Art is like a window to the mind, representing how one thinks or what one feels. In some cases, it may contain elements from one’s unconscious; elements that even they are not aware of themselves. Art has zero qualifications, allowing it to be crafted by anyone and everyone, while still containing components of its creator and provoking feelings in its spectators. (Rustin, 2008)
Of the pieces involved in the Best of the Season exhibit at the Webber Gallery, Lunch With Einstein by David D’Alessandris is one of the more “unusual” pieces. It contains four figures, whose heads seem to be taken from elsewhere and pasted onto their bodies. The right-most figure is Albert Einstein, seemingly in a blue dress with his left arm in a white sling. Additionally, his arms and upper body have a horizontal corrugated texture (similar to cardboard), while his lower body has a vertical corrugation. The figure to his left is a female wearing large sunglasses in a red dress; she seems to be patting Einstein’s back (or otherwise holding his right shoulder). Her texture is …show more content…
It is a more traditional oil painting, depicting a scene from roughly the 16th or 17th century.

A few may be seen carrying swords in a scabbard in addition to a couple who seem like guards. At least four white tents are visible in the background, with people moving among them. One tent in particular is flying a flag, containing the colors black, red, and yellow; possibly a fictional flag. To the right of the main tents is a wooden structure: a single wooden beam held up by tripod-like legs on each size. In front of the construction (nearer the viewer) is another small white awning, and even nearer are more people, obstructing the lower view of the wooden structure. The far background is dominated by green foliage.
