Subversion in Surrealist Art

For art we were to look at a different kind of art, subversion done by a surrealist artist named Giorgio De Chirico. Starting off we have a thumbnail sketch of a painting of his:

The Mystery and Melancholy of a Street, 1914

The idea behind this painting seems to be around kidnapping and other shady immoral things that happen the the shadows of normal life. The wagon in the picture is hidden in the shadows and the darkness makes it hard to see what's inside the wagon. The shaded out girl and ominous shadow on the road add another aspect to the thought of kidnappings. The painting contains a lot of dark colors and tones making the painting seem more darkened and spooky. The supposed time setting of the painting is dusk just before it becomes night, perfect time for things to go bad.

In comparison to Tracey Tawhiao the painting shows a similar sense of something being covered up. Both their art seems to talk about the things that aren't completely moral but nobody cares on the larger side of the equation. For Tracey the larger side of the equation is the large of people that only know English. For Chirico it is more towards the fact that if someone does get kidnapped only family and friends will care if they are or aren't found.

Bird Drawing

 Progressing forward in art we now have to take and draw photographs that are in theme with our theme. My theme is birds

The drawing is unfinished so I will talk more about it when it is.

Enbarkment Towards The Watching Of Peter Rabbit 2

 I traveled the great distance to the cinema to embark on the wonderful adventure of Peter Rabbit 2. What I picked up is that selling things and then stealing them back is a good way to make money. The popcorn was highly tasty with a great cinema style butter flavor and the fellow, but snuck in, M&Ms were equally as tasty but both were depleted before the end of the film. A film I would highly recommend for the aspiring thief as that is a big part of the plot. It is superior to the original film due to it's increase in the harmment of oblivious, braindead, McGregor style humans.
