Japanese Culture of the Postwar Year 1945-1995
Takashi Murakami
“Wall Wailing” by Marlene Dumas
In the month of March
we went to the MOMA it wasn’t my first time their but it had completely changed
since I was a child. I truly enjoyed the field trip it helped understand the lecture
videos a bit better. Not only did it open up my eyes in the way I view are
because that everything their was drawn but their was also hand made masks and
an artist who recorded themselves about their daily life. I can honestly say that I enjoyed this field
trip .
The first artwork
ill speak about is called “Wall Wailing” by Marlene Dumas. This art to mean
shows historical identity. This artist is from the south and she is
representing how back in the days they use to line up African Americans and do
really heavy searches to them for no reason. It seems as the men searching them
worked for the government like police officers or something.
The second work of
art is called is Japanese Culture of the Postwar Year 1945-1995. I
see this art as cultural identity. This is because you can really feel the Japanese
presents the poster has. I feel as the artist wanted his culture to be know and
seen all around the world but this painting is truly not only about culture but
also bout the second war and reconstruction. I say war being in the poster you
can see a crying solider on a corner. Theirs a lot going on but its all power
and ties in very nicely.
The third piece of artwork that I feel
completely in love with is what I consider individual identity. The artist
Takashi Murakami has created many paintings, drawings, sculptures, ect. This
art to me says something beyond the fact that the artist misses an individual
but that the artist has brought more than just the of art and drawing to it but
their personal life in to it as well. I love this drawing because it shows the
artists creative/ childish personality. It shows that an artist can have an art
identity that’s muliti cultural.
