My initial impression of the image is that it is a picture of a race riot copied four times and colored to look like the American flag. By changing the color of the picture Warhol might be commenting on the subject matter of the race riot by saying that it doesn’t matter that the people are black or white everyone deserves to be treated the same. Maybe Warhol feels that this picture is the best representation of America at that point in time. It is most important for Warhol to imbue this image…

grass blades. They’re everywhere, and show up in many different topics. Even when given the same information or base knowledge, people can form different opinions. People can have completely different ideas about what a painting represents, although they are seeing the same painting. This is due, in part, to the different perspectives that people view the world with. It also has to do with the emotional response that art and something like ethical choices elicit in a person.

Motion / Emotion is a collection of dark ghostly creatures, dangling limbs and lingering scenes. “Messager works across painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and installation, and the exhibition includes pieces from her early career up to now. Messager’s works reveal a keen interest in humanity and its fragile, emotional core.” From entering her exhibition and walking through, I feel as though each piece embraced new and different emotions.
