Albright Knox

I think the artist that made more of an impact on me was both James Ensor, and Jasper Johns. Both of these works are bright and colorful and the way that they are put together makes you wonder and think, They also make your brain work which is why I think it made most impact on me because I was trying to figure out why they did what they did and how these pieces of work. They are both images of things that I like, growing up I loved fireworks and the excitement that was involved with them. As well as the aspect of numbers and colors working together, for me and working with children it involves all the aspects that they need to be taught from the beginning.


I feel most connection to both Jackson Pollock and Helen Frankenthaler, because of the way that they created these works of art and the way I feel about how I like to create works of art. You can see the emotion and the confusion and the passion that both of these artists put into their work, The blending of the colors the spotting of the paint, the mixture of the random colors that are intriguing to look at and try to find the story behind them.


There are two works of art that I honestly want to know a little more about which is both by Joan Mitchell and  Paul Cézanne . Both of these works are not showing full figures which is what I would like to know what like what were the artist actually seeing in order to create what they created. Why did they paint these works in the style that they did and did their emotions play a role in the colors that they used.

  3. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on these paintings. I see that you included the first two paintings by Jackson Pollock and Helen Frankenthaler because the remind you of firework which you loved when you were younger. This is a perfect example of how our individuals pasts can affect how we view artwork presently. Our experiences and associations have a big impact on our perspective. While you viewed the paintings to be pleasant and having them bring you to a fond memory, someone else may have seen those paintings and gotten frightened! Great interpretation of the artwork!
