| This painting was made by Roy Lichtenstein, it is an American oil painting on canvas. It inspired me and caught my eye because to me it portrays a form of sex appeal. The way the girl is holding the beach ball and having her mouth open like that makes the photo look like it was intended to be sexual. Roy pirated this picture from an advertisement he saw in the Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania and recreated it as painting version of the techniques of comic book artist. |

| This portrait is a Frida Kahlo painting titled My Grandparents, My Parents, and I (Family Tree) the painting was illustrated in 1936 with oil and tempera on zinc. Learning about Frida Kahlo in class has made me extremely interested in her life and story. Learning about her life and struggles has opened my eyes and although she went through a lot she always remained brave and strong. In this family tree, Frida depicted herself as a fetus in her utero as a baby in her childhood home. Frida embraced her Mexican culture in what she wore and in her art. She explains her European and Jewish cultures as well. She continued to explain how her father was German born and Jewish and how her mother was Mexican. Frida took great pride in representing each of her cultures proudly. |

| This painting caught my eye immediately. This is a Francis Picabia painting called "The Spanish Night," it was illustrated in 1922. The picture shows a silhouette of a nude woman covered with abstract targets and she and the male are covered in bullet holes. This painting has a very strong look to it and Picabia has a very interesting features in this painting he used not only oil paint, but also enamel paint which gave the painting a form of shine and it helped the picture stand out. To me this picture represent woman being targeted for many things like, nude photos, what they wear, how they talk and maybe even how they think. I would like to think that this painting has a message behind it, which is why the painting has such a strong illustration. |
