Annie Leibovitz ~Charise J (240 ART)


( Paloma Picasso, Paris by Annie Leibovitz on artnet )



Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz was born in 1949. She first started to paint when she was in college but after a family trip, she was intrigued with photography. She started to work for Rolling Stone in the 1970s, while still in college. She worked with celebrities and wanted them to take photos to express their personalities in any kind of way. After awhile of doing photography, her work was in a museum in Washington, D.C  which resulted to her being the first female soloist to be putting their work in the museum. 

This photo was chosen because the topic of this week is "Color & Light" in my class. This was the only interesting photo that I could find that had a color or light pop out to me. The color red is what stands out the most in this photo and others could say that red is a color that could stand out in any photo. Since Paloma Picasso is in the center with a bright red dress, she becomes the focal point instead of the dog since the dog is also in the center but lower. If she had on something that was dark, then she wouldn't be the focal point in my opinion because that would blend in with the almost everything around her.

(  Wolfgang Tillmans | Artnet  ) Wolfgang Tillmans   Wolfgang Tillmans studied in England at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design. He studied for 2 years in the early 1990s. He was a gay pride photographer and became the coeditor of Spex Magazine. Tillmans had later won the Turner Prize which resulted to him being the first and non-American photographer to earn one.  This photo was chosen because of the color of the reflection. The reflection is much brighter than the actual flower and this makes me want to try to get a photo like this. The flower is seen as a short one in the vase but the reflection is different. The reflection shows that it looks like an actual rose but in yellow. Because of the material of the gold flower, the reflection shows more lines. This makes the rose on the wall look like it is outside in a spring or summer area with the sun shinning brightly. This photo also gives out good vibes because of the color and style that the reflection of the gold rose

Irving Penn ~ Charise J

  ( https://loeildelaphotographie.com/en/reflection-on-irving-penns-photographs-after-dinner-games-new-york-1947/ ) Irving Penn Irvin Penn was known for his still life, portraits, and fashion photography photos. He studied at Philadelphia Museum School for Industrial Art for two years in the 1930s. Around the 1950s, he opened his own art studio, which had made him grow more popular over time. His work on Still Life was more of it being abstract because of the volumes and lines of the objects. Most of his art work is being shown in museums in the United States and Europe. This photo was chosen because it reminds me of how Still Life could just be anything. But you could make a bigger image out of what was used. For this one, it shows me tea time while playing a game, but for rich folks. His other Still Life's like this also have a meaning behind them. But when he uses objects to make a Still Life that isn't like this, it turns into an objects. For example, his other type of Stil
