This art work took three weeks to cut, and was specially made for the museum. It consists of two panels thirteen ft. high, and it was installed on two different floors of the museum. She said that she gave it the name of “Heavens and Hells” because she was thinking about various philosophers’ concepts. Such concepts were about free will and human responsibility. This artwork is meant to symbolize how some are born is hells, and others are born in heavens, but they make their own paths and make the opposite trip. Even though both panels are in different floors, there is no border in between. That is what makes it special, those in hell can pass to heaven, and those in heaven can pass to hell.

This artwork has the story of a spider that spins a bilingual alphabet. In the artwork you can read the words “architecture” and “active”. This was meant to represent the how English and French are similar, to the point that they share some words.

    Puryear's Art Analysis

    Looking at sculptures and paintings in person or in a museum rather than looking at them on a flat screen can drastically change the way you take in the artwork in many different ways. One good example is the Ladder for Booker T. Washington by Martin Puryear, which, in person, was vastly larger than I expected. When looking at an artwork in the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, you get to observe details and witness different focal points that you would most likely miss looking at a computer. In Mart Puryear’s artwork, size, focal point, and surroundings can be wildly miscommunicated through a photograph. Size is a very important aspect in Ladder for Booker T. Washington, which is why I was astonished on how large the artwork was in person, compared to images that I’ve seen online.…

    They say a picture is worth a thousands words I agree with that a picture can say a lot to the viewer, same thing with a painting. The photograph and painting I chose to write about is about Queen Elizabeth. The photograph of Queen Elizabeth was taken in 1952 by Beatrice Johnson and it shows Queen Elizabeth wearing a beautiful crown,a yellow patterned dress, with a sash, and diamond jewelry. In the picture the queen has a slight smile not showing any teeth because, it’s a type of picture where it’s taken serious. What I mean by that is she is someone that is well known and that photograph shows her royalty and her importance by wearing her crown.…

    Preacher Jonathan Edwards was able to give a sermon that greatly impacted others. Despite his monotonous voice and actions, he was able to strike fear into the hearts of many Puritans, solely through his diction and elaborate use of imagery. The figurative language present throughout his speech could have been represented in several ways, including an image based on his descriptions of the human relationship with God. There were many sketches that illustrated the speech by Jonathan Edwards very well; however, one sketch in particular accurately brought the speech to life.…

    I don’t think Louise Bourgeois’ abstractions are more powerful than straightforward depictions of the male and female body, but I felt Constantine Brancusi’s abstraction succeed in the task. I feel this way because I found the sculpture representation of the human genitals to be very minimal, although I found the meaning of the works to be thought provoking. For example, in the abstract sculpture,Cumul I by Louise Bourgeois, an individual can see mounds and oval/sphere shapes emerging out of the cloth. These spherical figures are supposed to represent breasts and penisis, but I found myself having various interpretation such as the figures could be bubbles or eyeball trying to break away from the fabric. I believe the artwork has more impact…

    The Rothko Chapel, located in Houston, Texas, presents a deceptively simple exterior. The ungarnished brick walls lack intrigue or grandeur, the doorway is simply a means of entrance rather than a spectacle, yet over 55,000 visitors are drawn to the location every year (YouTube). The sanctuary inside is just as plain, aside from fourteen imposing murals created by the chapel’s namesake, Mark Rothko. They adorn bare walls, constantly shifting appearance with the light cast from the chapel’s skylight (Dowell). They seem to be the only lively aspects of an otherwise static place.…

    In the story of Teresa of Avila, The Book of Her Life, Avila’s account of hell opens with her description of a narrow pathway which appears dark and narrow. The ground, she said, “seemed to…consist of dirty, muddy water emitting a foul stench…” (A Vision of Hell, and a New Monastery, 759) When Avila arrives at the end of the pathway, she describes a small aperture in the wall which is her place of confinement. Avila also experiences an inferno burning in her soul along with excruciating physical pains that cannot compete with the, “suffocation of her soul, as if her soul was tearing itself into pieces.” (A Vision of Hell, and a New Monastery, 759)…
