Post #13 Nostalgia

I bet people are wondering why I have a purple rectangle on my page as nostalgic. Actually this rectangle repersents my purple pillow I had since I was about one. I took this pillow with me everywhere and when I was nine my mom took it away from me . I was so sad because that pillow felt so comfortable . I had it for so long and I just miss my pillow.

Marlene Dumas should be considered as a postmodern artist because her artwork has many of those strategeies that I have learned. She uses layering ,juxasposition , and re-contexutalization. In one picture as  it is seen on my blog there is a women with no clothes on and she has censor bars over her body parts and yu cant see her face. Its in black and white . To me that shows re-contextualization, because the picture is in a whole nother text. She also is a good artist and should be given more credit.

Post #11 :Moca ((Website))

The artist I chose was a women named  Marlene Dumas. She was born on August 3,1953 who was born South Africa. Right now she works in Amsterdamn, The Netherlands. I chose her because while looking on the website http://www.moca.org/ I found some very interesting paintings that she worked on. I find them different and a part of the subject content we are learning. Like one picture is layering and has appropriation. I find her special because she is women and I have read how hard it is for women in the art industry . So for her to have art work and be none its is cool.

Post # 10 :Stereotypes and Cliches

This is a picture of a women with a bra and some sexy underwear on. I chose this picture because I am a young lady  and I want expand on these kind of stereotypes. Some men put women into catergories such as sexy , hot , fat ,ugly dumb blonde, ghetto hoodrat. We are just toys to some and really that is not the case. While some women may use sex appeal to get by others may think all women are the same. For example, you cant get anywhere if you arent skinny ,have little chest, or just a little backside. You wont get most jobs as a women. As women we have to take that extra step that many dont see us take . In this picture there is a women who is pretty ,but men won't see past that and that's hard to break.
