The Ghent Alterpiece by Jan Van Eyck. This piece of art is a great example of an artist giving meaning to the immaterial. The dove in this photo represents a higher power or a greater spiritual force looking down on the land below.
Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol. Most of his works of art especially this one demonstrates how artsits make a visual record people, places, and events of their time period. His work of Marilyn Monroe captures not only her but what she stood for in her time which was female power and beauty.
Kansai International Airport Passanger Terminal by Renzo Piano. Many works by Renzo are excellent examples of how artists make functional objects and structures more pleasurable and elevate them with meaning. this is exactly what renzo accomplished with this structure.
Ladder to Heaven by Yayoi Kusama. This Installation piece of art demonstrates how artists help us see the world in new or inovative ways. Her works of art make the viewer feel like there is greater meaning in the world. It gives us a sense that there are greater forces than humanity in the universe.
Mother and Child by Pablo Picasso. Even though some of his works are abstract in design they still hold meaning to them. This piece of art may be slightly abstract but the meaning behind it is purely Aesthetic. The love between a mother and child is captured in this painting and can be said to be very beautiful.
Catch and Release, (Please) by Rebecca Salcedo. I feel that this work of art is a perfect example of the term Kitsch. Its very over the top and distasteful in a way but still an interesting concept. Its the type of art the makes you tilt your head and just wonder....why?
