Your Manifesto

The trinity of perception

We are lost in today's culture because how we see the world is sometimes very different from how others do. The planet is said to contain billions of other worlds. The author of illusions, Richard Bach, introduced me to this idea. This sentence was intended to imply that your world is one of the many billions that roam the planet. The three words that make up the trinity of perception are so much more potent than you and I could ever conceive. The average person may recognize that everyone has incredibly diverse lives through perception.This point can be related to the poetic license assignment, and the poem in question written by Osip Mandelstam and was titled Do not compare: what lives is incomparable. In this poem, he expresses his perspective on life and demonstrates how distinctive this vision was. We all have individualized lives, but what if I told you that we may also share common values in these lives? You would undoubtedly concur and say that some beliefs are shared by many. But what if I told you that the majority of people around the globe can agree on three words as a belief and a sensible want that should be granted to us all? We must first consider what life is. Recall that I said there are eight billion worlds on earth. Some people might think their way of life is quite different from that of their neighbors. For instance, you may see life through the eyes of nature. In my photographer's eye assignment, I discussed which images caught my attention and how they show how nature, including the creatures and plants in it, continues to exist despite whatever may be happening in the outside world. This may also apply to us because we continuously live a life that will prosper until the day we die. The second term that goes nicely with this subject is freedom. Freedom is a powerful and audacious word. Being free is what the majority of beings desire. In this regard, there is some similarity between humans and animals. In the assignment, I used a sculpture by David Black to illustrate what a particular kind of freedom might look like. According to the sculpture's description, its goal was to demonstrate that in a specific setting, a sculpture like the notorious "fire dance" might represent openness and freedom. The sculpture's concept of what that kind of "freedom" is like was well realized, and it successfully captured the mood of that part of Fort Myers. This sculpture does an excellent job of portraying unity. For instance, the majority of people desire harmony in their relationships with friends, coworkers, partners, spouses, and in other spheres of their existence. Without cooperation, how can these things function properly? I also concentrated on Roger De La Fresnaye's picture "Artillery" to illustrate the idea of unity. I purposely picked this image to express togetherness in a war-related meaning. It portrayed a courageous French army that is getting ready to unite against their opponent. Another illustration of unity is The two major characters in the film "Lost in translation" who have a connection that enables them to comfort one another. Even the famous film The Godfather highlights the value of maintaining family harmony. Some people may interpret the idea of perception as a means of empathy or other forms of connection. Perception in this instance might be both positive and negative. The unfortunate aspect of perception is that it can lead some people to believe they understand how others might be feeling. Of course, putting yourself in another person's shoes helps, but that only gives you a small glimpse into the difficulties that person may be dealing with. For this reason, unity, freedom, and life can occasionally have opposing viewpoints. People may disagree because of this, but you may also consider the benefits that perception can bring in unity, freedom, and life.

Ekphrasis and Analysis

Ekphrasis:

As I was roaming down the New York streets

I was sweating due to the summer heat

My music was loud and jumping 

Unknowingly I realized I was Stumping

Kids were outside playing near the fire hydrants

While still dancing with excitement

People were laughing and enjoying a nice stroll 

While the people skateboarding and rollerblading were maintaining control 

As they were skating by and passed there favorite food spot 

They stood outside and drank the water they had just bought

 As they skate off a women in her car honked at these “invaders” 

Soon they were parting in two different directions as they said “see you later” 

With the sky as blue as it was today and the skyscrapers hanging in the distance 

I couldn’t help but wonder how its beauty was a timeless existence

This city was just breathtaking.

Analysis:

I went with Richard Estes' Baby Doll Lounge as my selection. Richard was able to depict the streets of New York City in 1978 in this oil painting. Everything you see in this piece is a real street in downtown New York that once existed. Richard had a reputation for using his oil paintings to simulate photographs.The fact that the street was deserted was the detail that mainly caught my attention. I would say that was the first particularity I observed.If you have ever been to New York, you know it is a chaotic and fantastic place. So when I say chaotic it's not too far off from how New York is when I referred to music, rollerbladers and skateboarders, and a woman honking at them in my translation.People were quite social and active outdoors even in the 1900s, much like they are now.My personal experience in New York and what I mostly observed, especially in the summer, I believe helped my work convey the tone and emotion. Since New York is by no means a calm city, you would assume that this piece by Richard depicts a silent environment when it is not. The goal was not only to show that with his skill he was able to capture the essence of how New York was at that specific time but also to show how attractive New York can be to an onlooker. Unquestionably, New York has some amazing sights. To give an impression of what it would be like to walk through New York's streets today or in the 1900s I didn’t exactly replicate the silence of the imagery that the piece demonstrated, So I made the decision to include additional visual elements that may differ with the original piece.

