Girl Pictures by Justine Kurland
This series has my heart. Read reflections from the artistĀ here.
What I am visually drawn to in these photos:
the tone: blue-gray and murky green
compositional balance between subjects
subject matter: girls adventuring
magic in city vs nature
casually taken with an artful eye for composition/poses
Works by Paul Ranson (1864-1909)
What I love about the first image:
the shape/alternating colors of the ripples in the water
the tree trunkās patterns and green/maroon accents
wavy female figures
foreground foliage vs lack of in background
highlights on rocks
color palette, atmosphere
What I love about the rest of the images:
limited color palettes (except for blue/orange contrast, but I like that too)
subject matter: women doing things
flat application of paint
wavy environments
contrasting outlines
repeated droopy leaf motif
smiling rock in the last painting ;)
Marilyn, A Muse
Photographs by Eve Arnold and Milton Greene
What I love about these images:
their distinct film quality
vivid blue and orange tones
combination of being both playful and artful
casual vs unconventional poses
Jackson Pollockās Black and White (Number 20), 1951
I visited the LACMA recently for the first time ever and saw this piece (these are my photos). I couldnāt look away- I probably spent ten minutes standing and staring at this piece.Ā
There is something special about it that I think can only be seen by an artistās eye. This is an oil on canvas, definitely unprimed canvas and probably some other medium combined with oil paint. The paint is matte in some places and looks shiny and slick in others- this can be seen in the close-up photo. What I believe makes this painting so enrapturing to view as an artist is the effect that this slick paint has- you know that unprimed canvas will soak up the wet paint moments after it is applied, and despite being totally dry, this work has areas that look wet. These notions combine to create movement in this painting. It feels like you are standing in front of it, watching it dry, waiting for the paint to look how it logically should, even though nothing of the sort is actually happening.
Henri Matisse
Specific characteristics that I love:Ā
black outlines
flat floral patternsĀ
use of red and mauveĀ
thin application of paint
window views
deep purple/red/cream contrasts
subject matter: women and/in spaces
