this artist has been acclaimed as one of the major American sculptors of the late twentieth century. creating this sculpture in 1979. His best known works feature human figures cast in plaster directly from model. This image shows a dark woman’s naked upper body who appears to be thinking.
This image can be seen as someone wondering over there own existence, certainly implying social commentary on the treatment of African americans and people of color. She could be pondering why the world made her this way. She is exposed without clothes to show a woman free of restriction and someone with nothing to hide. Her emotions and attitude are up to anyones interpretation

This abstanct expressionist painter use certain colors and shapes to create one balanced image
“Field painting” was considered one of Abstract Expressionism’s most important achievements. Traditional painting depended on basic principles of composition. the placement of objects colors to create a pleasing, balanced arrangement.
A hidden treasure of the abstract expressionist movement, the painting can be seen as nothing, shapes working together to create an image, or one complete image.
One look at this painting and people just see black and white. Similar to my video people just see a man and his dog. However what they lack is the ability to see the blend of personalities working together to create a whole image. The monochromatic colors are complementing each other without any of them being dominant on the canvas. This is a good way to show my relationship with my dog.
