Art Flashcards
A painting done between the summer and autumn of 1953 in New York, which depicts isolation - both physically and emotionally - by creating contained, impersonal atmosphere.
Office in a Small City - Edward Hopper
A series of works done by an artist who paints over his own body to ‘blend in’ with his backdrop, seeming to be invisible. These pieces were originally made to represent how invisible the citizens felt amongst the Chinese government (an example being when they had demolished the art district he had worked in in 2005).
Hiding in the City - Vegetables: Liu Bolin
A visual drawing of a woman churning stardust to feed to a caged moon - painted when the artist was exiled from Spain (during the Spanish civil war) to Paris where they eventually moved to Mexico. The segregated moon represents how the artist felt in Mexico, as they were not as welcoming towards European artists; and the stardust illustrating the concept of hope transforming into an opportunity.
