Art Gallery Visit #2





Step 1:
1. Rosalyn Drexler "Who Does She think She is?"
2. Love and Violence
Step 2:
1. Bright on the painting but dim in the room
2. The colors of the wall are white
3. Plain white drywall with white marble door frames and dark floor tiles
4. There is an open floor layout so your eyes flow from one piece of artwork to the next. You are also able to see other exhibitions from the current exhibition you are in.
Step 3:
1. Each artwork is spaced out equal distance apart from each other. Also, it is spaced out by warm and cool colors, every other.
2. They feature at least two people showing either love or violence towards each other. For example, either kissing or slapping.
3. Each artwork shows a different form of love and violence. For example, one artwork shows kissing, others show hugging. For violence, one shows slapping, another may show rape.
4. In black and white frames that only cover the outer edge of the canvas.
5. Each artwork is labeled by the action represented in the paintings and by the artist.
6. Approximately 4 feet apart.
Step 4:
1. For the pictures that portray love, most of which are either kissing or hugging. Generally the mood for each is love and affection. They are generally warmer, more affectionate colors with a black frame around the canvas. The violence paintings on the other hand, are generally more cool colors like blue, and they have a white frame around each canvas. The mood in these paintings is generally hatred of towards each other. Another running similarity in most of the paintings were the women were mostly white, whereas, in both the love and violence paintings the male in the picture was black.
