This work made an impact on me as a result of the colors. The bright blue and red splattered in the way it is makes it seem exciting and spontaneous.

I would like to know more about why this is titled "Head." The title alone makes me spend some time looking and wondering how Gargallo created such a beautiful piece out of wrought iron. Where did his inspiration come from?

This sculpture intrigued me and had me wondering who really created it? We know only that it is African. I would like to know who the woman is and why they chose to make a mask of her.




Title: Metaphor and Movement
Artist: Robert Motherwell

The title of this work immediately had me wanting to know more about it. I like that it is a collage of paper and acrylic, but I am struggling to see where the metaphor lies. I felt like I was beginning to grasp the idea of movement and I really enjoyed the colors.
