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.

Some of Elijah’s “best work” was of his Book of Wood which was a book of individual scenes that ended up telling the story of Jesus. This work is important to the statue because it ties the over sized book behind Elijah to the entire sculpture.

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 was found in separate pieces, and it was only in 1998 that this carving was fully assembled and restored. The subject of the piece is of a composite creature of a feline-headed human figure, that stands 11-inches tall, that was believed to even represent a shaman or sorcerer. The Lion Man was carved out of mammoth ivory; and for this time period, the process to create this piece was quite laborious of splitting the tusk, using a flint blade to scrape and incise details (such as the striations on the arm and the muzzle), and using powdered hematite to polish the final piece. The sculpture was created to be viewed in-the-round and appears to be freestanding, but due to poor preservation we are unable to tell if it really is freestanding. As for functionality, sculpture was a less common practice during Prehistoric times, but due to its mobility aspect it was believed to hold totemic

From sculptures and paintings, to various architectures, art can come in many forms. An artist has a reason behind what they chose to incorporate in their art. Works of art can illustrate various cultures, politics, economics, religion, and ideologies of specific stylistic periods. Art can be used as propaganda, as well a way to record historical events.

this new law that was put into play. They mentally examined some of the new free slaves and figured out that the two main things that they needed improvement on were education and independence. Due to the fact that the white people really didn’t want educated slaves, but just pure obedient workers, made the slaves fall behind on education. The reason I think they said independence is because due to having a boss or plantation owner running the show and telling the slaves what to do for so long, I believe that some of the slaves lost their way of independence and got so accustom to taking orders from a higher authority.

The purpose and meaning of these statues completely change when they are put on display and ironically, their value decreases.
