    The used of Frida Kahlo’s Line, Tone, Colour, Shape, Pattern and shapes are very unique. She had used manly warm colour in her portrait. A cool blue for the suit, a warm red for the floor, a warm yellow for the chair and a mixture of colours for the wall but mostly yellow. The tone’s she used made the chair and herself look 3D and the rest 2D. The pattern she had used is clearly shown in the wall behind her; it is soft and has a repetition of smudge spots making it looks like clouds. This is very different from the rest of the portrait. The texture of the background, her skin, chair and suit are smooth rather than rough. The way she painted the…

    The feeling is expressive. It expresses sympathy for destitute and oppressed people in society. The focal point is the right hand of the mother where there are two white dots. The optical effect of color leads the audience’s attention to the hand when they first lay their eyes on the painting. The vanishing point is towards the left hand of the mother. The illusion of space is shallow. The fusion of light areas and shadow, with black streams from behind the figures, creates a mood of solitude and…

    The organization of the painting is mainly constructed with use of long vertical lines, which creates a dominant foreground that uses dark, neutral colours. In the foreground you see the image of Eve, who is made up of deep curvy lines to demonstrate the body of a naked woman in a standing pose, one leg in front of the other. The tall curvy lines clearly defining the shapes of the legs, torso, and arms. Standing…

    The way her eyes looked down made me feel as if she is ashamed of herself, not wanting to face the world around her. To me the slightest bit of orange above her left eye, the eye that is shedding a tear, makes me think that she was struck by an object or a closed fist. Her bare rough feet symbolize the roughness of life, and the struggles that she might have faced. Yet with all of the distress, I still get a sense of gracefulness. The way she keeps a straight back, only bringing her shoulders slight forward makes me think that through it all she still has a bit of hope remaining in her. While examining the woman more, I began to think about how she was place within the painting. I think the artist put the woman in the corner for a clear purpose. That purpose being that it is her comfort zone. Because corners are not a place where many people initially go, it can be a comfort zone for some, a place to be…

    Color, along with the subject of Madame Matisse, is the focus and most important element of the work. Matisse has used color here to illustrate the composition of his wife, but clearly the color use is not how one would imagine she looks in reality. These colors are bright, striking and painterly. One would not expect that her hair is really comprised of blue hues and that her complexion is a mixture of greens, oranges, yellows, and pinks. His brushstrokes are obvious which aid in rupturing any illusionistic element of a realistic painting. The green line down the middle of her face, though non-representational, reflects the location where the divide of light and shading render upon the subject. It almost appears as if Madame Matisse sat between a natural light source and a lamp causing two light sources to reflect upon her from different directions. The result is shading represented by the green objects in the middle and under her eyes. The combination of colors is non-naturalistic providing spatial contrast readily apparent to the viewer. Despite the appearance of being randomly applied, it is evident that Matisse has thoughtfully placed the color on the canvas.…

    Manet’s Bar at the Folies-Bergère effectively speaks volumes without requiring words, or even a detailed analysis by professionals. With anything longer than a quick glance, the viewer can extract from the painting an air of boredom, separation, and perhaps even contempt. The composition of the painting pulls us away from the scene, taking us into a withdrawn space. The audience will glimpse a woman who seems to be as far away as she could be from the scene, mentally. They can see a face stuck with melancholy, any emotionality in her eyes speaking of sadness, and a longing to be anywhere else.…

    I believe this painting shows a loss of identity. This is the reason I chose this as my favorite piece of art, because I can relate to it. There came a time in my life where I was struggling with my own identity. In today's world it is very significant to identify oneself with at least one thing (ones ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, or a particular belief). Many people still grapple with the notion of identity in many countries, regions, and various ways in order to fit or adapt into any environment (social, economic, cultural, political, etc). One’s identity determines ones position or situation in society wherever one lives. However, finding the right type of…
