An excellent analysis as always Kevin. It would seem the artist Akabanowicz was for the most part emotionally unstable or at the very least had 'issues'. Akabanowicz depiction of the women is very interesting and revealing as you pointed out in the scupltures only being visible from the back. Excellent job Kevin, and it is nice to see someone who can use the term 'penis envy' in the proper manner. Freud would have been proud.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an insightful presentation! It's amazing how things that happen in our lives maybe negative but can also make us stronger and maybe make us a very successful person in the future. Kevin, you have very nice details into this piece and your thoughts on it was priceless. This was a great power point presentation!
DeleteI loved your interpretation of this piece. It is very unique and I definitly get the sense that Magdalena was trying to make a point in her art. The work does seem to not be gender specific and your thoughts match very well with the depiction that she portrayed. There is a lot of emotion in this artwork and I am glad you picked up on it!
ReplyDeleteI also thought this was very intresting when I was at the Nelson. I also got the "army" feeling with all the rigid headless figures. You presented this very interestingly with the front shots, rear shots and through the trees. Interesting how the backs of the sculptures were carved out, like where they were going was important but not where they came from. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteWow great job Kevin. You packed so much research into this presentation that I feel like I personal know Magdalena. Great job interpretating this piece. I have great understanding of this work that I could not have without you.
ReplyDeleteKevin, great job on the details. My first impression was of a headless army, but your research of the artist showed this possibly was much more to the artist.
