This week’s current event article pertaining to art definitely had the most unique pictures and paintings that I have seen yet for any of my blog posts. They are all very eye catching and made me think a lot in depth. The first painting of the three was a black and white painting. When I first looked at it all I noticed were the ox but then I looked more closely and there were men working in the back in a foresty area. The article gave information that the painter, Noel Sicles, was raised in poverty so maybe this could have been a scene from his memory that he had lived through.
The next painting done by Albert Dorne was my favorite of them all. It is a painting of a bunch of grown men around a bed, most likely of someone dying. I say this because the artist shows an arm in the bed of a man or women who appears to be very old and sickly. The colors in this painting are also very well down. For instance Dorne gives the arm in the bed a very noticeably red so that the viewer can notice it easily. Another thing that stands out to me are the wrinkles. Not only in the clothing but in all of the figures’ skin, wrinkles are noticeable and well defined.
This last painting in the sequence is very scary to me. It reminds me of demons and hell and I believe the author intended. There is no scene in the picture just a figure with a gas mask on and horns coming out of his head. He has the number 6 on his head and waist and he is playing with a ball. I think this painting is so scary to me because it looks so realistic and appears to be a human body.
