I attended the Harlingen Arts and Heritage Museum. In the museum, I saw the exhibit by Mario Godinez called “Visions from a Subconscious Mind.” I chose “Corazon de Andy” by Mario Godinez. The media is acrylic on a 24 x 36 canvas. “Corazon de Andy” is an art piece that shows political and religious statements. The visual appearance of the art is very colorful and has so much space around the heart. Mario explained why he used bright colors in the painting, “The fact that I use bright colors? That’s just to attract you. But once you’re there and you’re having a one-on-one with the artwork, then you get to find out a little bit about yourself” (Moyer). There is so much space around the heart making it the only thing in the painting. The principles …show more content…

All the monsters in the painting could relate to your own inner demons. In the painting, his eyes look tired and sad which I thought the reason was that he is tired of his inner demons. There is also a pair of hands looking that it is praying to God to help in the left corner. In the painting, there is a blue orb in the middle which might symbolize the third eye. In it, there is an explosion which might symbolize a war because of the U.S President. There are also teardrops all throughout the painting which might mean sadness. At the bottom of the painting, there is an owl which might symbolize wisdom. In the top of the painting, there is something that looks like an infinity sign. That might mean people will always be fighting their inner demons. An individual’s role and ability to change the world is that they can shed more light on mental illness and health. The political issue in the painting that I identify is in the blue orb in the middle. In it, there is an explosion which might mean a war will come. Mario has said that the use of the third eye in his paintings is because it “symbolizes the awareness of what was to come” (Moyer). There is also a pair of hands together praying. Grapes are also in the painting which usually represents Christ. The painting is showing that praying to God will help you in time of

On Friday, October 2nd, I visited the Wittliff art collection at Texas State University. I was very excited at how much art I was going to see as I made my way to the 7th floor of the Alkek Library, which is where the Wittliff art collection is located in. Sadly, with all of the artwork that was displayed, I was having trouble deciding on which art pieces to write this critique on. However, two certain 2-D pieces caught my eye. Out of all of the displays in the art collection, I ended up choosing Keith Carter’s photograph and Kate Breakey’s painted photograph.

There was a focus point which is Saint Francis. Although the painting mainly consist of black and tan colors, the slight bright colors to balance of the black. This help bring out the details, such as the blessing on hands and the kneeling of people. Yet, the details were not too big that it would be too much to handle. This helps get the message across to the audience, like myself.

The whole painting is in black and white which gives it a lugubrious tone. The angle of the portrait allows the audience to see the facial expression of each person in the painting. Both African American males have a sort of grin on their face, which shows that the painting is in favor of them. The communist, KKK member is depicted as a skeleton that is weak and being destroyed. The man that is stopping the communist member from hanging the little boy has a banner on that says CRC, which is a representation of the civil rights congress standing up for the rights of African Americans during that time.

The painting depicts what seems to be a panoramic view from afar but looking closely each aperture and objects make up the impressions of faces. From the left side there seems to be an aperture looking over a big cliff with branches of trees. This cliff and branches make up the face of an old person. The rock exposures within the cliff form the illusions of wrinkles, wrinkly lips and a long and untreated mustache. The branches give the effect of baldness, contributing to the overall appearance of an old man’s face.

What we see depicted is a burial in one portion of the painting and then heaven – with a small representation of Christ, on the upper portion. Thus, suggesting we have two focal points creating an unbalanced feeling. This, unlike the High Renaissance, was a goal of Mannerist art. With the lower ensemble, we see realism being used when drawing the figure; however, the figures in the upper portion of the image are very elongated. An example of this would-be Saint Peters hand (behind the virgin Mary); visually the hand looks long, and droopy.

In the painting, Jesus had just declared that one of his apostles will betray him, which explains why all of the men to the right and left of Jesus seem to be in a state of disbelief and are talking amongst themselves. Judas is to the left of Jesus holding a bag and clearly spilling salt on the table. The bag that Judas is holding symbolizes the thirty pieces of silver he was paid to betray Jesus. Also, Judas knocking over the salt is another sign of betrayal. Lastly, Judas is positioned lower than the rest of the apostles and his face and body are shadowed.
