Christ Redeemer

The scalpcher Christ the Redeemer was built in  Brazil in 1931.  In 1889 Brazil became a republic country which meant now laws about the separating of church and state so a group of people started a partition and tyred to get danishes and signatures of people how supported the aider of building the scalpcher.  The scalpcher is trying to indicate Christianity sins its a scalpcher of Jesus and he is in the pose of the christen cross, the arms open wide is meant to indicate peas.  I think the idea of creating this scalpcher was to bring back Christianity to Brazil. 

the Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal was made in India it took twenty two years to create it was finished in 1648 C.E.  During the time the Taj Mahal was being made the queen Mumtaz Mahal was dieing so the emperor built the Taj Mahal in memory of her and she was to be berried in the Taj Mahal but she died before it was finished.  The large stretcher was made to indicant power.  The fact that it was the queens death someone with leadership and power meant she was given a resting pleas to show her wealth.

self portrait

this is a self portrait of me i made the back ground by poring blue paint on the door and spreading it around with cardboard then i did the same with the red and scraped it around in wave patterns which relates to the painting convention abstraction  i was originally trying to mack purple but i thought this looked better then i waited for it to dry.  after it dryad which took like most the day because i spread the paint to thick i gridded up the door the squares wore 5cm then i coped the photo graft which i also gridded the squares wore 3cm on to the door then started painting i painted the clothes first, neck, hair then i got started on the face i painted the white side forest i no you cant see by the photo but the white side you can see all the paint strokes but on the brown side its all neat and you cant see the strokes.  After that i pot some caramel colors on my back ground to bring in some of the skin colour and to finely end it i rubbed out the grid.  All in all this all took about three days.  My idea was to create realistic portrait paintings which relates to the painting convention figurative.  the artist I'm trying to relate my art work to is Gerhard Richter my first painting i started with and am trying to relate my aether paintings to is the painting coled Bette which is a self portrait of a girl but in stead of looking at you she is looking away from you

girl with a pearl earring copy

The girl with a pearl earring as you can see has been coped on to a book cover just like many famous paintings and pitchers have been coped on books covers, Cd's covers, or have just been coped.  Dose that mack it lose its value wall i think it dose because there is more then one which macks them fake  and it is leas special now because of that.  It is no longer one original panting which means en one can cop it for their own yous.  But on the aether hand you could get a copy on a post cared and that would higher its value and meaning because more people around the world would see it making it more wall known

Greorges Braque Man with guitar

abstract art is not an accurate copy of an image.  like this painting Man with guitar by Greorges Braque.  The image is mad of different parties, shapes  and unrealistic curlers making it very hard to mack out what is happening in the painting.  Abstract art is meant to get your attention and a emotional response from you which is why most abstract art is foll of bright curlers for example this painting man with guitar it has bright red and orange in the center to drow your eye and over power all the gray and green around it to mack the to figers stand out and often every things out of preposition like this painting which is made out of different shapes and the to figers look totally unrealistic.  Abstract artist drawer from the hart and sole instead of what you see is what you get.  Our liking for abstract things happened back wen the Vikings mad the Veins a small hand haled sculpture of a women but her body is way out of proportion shes missing arms you cant see her face and the rest of her body is huge showing that even back then we were interested in out of proportion things and our love for it has grown all our lives we seem to crate unrealistic paintings, drownings and scultures there was one period in 480BC wen the Greeks created a realistic scalper the Kritios Boy but soon after they finial accomplished their goal and created a realistic sculpture they changed it back to abstract sculptures.  We just seem to find real life art work to boring

lunch on a skyscraper by Charles C Ebbets

this photo was taken in 1932 the photo shows 11 men eating lunch siting on a girder with their feet dangling down hundreds of feet above new York city.  this photo was taken on the 69th floor of the GE building wall it was still being constructed.  This photo represents the working community showing how people   yest to and some times still do haft to work.  the men in the photo obviously ignore wear there having there lunch as you can see the 11 men are eating a sandwich, smoking, and enjoying a well deserved brake completely unfazed that there dangling hundred of feet above the ground.  The health and safety of the work's these days are quite different from then.  People would have a hart attack  if they sore workers up on a skyscrapers without a harness.  The business would be hammed hard and the boss and work's would probably be fired as to back in 1932 wen it was perfectly all right.

Dali Atomicus by Philippe Halsman

         "Photography is, first of all, a way of seeing.   It is not seeing itself," wrote Susan Sontag.  This quote explains as you can see in this photo how Philippe Halsman sees Salvador's panting and not the way the rest of us would see it.  "The modern way of seeing is to see in fragments.  It is felt that reality is essentially unlimited, and knowledge is open-ended.  it follows that all boundaries, all unifying ideas have to be misleading, demagogic; at best, provisional; almost always, in the long run ,untrue.  To see reality in the light of certain unifying ideas has the undeniable advantage of giving shape and form to our experience.  But it also - so the modern way of seeing instructs us - denies the infinite it represses our energy, indeed our right,to remake what we wish to remake - our society, our selves.  What is liberating, we are told, is to notice more and more" wrote Susan Sontag in Philippe's photo the laws of physics does not seem to work this photo seems to escape reality showing the creativity that there is no right or wrong answers that a pitcher can be what ever you what it to be..  Philippe was trying to mimic the style of Salvador Dali's painting of a naked lady with evil cats. That is why after seven years he asked  his friend the painter Salvador Dali  if he could take the photo of him. All Salvador was asked to do in the photo was to jump up in the air - the whole process had to be done 26 times until they got the shot that they wanted.
To create this photo Philippe asked his wife, who he called his first assistant, to hold up a chair to the left of the camera. Then his second and third assistant were asked to throw the cats and a bucket of water and two boards randomly beside Salvador. He changed the camera to a low shutter speed which changed the effect of the water.
When the picture Dali Atomicus was published Philippe was told off by cats lovers.
