Wayne, transforms this painting into a three dimensional abstract piece of art. The focal point of the painting are the figures that look like letters and numbers that are in the front of the piece of art. This is where your eyes expend more time, also sometimes forgiving the background. The way the artist is trying to present this piece is showing happiness, excitement, and dreams. Happiness because he transmits with the bright colours. After probably 15 minutes on front of the painting I can feel that the artist tries to show his happiness, but in serene calm. The excitement that he presents with the letters, numbers and figures is a signal that he feels anxious about what the future is going to bring. Also in the way that the colors in the background are present he is showing that no matter how dark our day can be always will be light to

Gustav Klimt was a part of the Vienna Secession art movement. Not only was he just a part of the Vienna Secession art movement, but he was the cofounder and the president. The goal of the Vienna Secession was to exhibit foreign artworks in Vienna, and to provide exhibitions for young unconventional artists (Moffat, 2008).

The composition of this painting forces the eye to the woman, and specifically to her face. Although the white wedding dress is large and takes up most of the woman’s figure, the white contrasts with her face and dark hair, forcing the viewer to look more closely into the woman’s face. She smokes a cigarette and rests her chin on her hands. She does not appear to be a very young woman and her eyes are cast down and seem sad. In general, her face appears to show a sense of disillusionment with life and specifically with her own life. Although this is apparently her wedding day, she does not seem to be happy.
In the first image on the left, a man is kissing a lady; the artistic way of expression can be interrupted as disrespectful or offensive. Her work has had a lot of criticism as there is too much sexuality featured. For example, the boy and the girl on the cliff having oral sex. Nevertheless, she doesn’t shy away from controversial topics of racism, gender,and sexuality in her paper -cut silhouette.
When you put all these aspects put together with my interpretation of what is happening in the painting, a sense of calmness and security was constructed for me. No matter what this couple may be going through at the end of the day they still lean on each other for support.

This piece is and is 218.4 centimeters in height and 172.7 centimeters in width. I was not able to find the medium of this artwork but I am assuming it is either acrylic or oil on canvas. The style is also abstract and features what looks like random painted figures and shapes positioned all over the canvas with patches of red, yellow-green, mustard yellow, white and beige as the background. There are a couple random objects painted on this piece that are recognizable, such as a red cup with sugar cubes next to it, but there also many unrecognizable shapes that are more open to interpretation. It is my least favorite because I do not find the overall color scheme of the painting very appealing. Personally I feel as if the colors in this piece do not go well together, especially the shade of green and yellow in the background. Compared to Basquiat’s other pieces that are richer in color, this piece falls
“Art must be an expression of love or it is nothing.” Art is just that, one of many ways that people can express love. LOVE by Robert Indiana and The Kiss, by the French sculptor, Auguste Rodin are just two sculptures that demonstrate love. LOVE is a structure of the word love in red with the first two letters above with the “O” slanted, and the last two letters bellow the first two, that is displayed publicly in New York City.

The materials and colors used in the two sculptures, as well as the aspect of love that they represent and the history behind the sculptures, The Kiss seems to be more romantic.
