made using pencil, crayon, and ink on paper. Ledger drawing is a native’s narrative drawing that is created using paper or cloth. The form also contributes to it being abstract. The coloring shapes and lines are all simplified. Wolf’s artwork also uses the convention called iconography. Tribal colors are used to differentiate the native groups along with red ceremonial paint on the part of the native women’s braids. These details are culturally significate to Wolf and other Native Americans with the same

This particular artwork could be interpreted as symbolic for identifying a future for sexual freedom of women; women being able to discuss themselves sexually, accept who they are and their individual beauty and the freedom to express female sexuality art, removing the stigma

To figure this out, one must first learn about the piece. This image was presented along with 7 others in the Art Gallery of Ontario, on a wall covered in punctured latex, giving the illusion of open wounds, the blue reminiscent of a hospital. All of the images are turned on their sides, and appear to be grouped in pairs, each one

The woman has a featureless face, and a white parallel pattern represents the flowing raffia skirt. The woman is running, depicting movement. The horns are shown in a twisted perspective. The small white dots on the body of the woman represent body paint. The work has earthy colors, like white, gold, and beige, and is painted onto a medium-brown rock. The work takes up a fairly large space on the rock it was painted on.

Faith Ringgold composed this piece by using oil paints on a 31 by 19 inch canvas. It is depicting the struggles that her community and herself were facing while trying to gain equal rights from the majority of white American culture. She uses line, shape, color, value and texture

Our society has many flaws. The main flaw that it has is we’re super reliant on technology. Artist, Steve Cutss, has many pieces that portray our society at it’s worse. The image on page 81, demonstrates a chain, from a phone, which seems the bosse to a mouse that is trapped . My interpurtation of the image is that we’re in control of our pets but our phones control us and we don’t mind. I’m amazed at how obvious the images’ message is but yet some people don’t see the wrong in it. It’s upsetting how smart we think we are that we’ve allowed our creations to control us.

When I look at this piece I see something different that I have never seen because when you first look at it you think “what is this?” it’s very random, but when you take a close look at it like at the face molds you see the face expressions on them and each one is different like there trying to tell a story about what’s going on. As well as it look like a depressing story was being told about lost souls in a certain era like a war of a great depression with people screaming for help with

This artwork by Ally Sutton, like most major artworks, raises more question than it answers. The art shows a distorted figure of what is clearly a women. The face of the figure is hidden, perhaps it is an allegory to censorship. The woman is overall nude and the body posture shows that she is unabashed by the fact. The woman is in sitting position and her legs are not visible. Only one of her hand is visible and it seems to be resting on some invisible support. The background uses various dark colors and blends in well with rest of the painting. The woman seems to rise out of the background rather than lying patiently in one. Artist has employed use of various dark colors, which seem to do justice to her subject.

The artist depicts an initial confusing and weirded-out thought for the viewer at first glance, but as one deeply examines the art, the subject matter begins to become more clear. The vision being shared in this non-objective painting has a context of placing one in the standing of Mr. Man by gaining height and freedom from the (white) bars that are rising on each level that represent conflict which traps one in a “cage” of misery. The unbalanced symmetry of having the left side take up more space with little action, and the right side being smaller with the action unraveling, makes the viewer break down each composite perspective. For the left side, the mysterious female muse, Moon-Face, has an unproportional face that is almost blushing with shades of light pasty orange, with the mouth wide open. The energetic mood is amplified by the tone of yellow that is splashed in the mouth, representing a loss of words or at a state of disbelief. The female’s lower half is created with tints of red that enhances the curves on her body, as if chiaroscuro connects the light and dark contrast to show outline of the breasts, stomach, and hips in

It is a drawing that recreates what happened to him the night of the event that put him in the hospital. “First the outline. A teenage boy. Hands up. No.

The audience was given sticks of gum to chew and give back to her which she would place on her own body. The gum itself was meant to simulate a minimalist representation of the vulva, It also drew similarities to the tradition of scarification. These makeshift ‘scars,' acted as a juxtaposition to her vulnerable nudity, and typically ‘sexy’ modeling. The scars are scattered around her face and torso immediately challenging her beautiful appearance. Scarification is sometimes used as a rite of passage in certain cultures, and her fake wounds represent her possible rite of passage in both the male dominated world of art, as well as within the world of stardom. (i.e. “Starification”). Further, that the vulvar shape is itself the ‘scar’ asks us to see the vagina as a kind of wound-- and thus to see possessing one as a way of being

I think the painter view it as a heroine by placing the swords in his hands with armor on.

African American culture. The first is a man standing at a podium, as if questioning what he will say. This drawing could be a religious speaker talking to others in the black community. Since religion played a immense role in the Harlem Renaissance, one could easily find this idea in the magazine. The next image shows an artist working on a painting as another way to express one’s thoughts and emotions. The last is a black woman waiting tables as a profession. These images portray someone who is struggling for one reason or another. The uneven strokes portrayed as if it is a child making the drawings. The uncertainty from each character can be given through their limited but expressive surroundings. The preacher could be questioning his faith and what to say. The man drawing wishes to connect with his audience, yet can’t connect to those around him. The woman is struggling to get by in a man’s world. They are not pictures of black people, but the individuals and their struggles.

Also, collaged images of woman 's genitalia were cut out and spaced all around the portrait. The spaces were carefully used to show that the collages were floating around the woman. The artist used overlapping technique to show certain collage cut-out appear closer to the viewer. He pasted some collage over and some behind the woman that you could see through with the overlapping. The collage images were abstract that you could barely tell that they were buttocks until you zoom in and see them close up.

The portrait is displayed horizontally with a gold trimmed frame. The subject is a female that looks to be in her early 20’s sitting upright on a large brown chair. If the viewer travels up the painting the first indication of the woman’s class is her satin, blue dress. The saturated blue shines and falls in the light like water. Paired with the dress are her exceptionally detailed endings to her sleeves. The lace is even painted as though it is translucent, allowing a little of the blue dress to show through the sleeve. Flowers throughout history have symbolized innocence of a woman and her virginity. The repeating theme of flowers, in the sleeve cuffs and ribbon) in the woman’s attired suggests her purity or innocent nature. Another very details section of the painting includes the corset/torso details. The sewing suggests texture in the torso with small beading in between. Towards the top of the chest in the center, the female seems to bear an extravagant, ribbon piece with a tear drop bead in the center. The light pink
