Roger Brown
Mr. Gotta go faster than anyone else
This art piece is so beautiful to me because Brown used oil on this canvas,yet every detail is defined and precise. This image looks almost 3-Dimensional. This piece uses a lot of movement to bring the image to life and also gives you an anxious feeling. The canvas is a flat surface,but the road looks curved, the clouds look surreal and the car looks like its going to drive right off of the canvas. I'm amazed by the skill of color usage, shapes, shading, etc. made with oil. all of these factors brought the image to life as if you were looking at this in person. Also the imagery isn't an ordinary illustration so it catches your attention more because this image isn't something you get to see everyday which makes you appreciate this art work more.

El Greco
Christ carrying a cross
El Greco created many paintings of Christ carrying the cross. It is a religious image of unforgettable immediacy, profound with deep emotion. Christ's willing sacrifice for humanity is expressed through his kind, soft eyes while embracing the cross with such tender hold. The image portrays Jesus to be a strong man by his physique, for example, his broad shoulders, bulging neck, and husky chest. Also the artist portrays Jesus to be a handsome man because of his angelic face,defined bone structure, and his curly healthy hair.The depiction of his face is impacting because through his suffering he has a facial expression of anticipation to go home and reside with his awaiting father, that's why he's looking up at heaven.
Wilfredo Lam
Untitled
From the first glance of Lam's work piece you see an image of a young lady; but once you pay more attention you realize its not just any ordinary young lady. Lam depicts this young woman to be beautiful, sexy because she has a curvaceous body and conceited because she's looking at herself in the mirror. Although, the reflection in the mirror isn't as appealing as her superficial appearance. Also the facial expression looks melancholy and the young lady looks away from the mirror almost in a shameful manner. I feel that the young lady is beautiful on the outside and once she looked in the mirror and saw her true reflection in the mirror she was faced with the truth of who she really is and its unavoidable. The message I interpreted from this image is we can be appealing to the eye and unattractive within. Looks can only get you so far in life and eventually everyone will see you for who you really are.
