1. The 1st painting is by Henri Matisse, called La Musique,1937. This is 2 spanish women enjoying a afternoon, it reminds me of Cubism period we were learning about. Very bold colors and emphasis on the women breasts being outlined, symbolizing expressionism.
2. Painting 2 is Smoke, by Fernand Leger,1912. I love this one it has contempory and geometric all over it, along with color and even some charcoal effect.
3. This sculpture by Lee Bontecou,untitled made with welded steel canvas on wire. I did not see this exhibit last time I was there, it is very interesting it looks like a 3D eyeball to me. It has very dark colors.
4. I know I was only suppose to enter 3 photos but I ran into the Emancipaton Approximation by Kara Walker. This consisted of 2 hall ways with Black and white silhouettes. It was telling the story of Abraham Lincolns Slavery, some were vulgar,even brutal and funny. This was more historical and was telling a story.
When going through the Albright Knox Art Gallery I found out that many of the paintings on the outside perimeter walls most stay maybe move around but may never go. The walls are all a bright off white color with many rows of recessed lights, when looking at the contempory paintings they had lights all in one row pointing right at the paintings illuminating them. The movement is very orgainized and areas seem to have paintings of similar size in same area, and the very anormous paintings with similar size. Framing is different on paintings geared to the era, or culture. The different styles of framing goes with the painters preference that may make connect with their painting.
