"unknown"
Nathalie Bertin
Though the name of the art work is unknown to me, and so is the medium (how its made). I find the way the lines were smooth, lean, and curved helping the horse's appearance to look more natural. The shapes I mainly see are circles, triangles, and ovals. the textures that stand out to me is: the texture of the horse's hair, the and the slight roughness in the horse's coat, there's also a texture to the mask that leaves the illusion of the mask being coarse. The colours that the artists chose for the horse's body and the background make the horse's body almost pop, it obvious that the horse is a general focal point and no doubt the most important part of the artwork.
The more specific focal point for me is the horse's shoulder then after my eyes travel up to it's face. the asymmetrical balance is pretty well balance. the light is coming from off the left boarder. the darkest place is the underbelly of the horse. nothing that i can see in the artwork is repeated.
The art depicts a horse jumping with birds behind it, what the artist is trying to say, I'm not really sure, but the emotion I get from it is confidence, or the feeling of being free. I find that the artist wanted to have realistic aspects but the colours, background, and birds make it seem almost dream-like, to me. the way the art is done i feel like its expressing an emotion but its an emotion I'm not sure how to describe. Even with the free look and emotion, its clear that the artist took her time and was concerned with the lines, shapes and colours that she chose.
I feel like this drawing is mainly emotionalism, and imitationism, even though formalism is definitely there its way less visible. All in all I do like the art and I find its a really well done piece of artwork. I think my favourite part of the whole drawing is the unity of it, nothing really seems out of place.
the end.
