Don Eddy and Louise Bourgeois

The first painting i want to talk about is a painting done by Don Eddy titled New Shoes for H. One of the things i love about this painting is the vibrant colors. I'm pretty sure i see all the colors of the rainbow in this on picture. However, that's not even the coolest part. The part i like the most about this picture is that it's creative and is based around a very specific subject which is what you see when you look through a glass window. The author based it around the glass window being translucent and reflective at the same time. He painting everything you see through the glass and reflected off the glass at the same time. He made everything sharp and in color. The way the image came out is just trippy. He also colored the painting so that you can tell the difference between an image seen through the glass and the image seen reflected off the glass. The colors of the things reflected off the glass are colors used in a way that makes it seem like you're seeing an entirely different universe. Kind of like a parallel dimension that you can see with your eyes. If you look to the left, however, you can see that the colors are used normally and everything looks the way it would in a normal world. What i love most about this painting is that it makes me think that there could be a possibility of an alternate universe. Overall, this painting is amazing.

The next artist i want to talk about is Louise Bourgeois and his piece Untitled. I actually don't know what to make of this piece. I don't even know if i would call this art. To me this piece just looks like artist hung some of his clothes on a rack and took a picture of it and called it art. The book mentions a little about it depicting aging. However, i could not see what the book was talking about when i looked at the picture. I don't know if it's my failure as the viewer to see what the artist was trying to capture, or if it is the fault of the artist in conveying his message. either way this piece has failed to elicit some, if any, emotional stimulus from me and that is what i look for most in art. A piece that will make me think or see or feel something. I like pieces that make me think about life or a message. Most art that i like makes me think about life or a hidden message something that symbolizes something. I like art that makes me feel at piece or excited. However, i get nothing from this piece. I feel nothing i don't really see anything extraordinary. The only question that  pops into my head is what was the point of this. I don't even have the care to look further into why the artist did this. To me, this piece has no significance. I don't mean to be harsh when i say that. But overall, if i saw this piece, i would wonder what the artist was thinking or what the point was and wouldn't bother any further. I would immediately move on.
