Since having two faces isn’t common, it, in combination with the hair, becomes the focal point of the sculpture. The scale of this sculpture is miniature reaching only 9.5 cm. The small size of the sculpture makes the intricacy of the sculpture all the more
When I first had a chance to sit and analyze the sculpture, I began with a clear understanding of what the piece meant and the explicit function it portrayed. However, the longer I viewed the sculpture the more the implicit purpose of the sculpture began to become visible. This final report will entail: the double purpose that the sculpture encompasses, the struggle between the two and my personal reflection on the assignment. The first purpose that will be examined is the explicit purpose of The Family Group that is based on the context of the sculpture, the text on the sculpture and the background of Charles Umlauf.

The author mentions in his book that this sculpture represents The Mayans ideal of beauty and perfection, with its lively features, as a perfect description of its magnificence, and components noticeably in Maya workmanship during the Classic period 200 BC - AD 900.

The illustration depicts a tattoo “artist” “disfiguring” the iconic “The Thinker” sculpture. To convey his stance, Lobbecke’s exaggerates the tattoo “artist’s” eyes and ears to make almost unhuman. These characteristics suggest to the audience that the “artist” is not of sound mind and positons to regard all people with tattoos in the same manner. To also further this generalised idea, Lobbecke’s has also drawn the “artist” in ill fitting and inappropriate clothing. Also, the use of irrelevant tribal style tattoos on the French sculpture subtly suggest to the audience that tattoos have no purposeful meaning and are culturally insensitive therefore the same can be said for their wearers.
The hand rested on the forehead of the statue resembles the pain that Fonny endures throughout the story, with his family, education system, and the justice system. The pain caused by the justice system emasculates him because Fonny is unable to fight for his justice, proving to him that there is nothing that he can do to fight for his rights or his innocence. This is resembled in the wooden sculpture by the hand covering the sculpture’s sex, what is generalized as what makes someone a man. The feet of the wooden man are similar to Fonny’s feeling toward the education system. Fonny attended a vocational school where he said “they teach kids to make all kinds of shitty, really useless things”, he followed up by saying how the people running these schools are trying to make sure that these black students in the inner city do not become smart.
The sculpture displays the were-jaguar complex of human feline creatures and deities. The image has human ears, cranium, and hands and feet giving it the illusion of a human, but the face, the furrowed brow, and the muscles illustrate the figure of a jaguar. This show the transformation of an Olmec, preferably a shaman transforming to a jaguar. It's a transformation into the most powerful predator.

This piece was used to convey the trust and hope that the people should’ve had in their ruler, this sculpture expressed the great supremacy of Naram-Sin and the discipline of the Akkadians beneath him. He was resilient enough to conquer these barbaric and chaotic people and this showed his fierceness to the Akkadians. With this defeat, it is believed that he subjected them to life as slaves and placed them beneath society just as they were displayed placed beneath him in the relief
“The Pit and the Pendulum,” the story of life and death. The narrator is sentenced to death during the inquisition, waiting for his execution, he is trapped in a dark dungeon. The narrator believes he is going to die in this dungeon which is unusual because executions are usually public. In this dungeon is a small pit in the center and a pendulum swinging from the ceiling slowly descending to kill the narrator. The pendulum retracted into the ceiling and the narrator thought he was going to live, but the walls of the dungeon started to heat up and close in on the narrator pushing him into the pit.
This piece is important because it is exceptional compared to well-known artists. It has an philosophical interpretation that can relate to viewers’ lives. It is visually unusual compared to other art because it does not have a specific subject, and the crypticness is fascinating because it has viewers thinking deeply about its meaning as they begin to understand the visuals. It is a substantial piece of art because if one is having a difficult time in life, one can glance at The Deep and feel a sense of comfort of not feeling