Not Seen on TV

I believe the video was trying to test the audience's perspective and memory. In the video, a man purchases a gun and strolls through Mexico City with it. The two sequences are clearly quite different from one another when you watch the video in its entirety. In some instances of the reenactment of the video, you'll also notice that the camera occasionally zooms in on the feelings of bystanders. In the actual non-reenactment part of the video, you actually rarely see the same impact of the bystanders' emotions. Moving visuals like this one can communicate with the audience by grabbing their attention in the initial few seconds of the video and additionally, it may bring up emotions.The idea that violence, especially when it happens regularly, can desanitize the majority and make crime in some locations seem less concerning was, in my opinion, what this video was trying to communicate. It was rather unexpected that people did not seem to be as afraid as I had anticipated. They seemed accustomed to this kind of circumstance. I don't personally believe that this video challenges television, but I will say that it does question art because this isn't the standard kind of art that you see in galleries and other establishments. A viewer can more easily distinguish between what was real and what was not by using visuals that represent the structure of two opposing sides of a storyline.The way the video was put together was also intriguing because, if you look closely, you can see that the two videos are connected at one point where we see the man walk down the same alley in both of them. This was an incredible addition by Francis that was partially creative, finishing with different but the same outcomes of an ending.

Alas,Poor Yorick

I decided on the Hamlet movie with Mel Gibson. I was initially exposed to Hamlet through this movie, therefore I am somewhat familiar with the scenes. Act 5, scene 1 was one of the scenes I selected. This sequence caught my attention when I watched the movie for the first time several years ago, so it stood out to me. The connection Hamlet seemed to have with the skull during the reading dictated the difference in diction between the film and the script; this helped me understand the situation better, and I was able to visualize what Hamlet was trying to convey in that scene.Of course, the plot in the film demonstrated how emotional the scene actually was when I watched it. In accordance with the text, the scene opens with Hamlet and Horatio strolling through the graveyard when they happen to observe gravediggers who were merrily laughing and acting like—as Shakespeare could say—“fools.” As Hamlet approaches one of the gravediggers, he engages in dialogue with him; The gravedigger points to an uncovered skull. The gravedigger then proceeds to ask Hamlet if he knows whose skull this is and Hamlet replies as if he does not know who that is. That's when the gravedigger replies that it is  "Yorick the King's Jester,". We witness the formation of the famous line "Alas poor Yorick" when Hamlet asks the grave digger whether he can look at the skull. What I find most impressive about this scene is how Hamlet uses his speech to express a variety of feelings as he recalls Yorick as a child caretaker and playmate, shifting from happiness to grief as he does so. The setting and main theme of this scene were unquestionably about death. If you pay great attention to this scene, you can see that Hamlet was realizing that, no matter who you are today, everyone will ultimately turn into Yorick.

Anatomy of a scene

“Lost in Translation”

I decided to check out the Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson film Lost in Translation. The film's running time, which is barely 1 hour and 41 minutes, can be considered short. I believe that connection and loneliness were the driving forces behind the movie. Bob Harris and Charlotte, the two main characters, are introduced in the opening nine minutes of the movie. Charlotte is a woman who just got married, and Bob is an actor. They develop such a strong bond with one other during the film that they are able to confide in and comfort each other while also seeing each other for who they truly are.In my opinion, the majority of the movie begins out more quickly, but it was probably due to the length of the film. I thought there were a lot of gorgeous scenes and, of course, humorous scenes in the movie. One lovely image was when Bob was riding in a taxi through Japan at the beginning. This scene was noteworthy since it gave us a glimpse of nightlife in Japan. The camera angles of the views provided the spectator with an appreciation of how beautiful Japan is. We even get to see the same emotion through Bob's visuals when the camera provides him a close-up so we could see him examining the sight. Let's talk about a humorous scene where the Japanese director was telling Bob that he needed to look and face the camera. From the viewer's perspective, the director's words seemed to cover a lot more ground than what the translator was communicating to Bob, which is why Bob responded, "that's all he said." I was confused as I watched this event unfold, just like Bob.Another funny scene that made me laugh out loud was when the director sent Bob a "guest" to his room. In this scene, communication was again a problem because the lady was trying to say "rip" my stockings but most people, including Bob, heard "lip." As he was about to do so, she fell to the floor hollering and yelling. That sequence surprised me because I wasn't expecting it, but there are countless other humorous movie moments. Each scene effectively conveyed what being "lost in translation" meant, and I thought it was wonderful how they cleverly incorporated the term into the film.

