Assignment 1: Art Critique



Description:
-The majority or the focus rather of this piece is taking place in the foreground.
-There seems to be a large brawl of sorts between men, women, children and one lonely soldier. Its as if the men are doing whatever they can to kill the children while the women are risking their lives to save them.
- Very light, with vibrant colors. But at the same time soft with lots of neutral colors taking over much of the frame.

Interpretation:
-The mood is extreme in such brutal violence while at the same time great valor and heroism. It shows that even in the face of annihilation, those who fight for what they love have the power to live on.

Evaluation:
-I think this piece shows amazing imagery and captures the anger and brute force that human beings are capable of releasing upon themselves. This is such an intriguing work of art by what it represents and by the intentions that the artist had. The choice of colors are subtle and not too vibrant which I think makes this piece satisfactory and inviting to the eye.
