Field Trip #1

"Fantasy of Figuration"
Created during the later 1990's
Created by European and American artists

This art work "Fantasy and Figuration" shows a personal illustration because the artist gives out a "physical and psychological details of human character". It is a 3-dimensional illustration that shows how humans act or work on a regular basis in the late 1990's. Even without the faces shown, you can tell their expressions by the way they are working. This European and American artists might've had this experience which is why this illustration was built. You can tell some struggles shown in this illustration as well, where the child does not have clothes on and his/her face is being wiped. 

"Flower Festival: Feast of Santa Anita" 1931
Diego Rivera
Mexican, 1886-1957

This painting is showing the Mexican tradition in the years of the Mexican Revolution (1910-20).  Diego Rivera paintings are concerning the "history and social problems" of Mexico. In this illustration you can see that the people are kneeling down in front of a person that's holding a big pot with flowers which sort of indicates a type of Mexican tradition. There also people behind the person holding the green pot looking at the ones that are kneeling down. This illustration can be more about a religion in Mexico and the people kneeling down are worshiping what they believe in. 


"Departure"
Max Beckmann
 Frankfurt 1932, Berlin 1933-35

This painting shows a historical event although the artist was in denial about it, it sort of shows the Renaissance event. The picture is able to show torture to people and what were done during the Renaissance. It is a response to Hitler's Germany. The people are being tied up and on the left side it looks like the person is being hurt. The Renaissance is one of the most known event in history that was never forgotten.
