This is an oil painting by Gustav Klimt done in 1901. It is called Pine Forest II. From far away the painting almost looks like a solid brown canvas. As you walk closer more and more details appear. The trees, grass, and spots of light become visible. This painting was done with mostly small lines and dashes. The darkness of the painting helps to bring you into the painting. It makes you feel like you're standing on the edge of the forest and that it is pulling you in and forward. Up close the depth of the forest can easily be seen. There is no real focus point in the paint, but my eyes kept going back to the small specks of light peaking through the trees in the background. This also pulls you into the painting making you want to cross through the forest to see whats is behind. In many of the pictures of this painting online the brightness has been increased, and the effect of the dark painting is taken away. This artist use to take long walks where he lived, and painted one scene he saw.
This painting was done by Gino Severini in 1912. It is called Dancer at Pigalle's. This painting is a mix of oil paint, glued sequence, and molded gesso. From afar you can somewhat see the outline of the dress. The longer and closer you look at it the more things appear. The woman's hair, head, and arms slowly started to appear. Your eye focuses on the center of her drew, but because of the circular leading lines, your eye is always moving around the painting. This painting is in fact partially three demential. The folds of the dress are created from the molded gesso, and the swirls on the dress are the sequence. This painting has L-lines and leading lines that bring you through the painting. This is a very dynamic and exciting painting that appears almost princess like.
This painting, Mother and Child, caught my eye because of its simplicity. It was done by Pablo Picasso in 1922. It surprised me when I found out it was Picasso's painting because is so different from the rest of his work. The gentleness in the mother and the softness of the painting really comes through with the pastel colors, and the simplicity of the lines. Especially because many of the paintings in the room are detailed harsher paints of people. It amazed me how calming looking at the painting was, and how much he was able to get across. L-lines and leading lines move your eye through the painting. The focus is the center where the mother and child's hands are. The mother's hand leads you to her face, which is looking at the child. The child is focused back on the item between their hands.
