Image Essay #8


This image was composed by Mark Tansy a very well known artist. He is known for his monochromatic images. This is a monochromatic image done with shades of blue. The image is that of the Wright brothers testing there plane designs. The only difference is Tansy decides to use his artistic freedom and make the plane a little more inventive. It looks like a flying creature of some sorts. The hills fade from dark to light creating the illusion of space. Notice one other thing; there is a paint bucket and a little stool in the bottom left hand corner of the image. The seat could be were the Tansy say to paint the flying creature. On the other hand, the seat could be for you, the artist. As if he were saying u can paint what ever u can imagine. Giving u artistic freedom to change plane into what ever you desire it to be.
