This first one that I thought made a great impression on me wasn't necessarily in a frame it was already drawn on the wall and caught my eye the most. It was a piece done by Sol LeWitt titled Wall Drawing. When walking up the stairs to the 2nd level I almost fell over because I was looking at every wall, and not paying attention because I was in aw by what surrounded me. Another one was done by Tadasuke Kuwayama which was untitled This one just had so much color and effect to it that I didn't want to look away, or thought that there was something deeper in it so I tried looking for more and just caught myself being very intrigued. Andy Warhol has always been one of my favorites since I was in high school. There was one that was in a hallway leading to another corridor and as soon as I saw it I knew that this was one that I felt a connection with because it brought me back to another time. When walking through there was another one that I thought was great and I wasn't sure why, but the painting just caught my eye and made me want to learn more. There were so many lines and colors that were very distinctive that I knew this was a great piece to bring up dealing with the elements and principles we discussed in the previous chapters. The last two that I took picture of was called the Triumph of the French Painting which was in the same hallway as the Andy Warhol painting. This one just looked liked there was so much emotion and a story behind it, that I would actually like to know more about. The last one that I looked at was actually in the front of the gallery, it was by Jason Pollock titled Convergence. This one just looked like there was no thought behind it the artist just threw paint around and called it a day. This one I would actually like to know if there is a meaning behind it.
Overall there are many picuters, painting, and pieces of work that made me want to see more, as well as know more about the reason that they were created.
I really liked the pieces of artwork that you chose for this assignment! I also used the Jackson Pollack painting. I thought it was so beautiful, it looked angry and chaotic, but also seemed to have a calming effect on me. I also really liked the Andy Warhol painting. I must have missed out on seeing some pieces of art, because I never saw anything by Warhol! As sad as it is to admit this, this was my first visit to The Albright Knox Art Gallery. I have lived in Buffalo for 33 years and have really been missing out! I will be going back for sure!
