Edouard Manet

Luncheon on the grass was design to incorporate a message within the painting that the people in this painting were the type to go against the norm of how people are supposed to present themselves. the clothing on the floor and twigs and berries resemble mischievous behavior between the group on their adventures into the woods. the painting itself was designed beautiful on how the woman stairs right back at her viewers and or peeping toms as the two men proceed to speak among one another. the landscape was created with depth and colors that complement one another with the bright white skinned woman. i am not sure on what the woman proceeds to do towards the back of this painting but she adds a depth and perception that the painting captures as if the viewer could just calmly walk right into the scene.

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.

Frida Kahlo: Roots, 1943

"Roots" 1943 Created By: Frida Kahlo Written By: Madison Herley The painting "Roots" created by Frida Kahlo in 1943 represents the artist herself. I choose the painting "Roots"  because it was an unique style of a portrait. For example, usually portraits are a close up of someones face. However, in Frida's painting it is a wide shot of herself on some type of land with roots coming out of her torso. Some researchers believe Frida was inspired to create this painting because she alway had a dream of being able to give birth since she was a childless woman. In addition, other researchers have predicted that Frida is mimicking the Catholic religion with a Christ sacrifice by having her blood flowing to the vines. Furthermore, this sacrifice has been connected to some of Fridas other work as well. I did like this photo the best because she used a lot of warm tones to create the painting. The color of her dress and the vine branches stood...