“Arrival”

From beginning to end, Arrival is an engaging film with numerous moments that are expertly shot. In the movie Arrival, a linguistics expert is tasked with attempting to converse with extraterrestrial life forms. Louise Banks, the primary character, is excellently portrayed by Amy Adams. Her acting is effective because you can feel the character's struggles throughout the entire film.I believe that arrival was intended to demonstrate how language is a crucial component of communication. As you can see, the two movies I choose both deal with communication in some way, albeit they do so in quite different ways. Being 1 hour and 56 minutes long, this movie is a little bit lengthier. The movie's pace was slow, but in the end it was able to convey the actual goals of its goal.Since it's a thriller movie, I believe it did a great job with the drama, which always involves a lot of emotion. This movie definitely took me on an emotional roller coaster at times when I've seen it before. I enjoy the opening since it gives you some idea of what will happen in terms of the main characters emotional progression.The beginning which is the scene I like was mostly violin and another low tone instrument in the rear, the music at the beginning, which resembled a solemn symphony sound arrangement, was enough to capture the mood. Another part was a wide shot of the interior of a house with the camera facing, I believe, the ocean and with it also showing low lighting to express the characters sad feeling all alone while the symphony was playing, and as this was going on we heard Louise express how memories are in her words a strange thing and how certain memories do not work as we thought. Just this, even though it is the beginning, already gives you a vibe that it will be an emotional movie.

The Godfather & La Jetee

Both The Godfather and La Jetee were fantastic movies. Both had production methods that were distinct but in some ways similar. In the opening credits of The Godfather, music started to play, and, like in La Jetee, it had a similar sound and concept. In La Jetee, the wide shot and the black and white background are the first things we see as the movie begins. Usually, when I watch black and white movies, the focus is primarily on the plot and not the colors of the story, which can make the movie seem slower to me but also demonstrate how some images can stand out more generally. The film was also intended to provide a time-lapse demonstration of the narrators life.La Jetee's focus on the narrative rather than the cinematography was one of its strengths. In each shot, including wide, medium, and close-up ones, still photographs could be seen. Regarding The Godfather, which is a well-known movie. The story of The Godfather is delivered from multiple points of view as we hear from various characters throughout the film. The film opens with a father telling a story about what had occurred to his daughter. In the opening shot of this sequence, you can only see the father telling his story and the expression of emotion on his face.The fact that the shot changed to a medium shot, allowing us to see that the godfather was truly at his daughter's wedding, provides the spectator a better idea of what might be going on.I believe that the objectives of both movies were successfully accomplished.

Photographer's eye

Theme: Continuation of life

I choose to focus on the continuity of life for this task. So, especially after the hurricane, it made me realize a couple things. I would always stay outside at night, even when there was no power, whether it was day or night. Even when something awful has happened, life just continues as normal despite the harm it created. What I found interesting was that life simply never stopped. Therefore, the images I have here are intended to demonstrate how nature and life simply go on. 

The tree in my backyard that was destroyed by the hurricane is shown in the first picture. This tree has been there for many years, but storm Ian finally caused harm to it. The idea behind this picture was to demonstrate that even though the tree was missing a piece of itself, it still managed to stay upright and continue to grow new leaves, even though it was unable to do so on the damaged side. However, the side that is now missing will just sprout into a smaller plant in a few years, regardless of how it currently appears. 

The following image shows a moving object, possibly a plane, traversing the sky. This quickly got my attention while I was out walking my dog. This demonstrated to me that despite negative events occurring on the opposite side of the globe. Over here, the skies stayed clear and sunny. In fact, this gave me the impression that the world is a mysterious place. While it may be dark and cloudy in some places, other regions may experience days like this.

A field of grass is shown in the third image. This was photographed for the following reasons: it reminded me of serenity and relaxation, and it demonstrated that grass will thrive even under adverse weather conditions.

The fourth image displays a group of once-standing trees that have now clumped together on the ground. The other trees were still standing even after some of them were damaged in the hurricane.

A bird is perched on some tires in the fifth picture. I have no idea what kind of bird this is, but it was notable that most of them, if not all of them, had left before the hurricane made landfall. They came back a little while later. At this time, I ultimately noticed several of the birds coming back. My favorite image was definitely this one because it perfectly captured the concept.

