Ok here are the rules, you have to post a picture of a work of art that you really like. And then you have to give your interpretation of the artwork. It can be simple or complex, just make sure you give an explanation : )

[image loading]


This is an old german anti-american war propaganda poster from the world war 2 era. Obviously nazi's are bad. The holocaust was NOT ART. But what is interesting is the relevance this work of art has to modern america in and the wars going on in the middle east.

To me this monster represents the negative history of the united states fueling the american war machine. You can see the racist history the United States has been lead by the Indian on his shoulder and the klu klux klan mask he's wearing on his face. The monster has a woman's leg because beauty is valued very much in the united states. He's holding money and a music record too; also shadowing our American values. His other leg is a pipe that is dropping bombs on germany or in my interpretation: the middle east. His lower torso area is a war drum. We know the USA loves to go to war.

oh and for the record i am not anti america. I like the usa a lot. Just not some of the things going on internationally.

What do you guys think?

Post your art now. ONLY ONE WORK OF ART PER POST PLEASE.

I don't have much of an opinion of piece in terms of meaning or interpretation. I like the notions of strain, decay, and death. I'm also blown away at the detail beksinski puts into most of his pieces. This is probably one of my favourites

Similar to the last image i posted, I like the allusions of the piece moreso than the meaning behind it. I like the (fairly obvious) theme of isolation, as well as the minimal aspect of the piece.

When Love and Death Embrace.

To me this photo talks, the messy of death but it's organization is wonderful. how love can be as pretty as an amazing sunset, but it can also kill you. It has a lot of interpretations but to me, is how things can be something but relate in so many ways.

The artist's talent really brings this piece to life. I see it and I and i feel i can relate to the person, and what he's going through.

I've always like this from the first time i've seen it. I really like the contrast between the tower and the city down below and how they are all connected by the swirling clouds. Just very soothing to look at.

Racism, money, music, war, beauty, etc. are not American things at all; that pretty much describes every country there is and ever was.

And the USA definitely does not love to go to war. We've had the largest peace ralleys of any country and the only reason we went into Iraq is because the government lied to us (I never supported the war anyway). The 25%~ approval rating of the Bush administration right now reflects the fact that even staunch Republicans don't like war. I hate the Iraq war as much as the next person but I still think the American people (which is what America really is) has been one of the most or the most peace-loving nation ever.

It's pre-stewie, actually. The artist (Chris Ware) couldn't afford to sue Family Guy and the Fox megacorporation of evil. The character's comic is called "Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth." Go buy it, it's good stuff.

I've posted this here before, but I love it so much. I don't really feel I'm versed enough in art history to perform any sort of critique; I just love how Caravaggio uses chiaroscuro.

I saw this when I was younger at the National Gallery in Dublin, and it's stayed with me ever since. Of all the paintings I've seen, it remains my favorite.

Soothing as it is, this piece was supposed to illustrate the suffering of people afflicted with migraines...

archictecure record magazine calls it 'floating on water'. this is a really cool building that incorporates the environment well... looks all picturesque etc with the green grass and clear water surrounding the glass walls. can't find a decent picture though.

his most famous work, 'church of the light'

Critics call ando's buildings to have this "zen" quality. i don't really like that adjective, but his works really do have this sense of serenity and clarity that i can appreciate.

I saw a painting by this artist, Jules de Balincourt in some art book recently, I can't find the painting on the internet but this one's not bad either.

By the way I have my flaming helmet on if anybody wants to argue

Elegant shape, simple yet intrigue, an artwork that is both athetically and mathmatically beautiful.

Wow, that church is surreal. The concrete walls and threadbare pews are so austere, I wonder whether a parishioner feels serene or lonely. I suppose it really illustrates a disparity in the notions of church between the eastern and western worlds.
