Diane Arbus : Barefoot Child Jumping Rope


Diane Arbus captured a wide variety of people. She often photographed the less represented side of society. I like this picture because it is a representation of the innocence in the world. This girl is just jumping rope barefoot . She probably doesn't care that her feet could be getting dirty or that her dress looks a little short. Society finds away to take innocence away, but Arbus has captured it in a photograph.

Lito Mayo

Lito Mayo was a Filipino  artist since the 1970's. I love the creativity in this painting,  Self-Portrait of Lio Mayo made in 1981. He was not known as a Dada artist but they considered his work to be apart of the Dada movement. He was offically known as a  Filipino graphic artist, print-maker, avantegarde poet, social activist, sculptor, satirist, and art professor. He spent a lot of time in museums working on art pieces before moving into his offical career as an artist.