Your musical theme

For this assignment, I chose the theme of uplifting/motivation . I chose this theme because many people have times where a song could lift them up even when they feel down. I like to think we all have at least one song we listen to that can make our days feel brighter. So the songs I chose were either some of my personal favorites or just songs that have a message in its lyrics that can resonate with what you feel at times. Some of these songs were also chosen based on the tone,sound, etc. The first musical genre is 

Classical/tradition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnK3kh8ZEgA 

Mozart-Symphony NO.41 in C Major . 551 “Jupiter”

I chose Mozart not only because he is a musical legend, but also because his symphonies are incredible. Mozart's tempo in this piece is both fast and slow as he transitions from one sound to another. When I first heard it, I felt upbeat because the symphony was well-crafted and well-harmonized with every instrument. I felt lighter and happier after listening to Symphony No.41 in C Major. 551 "Jupiter," and I was able to groove to the piece.

Rock:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx2u5uUu3DE 

Bon Jovi-Its my life

This song does not require much introduction because it is one that many people have heard at some point in their lives. The reason for selecting this song is because of its rhythm and message.It's basically saying that you own your life and that no one can tell you what you can or cannot do with it. This is my interpretation of Jovi’s song because in multiple instances he says” 

“I ain't gonna live forever”

“I just want to live while I'm alive”

So I think we should all take in the message of the song and live life how you want and live it too the fullest because in the end as Bon Jovi said:

“Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake”

“Luck ain't even lucky, got to make your own breaks”

Jazz:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qiz-i8flMEw 

Dr. SaxLove-Spooky

Jazz was difficult to associate with this theme because jazz is known to be more slow and sorrowful. So, unlike the previous genres, I had to concentrate on being a hearer rather than a listener. It was difficult to find a suitable jazz piece that I liked in terms of what it could present in the song. Nonetheless I really enjoyed listening to this song and it made me feel relaxed and calm.

Hiphop/rap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqLdhcPu5vk 

Big sean-One man can change the world

This song can be applied to anyone who wants to take on the world. Since its release this has always been one of my top favorite songs by big sean. So not only is it catchy but it also is a interesting song that I think everyone should give a listen to because there are a ton of melodic lines that gives you what this theme is about.

Country: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzruh76X5a0 

Tim Mcgraw-Live like your dying

I felt like this was a little difficult for me because I don't really listen to country music, so I spent at least half an hour trying to find a song, but Tim McGraw's Live Like You're Dying was the best fit out of the country songs that I could find. For this, I became a listener because there is a heartfelt connection in the lyrics about what it's like to have regret and what if you could go back in time and live the life you wanted. So when reading the lyrics and listening to the tone that Tim Mcgraw portrays in the song it gave me motivation to live the life I want.

Folk:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuOUOd5Q3Mo 

Caden’s Hill’s- Livin it up

So I chose Indie Folk for this genre because most of the time, if you listen to songs in this subgenre, they are positive. So, after searching through countless playlists on YouTube, I settled on this small band called Caden's Hills. Their song "livin it up" is somewhat motivating because it corresponds to the theme that I chose. When you listen to this song, you will notice that it changes tempo at times and has a very nice consonance throughout.

Blues:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_2FrmeV_Yg 

Blues Delight-If I had money

So, similar to jazz, I had difficulty finding uplifting music in this genre, but after much searching, I settled on Blues Delight-If I Had Money. Unlike the jazz genre, I found music with an artist singing, so I was able to identify this song based on the lyrics. Blues Delight breaks down the song in multiple ways. So, like Blues delight, we have all considered what it would be like to have enough money and what we would do with it, and by listening to the lyrics of this song, we can gain an understanding of what the artist is attempting to convey.

Electronic:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtF6Jej8yb4 

Avicii- The Nights

For this category, I went with EDM and chose Avichii because his song "The Nights" is one of my favorites. What I like about this song is that it is a masterpiece in and of itself. Overall, the song has a great tempo change, contrast, and dynamic from beginning to end.

