    I ponder that the artist created the artwork to give the audience a mystical feeling and to question them on “how was this artist influenced to create this Print”?, as well as the meaning and symbol behind this. Another question which may be evoked is “Was there a true story or place where this image occurred in “Margaret Prestons” life? In my opinion other people may react to this artwork as a place of relaxment where maybe Margaret Preston has visited. This may have been her favourite hide out or place to visit. As I examine this artwork I envisage it as an appearance during the 80’s due to the matured paint/colour fading away.…

    They are too small beyond recognition, so viewers can just make out a figure. Some artworks that impressionists in the 19th century created share some commonalities with this painting. Impressionists depicted the nature with phenomenology excluding political, social, historical thought. They just focused on nature itself, so people are usually cropped or are represented by blurry silhouettes. The big difference from impressionism and the distinct feature of this painting is that what the artist wants to deliver is small philosophy, which is harmony between humanity and nature.…

    It is enriched in deep contrasting oil colors such as deep reds, greens, blues, and flesh-tones. There is an almost forced focus with the obvious use of dark and lights (the cavalier is extremely highlighted while his companion is deeply shadowed). From observation, it seems to be your very typical Baroque painting from the seventeen hundredths where colors were dramatically exaggerated to provoke emotion and express passion in extremely contrasting styles, but it also incorporates symbolism, (much like Vanitas still life). There is a distinct distance between the two figures, in which a skeleton is observing the two men. Not only does the skeleton linger above the drinking men, he is also holding, what seems to be, another skull in his hands and an hourglass in the other.…

    Edward Hopper’s 1927 oil painting, Automat, shows a lone woman sitting in an automat and through Hopper’s use of color and geometric structure, he depicts the loneliness and despair of this woman. The main focus of the painting is a single woman sitting at a table gazing down at the table where her cup is at. The woman is dressed very nicely, she is wearing an emerald green coat with brown fur trim and a yellow cloche hat. The brim of her hat appears to have been pulled down, slightly covering her face, and she has on only one of her gloves.…
