Hello Dear Friends,
Raphael De La Ghetto has returned to discuss art with you. Today we look at Jacob Lawrences's DAYBREAK. It's an interesting piece because we get to see a stylized portriat of Harriet Tubman. We see her tired, resting, with what seems to be runaway slaves. We get a good look at her feet based on the angle of the painting, which puts you right at eye-level with them. They are cracked, and discolored in some areas, which lets you know how worn they are. Basically we get a good idea of how fragile Harriet was, and how much she sacrificed to help slaves escape. Depth Perception and Angle are used to great affect.
Join me next week when I discuss the Travesty of Depeche Mode or the Cure not being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but including Buffalo Springfield.