Plotting a story

(Situation A)This story starts with a younger version of myself. I'd like to think I was in fifth grade. To begin, I recall that the day was sunny and that I was getting ready for school. I remember being excited that day because we were making clay sculptures in my fourth period art class. So, after I finished getting ready, my mother made me an egg and bacon breakfast, which I ate quickly because I was going to be late for my first class, so my mother hurriedly got her keys and drove me to school. Until art class, the first three periods of classes were the same as any other day of classes.In art class In was making a pig-shaped pencil holder for my sculpture. As class began, my teacher began to give out assignment instructions. My friend and I were partners because we had to critique each other's artwork. We were given a hot glue gun for this assignment, and this is where everything changed.(change) As my friend and I were finishing up our artwork, it appeared that my friend forgot to clean off the nozzle with a rag as the teacher had instructed, and as a result, I managed to burn my pointer finger. I wasn't paying attention and put my hand down on the table at random, and what was left on the nozzle of the hot glue gun touched my finger.I remember being in a lot of pain because it wasn't a small amount of glue, but it covered the middle half of my pointer finger. So, after a while of being in pain, my teacher, who was assisting me in trying to wash my finger in the classroom sink, decided to send me to the nurses office. The nurse applied ice to my finger and called my mother. After calling my mother, she said she'd be there soon and that all I had to do was wait and keep the ice on my now bandaged finger. (Situation B)When my mother arrived, she was concerned and debated whether to take me to the doctor, but she ultimately decided to wait and see what my finger would look like if I just put neosporin on it as well. So, after a few days, I returned to school with a large bandage on my finger, which lasted a few weeks. After a month, my finger was healed and the burn wasn't too severe, but I did end up with a strange scar on part of my pointer finger for years, which fortunately went away after using scar medication.

Poetic License

The poem I'll be discussing is titled Do not compare: what lives is incomparable by Osip Mandelstam. It was also translated by Peter France, who did an excellent job with the translation. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that this poem was short but had a lot of connotations in its text, so even though it appears simple, it definitely has an impact on the story that the poet is attempting to convey to the audience.The theme of Do not compare: what lives is incomparable is nature. I chose this theme as it is something that I have been very fond of lately and while going through the multiple selections this poem stood out to me the most.  In the poem you'll notice instantly that the poet Osip uses the first person by using the word “I”. This showed me that he is the narrator of the story. In the first section of the poem Osip says,”Do not compare: what lives is incomparable” which is the title. Breaking down the title first reveals that the author is saying that everyone's lives are unique. Nobody has the same life experiences. The following part of the first section is “I felt a kind of tender fear as I took on the plains' equality and the wide sky became my malady,” In this case, the author attempts to provide insight into how being in a vast plain of land, particularly in the middle of that plain where you can possibly see everything, can contribute to what he means by fear, as being the only person in the moment in a vast space can create that emotion.Then he describes how the sky became his malady; Because he also mentions "plains of equality" and the "wide sky," this can be interpreted as him being attached to the sky. The sky is vast, but it can also provide him with comfort but also confusion, which is similar to how the definition of malady is a disorder of the body or mind.In the second section, Osip begins by saying,”I summoned the air, my serving man, expecting from him services or news”.Osip is comparing a serving man to the air here. This struck me as a metaphor, as he mentioned how a servant or attendant can "summon" air. I assumed Osip was talking about how, because a server can bring you things, he used the server to say he wants to order air, which is why he says "summoned" by air. The next part of this section is ,”made ready to set out, sail on the arc of expeditions that could never start”. This I interpreted as the author saying that once you are released to the senses of the sky, you have the ability to explore the beauty that it holds with your eyes, and I like to think it kind of goes with the idea that you started a new journey. The next section of the poem was mostly straightforward, but it did contain some irony.To start the author says,”Where I have the most sky I am glad to roam, and a bright sadness will not let me leave”. This section intrigues me because the author uses the phrase "bright sadness." When you read this, it may appear confusing; however, when the last few words of the sentence are added, it says, "will not let me leave." So simply including that section implies that the sky brought him peace and comfort, and the author appeared to be emotional at the time because he was able to see the beauty of the sky that held him hostage.The last part of this section is,”Voronezh and its adolescent hills for the clear human hills of Tuscany”. This made it clearer what he meant when he mentioned plains and beautiful things. He had compared the two beautiful locations such as Voronezh, a city in Russia, and Tuscany Hills, and I believe this was done to connect these two cities to his words "bright sadness." Which are two amazing landscapes that he didn't want to leave behind.

