2. The Syphilis of Sisyphus (2011) by: Mary Reid Kelley
The artist Mary Reid Kelly created a short 11-minute film called, “The
Syphilis of Sisyphus.”The picture I chose corresponds with her film.The film is
presented in a black-and-white format, as she plays a pregnant woman named
Sisyphus who runs around France. Her face is painted as her skull inferring it masks
her identity. In numerous amounts of Mary Reid Kelley’s artwork includes some sort
of French history.
3. My Photo Response to Mary Reid Kelley’s:
In Kelley’s artwork I was really drawn to the face of the woman. I
thought her white mask and her black eyes really created a scary attribute to her
photograph. So in my photo, I dressed in all black, which included: black
sweatshirt, ski mask, and glasses to portray Kelley’s character. I really try to
depict the mirror aspect in Kelley’s photo. So I attempted my own by taking a
“selfie”.
4. Connection betweenThe Syphilis of Sisyphus and the
Two Fridas
The connection between these two pieces of art are they women. I perceive
the attention to detail of these pieces of art are spectacular.The clothing, make-up, and
hair really relate to each other’s beauty. It brings attention to feminist perspective.
5. CREMASTER 1 (1995) by: Matthew Barney
Matthew Barney really focuses on making angles that occur during sports
broadcasting. Barney’s played football in high school, so he past impacts his artwork.
This is a production still.
6. My Photo Response to Matthew Barney’s:
In my photo I focused on angles as Barney did in his photos. I am in the
corner of M&T Bank Stadium. I got half view of the field, fans, and players. Barney’s
focus is on the cheerleader, I think the Ravens logo is the focus in mine.Then the two
GoodYear Blimps compare to the two fires in my photo.
7. Matthew Barney connection to Richard Misrach (Pg.
540)
The connection between this two photos are
the simplicity. Both artists have a focal point, in
the middle of the picture.There is nothing fancy
but they but present a strong message.
8. Philadelphia Prototype (2002) by: Robert Ryman
This painting consists of two walls that join at a right angle on both sides. In the
middle is a winder with light reflecting in the room. A light is on the ceiling. On each
side of the wall consist of reflected paintings. Ryman focuses his attention on object
as a structure. So he exposes his work to how things are structure and how they
impact each other.
9. My Photo Response to Robert Ryman’s:
In my photo I focuses on composition and focal point like Ryman’s.The center
presents the broke door. Above the light shines in the rooms like it did in Ryman’s
photo.The structure in this photo is very comparable to Ryman’s.
10. Robert Ryman’s connection to Olafur Elisason
The connection between these two photos is their
focal point of sunlight.The composition used is
spectacular. It really enhances the photo for each
artist.
