I know I needed to change some of my images in the second essay and do a more modern piece to compare with Mr and Mrs Andrews, but I was struggling to find something relevant that focused on the same themes of
- ownership
- land
- power
- art as a display of culture
- art as a display of wealth
I discussed ideas I had with Pete in a 1 to 1 session and I now have a few good options of images I could use that I have been briefly exploring before deciding which one to use in my final essay
Hockneys logo for the sun
- not a focus on hockney but on the sun in the same way a lot of the focus in the essay is in mr and mrs andrews not gainsborough himself.
- a big company employing an artist to appear a certain way (parallels with mr and mrs andrews)
- using a well known artist to appear cultured
lloyds of london building
- interesting to compare architecture and discuss similarities
- art still being used to put forward a message or an image
- design being used to showcase wealth
- cultural power and wealth, forward thinking
- imposing, modern, expensive
- architecture being used to display a message of power
queen by Annie Leibovitz
- the most visually similar
- similar tones in the sky and expanse of land in the back
- royal birthright symbol of power
- traditional values
- sumptuous luxury clothing and settings
- some intriguing differences = a woman portrayed as strong and powerful, the artist is also a female
- new media of photography, how have visuals changed and what similarities exist between the mediums