The first domestic architecture that fits this phrase nicely is a place in my house that was built for family times and is known as the living area. In addition to being the only living room in the house, it serves the purpose of being the largest room in the house by virtue of its location. If you look at the first photo, you will not see that there are many holes that allow anyone to simply enter and exit the room. The building's architecture is square, but there are also additional designs in the shape of rectangles on top of the wall. This area has a window, which can make it appear lighter and more spacious. It also has a simple style but might nonetheless feel dated. Regardless, while looking at the photo, you can tell that the space was built in a style that was meant to be basic and something that appeared like a functional space for activities, which might be the major reason why this area was secluded from other regions of the house, especially since there are other locations in the domestic space that have the same function but can be used for a different purpose.

The second room in the house that I can claim serves an important function for me. In the second photo you can see this space is much smaller than the domestic interior space of the home but it still has a similar function as the first interior. In my home we refer to this space as a den.  Clearly, this area is built differently than the living room. We can see that the space in this location has a more rectangular form. This can be because they wanted to build the area to appear longer. The main difference between this space and the domestic interior is that one is enclosed, whereas the other is more open and allows for more movement. When comparing the images, the Den is smaller and has a lower ceiling, whereas the main interior area of the space has a higher and more expansive ceiling. However, both serve a similar purpose in that they are both intended to be places of relaxation. Both have a window that allows sunlight to shine through, making the space feel more vibrant and bright.Another thing to note is that the den space is connected to the living area, which allows a person to easily access both spaces without having to go through doors. To summarize, I prefer the Den over the Living Area because it is closer to my room. This could also be the main purpose of its design and location because there are two visible large entrances in this space and I can just walk in without any worries. It is also a space that I enjoy visiting because it has a warm but also calming feeling. Notably, For the domestic interior even though it is next to a window, it also has a space behind it that blocks any light from coming in and can leave the room dark at times.

The sculpture in this image, called Fire Dance, was commissioned in 2012 and was made by David Black. Due to the absence of a background, the sculpture is a complete full round sculpture on its own. Instead, it has a setting that features trees and is situated by the Caloosahatchee River with an entrance in the heart of Fort Myers. It is 25 feet tall and is intended to allow for moments of interaction between the observer and the artwork.while strolling through a jazz festival on his first visit to Centennial Park with his wife, he and his wife developed a genuine affection for Fort Myers. The sounds, the air, and the rhythmic environment, they recalled, generated a wonderful emotion that they will never forget. This was the inspiration behind his desire for the fire dance to convey freedom and openness.According to Black,”It is  my hope that fire dance will lift each viewer's spirits and deepen their sense of community”. The best nightlife in Fort Myers is known to be in downtown. Fort Myers is more open and lively at night since bars, clubs, and events like a murder mystery train are all available. Additionally, you get to see a variety of street performers. Black also made a sculpture that allows viewers to walk through it or sit directly beneath it. He suggested that doing this enables individuals to unwind and share a private moment with the sculpture. However, when it comes to nightlife, it's intended to up the energy and foster an atmosphere that gives those who wish to visit it at night a unique perspective.This sculpture, in my opinion, caught my attention since its characteristics displayed numerous dimensions. I've also gone by this work of art but never truly appreciated its significance; but, as I looked closer and learned what the name meant, it allowed me to have a connection with the artist.

Abstract Art

The title of this painting is “Artillery” and it was created by a man named Roger De La Fresnaye. Given that Fresnaye entered the military and served until his discharge in 1918, this Representational painting may depict World War 1. Since the artwork was made in 1911, it is possible that this was the situation that Fresnaye witnessed while serving in the French army as they prepared to engage in combat. I decided to analyze this particular artwork because, as I was looking through the many works of art that were available to me, it immediately struck my eye.This picture instantly conveys a feeling of unity to me.This painting shows French soldiers on horses, a chariot with French soldiers inside, and another group of French soldiers marching with trumpets. Oil was used in the construction of this Fresnaye painting, enabling him to combine it, giving it flexibility and richness. Fresnaye uses a variety of shades of color, including red, white, and blue, which appear to be the primary colors, as well as black and gray, which are the secondary and brown as tertiary hues. I get the impression from looking at this painting that Fresnaye was trying to illustrate the gloom of war, and the value of the work is primarily demonstrated in the dark shadings of the colors, which might represent sadness. Fresnaye also employed surrealism to effectively portray his current state of mind to the audience.Overall, this piece of art by Roger De La Fresnaye was something I had never seen before. It provided a wonderful introduction to cubism and abstract art and demonstrated the significance of the meaning in the piece, especially for a novice art viewer. When I was looking at it, the main emotion I experienced was confusion, but as I pieced the story together, I was able to understand why this piece of art may have been created.
