Analyzing Rita Letendre's Sun Force

Decent Essays
The piece that I chose from Rita Letendre is called “Sun Force”. I chose this piece because it symbolizes a critical change in her style. I made my painting about my graduation day when it felt like I had many feelings exploding inside me. Furthermore, this was her first large scale painting so she did not have any experience with painting on that building wall. Just like her I don’t have much experience in painting, specifically with watercolour, which is why I ended up using the wrong type of paper too. With her painting I admired how much contrast there was with the black and yellow, so I tried to mimic that by having a black background. Also, I really liked how many of her paintings were simple, abstract, layered yet held a lot

    During the decades of coketown industrialization, profits flowed to the factory-owners, and wealthy entrepreneurs who made up a small portion of society. As a result, workers worked in harsh conditions, and faced constant poverty. The significance of Fordism is that it gave workers higher wages, spreading the prosperity of industrialization to the masses, and marking the beginning of consumerism. J. R. McNeill describes this best when he writes in his book Something New Under the Sun “Ford saw that sharing these gains with his workers suited his own interests…he paid laborers enough to buy a Model-T… They enjoyed an affluence and leisure that in the nineteenth century would have required an army of household servants” (Pgs 316 & 317).…
