Art Gallery

    James Rosenquist  an American, Born 1933. Nomad, 1963. This piece of art work the James Rosenquist designed caught my eye right when I walked down the stairs of the art gallery.  I intrigued by all of the different color and shapes that were appearing in this piece of art. With out knowing the history behind this art work, it seems as if he was remember or thinking about having a picnic somewhere. Now I can be completely wrong but I see a picnic bench with the background layer having some sort of spaghetti.  I can imagine myself on a picnic on a nice cool day eating a plate of spaghetti. Now I do not know if it because my obsession with spaghetti that this art work caught my eye but I do know I starred at this art work trying to figure out the true meaning to it.

Another artwork that I felt a connection with was by Janine Antoni from Bahamian, born in 1964. The work of art was done in 2009 names the Inhabit. This work of art brought me back to my days when I was a younger girl and play dolls all the time. It is an actual ironic piece of art work because the girl standing through the doll house is larger than it and I remember I always wanted a doll house bigger than I was. I look at this art work that she is stringed from the wall going through the doll house to show that maybe all she does is play with her doll house so she needs something to hold her up and keep her awake. I know that I would spend hours in my room playing with my doll house.

Two art works that I would like to learn more about was a piece by Lee Bontecou who was born in America in 1931. When I looked at this art work I first though of a volcano, but  there is just something about this art work that I feel there is more to it with the abstract of the different browns and the rising of the different levels throughout the work.  

A)     Robert Raushenber an American that was around from 1925-2008 created a work of art named Ace in 1962.  This piece of work had an impact on me because it took me awhile to look at this art work between all the colors and that are going on in this photo. Without knowing any history behind this art work it seems as if there are a lot of different object that are on this photo.  The different colors alone are so intriguing between the dark and bright colors I can also see myself learning more about what exactly Robert is trying to show through his art.

Another art piece that had an impact on me was the Head by Roy Lichtenstein  and American that lived from 1923-1997. I do not know why but this work of art reminded me of the Mona Lisa. I feel like I would just get excitement and energy just by looking at the bright color red head lady.

   Another one I would like to learn more about would be by Andy Warhol an American that lived from 1928-1987. The piece is called 100 cans. Now I am not sure but I once heard a story about a man that ate soup like every day for so many days and I am wondering if this is the work of art that I heard about. I would like to learn more about this work of art and find out if there is truth to what I heard in the past. I will defiantly be doing some researched to find out more about these two works of arts.
