1.) '100 Cans' by Andy Warhol. 1962 Oil Painting. 72 x 52. This piece of art work made an impression on me because I remember seeing a picture of it in my art class when I was in middle school. My teacher had it hanging on the wall in her classroom and it was nice to see the actual picture in real life. It made me think back to when I was younger.
'The Yellow Christ' by Paul Gauguin. 1889 Oil on canvas. 36 1/4 x 28 7/8. This piece of art left an impression on my because it is such a strong image. I feel that any picture that deals with religion and particularly Jesus, it was always have a strong impression on people.
2.)'Backyards Winter' by Kevin B. O'Callahan. 1933 Etching. 12 5/8 x 9 3/8. I feel a connection with this picture because it reminds me of Buffalo and what it looks like in the winter time. I have lived in the area all my life and the houses being close together and snow on the roof tops reminds me of home.
'Mirrors on a Wooden Frame' by Lucas Samaras. 1966 Mirrors on wooden frame. 96 x 96 x 120. I remember when I was at the art gallery for a field trip in Middle School and this piece was there. It was one of my favorites when I was a child and it was nice to see it again.
'The Coming Storm' by George Inness. 1878 Oil on canvas. 26 x 38 1/2. I had a connection with this picture because I work at Erie Basin Marina and you can always see a storm coming across the lake before it actually arrives. This picture reminded me of work.
3.) 'Nomad' by James Rosenquist. 1963 Oil on Canvas, Plastic, and Wood. I would like to know more about this piece of art work because there is just so much going on and plenty of different colors were used. I would like to know the artists thinking when he made this piece.
'The Ninth Power' by Yaacov Agam. 1970 Stainless Steel. 70 3/4 x 70 x 70. I would like to know more about this piece because I just found it to be very unique and out here.
'Geometree No. 51' by François Morellet. 1984 Tree branch and acrylic on canvas. 78 3/4 x 78 3/4. I would like to know more about this piece because it just seemed so simple that I really dont know how it was considered art. I usually have this problem when looking at art work that seems simple, I can never understand it.
I almost chose Andy Warhols "100 Cans" when I did this project as well. It is very familiar to me, honestly it is what I immediately think about when I hear the name Warhol. I decided to choose other works instead, but this is still one of my favorites from the gallery. I read about the fiasco with the "Rockin at the Konx" concert, and I almost experienced the same thing. Fortunately I read somewhere on Thursday that it was happening on Friday, and opted to go Thursday instead of what my original plan was.
ReplyDeleteAlthough we do not share any of the same artworks from the museum visit, I do find yours to be interesting. I like the 100 cans of campbells soup the best from your collection.
ReplyDeleteWe do not have any of the same pictures, however I enjoyed seeing what I may have missed or overlooked with the pictures I chose. However in response to the other comment, I experienced the concert trying to get in to the gallery and it was just an overall bad experience, not many people knew what was going on in regards to the gallery.
ReplyDeleteI had the Yellow Christ also. Viewing the gallery was fun. Theme of religion is always full of value and optical mixing.Glad you had fun at the gallery.
