This image has a brown over tone almost as if it was black and white. It looks as if it was just a regular photo of a girl from a foreign country. As you look deeper you see there are two different sides to the women in the center. One thing that deters from this image is that it is hard to make out the writing in the background and I feel that would make the whole composition more interesting if you could really read the text. Although, the abstract shapes in the foreground and background make up for it.

Showing the woman in the center from two different angles and inverting the colors makes me think that the identity is about how country’s can be so two faced. Every one seems to be very nice and polite on side, but behind closed doors some people act completely different. It has to be a different country because the girl is some sort of bandana, and her hair seems to be styled with some kind of jewelry.

I like the image because it reminds of dream but yet it is very real. Some the aspect displayed in the image are confusing. But it makes for an interesting image and adds to dream like feel through out the image. Even though this was not best image it was the one I was attracted to the most.

This piece is composed of thick, bold, aggressive brush strokes, with very earthy tones. The earthy tones contrast well with the lady who is abstractly depicted in the center of the image. The artist did a great job of catching his emotion at the time he was creating the painting; it is very evident that he was angry.

The identity is some what skewed by the bold brush strokes, but it depicts the crazy/monstrous side that women posses. If I had to guess I would say that he was breaking up with a girl when he created this work of art. The earthy tones normally suggest calm and maternal feeling. Which leads me to believe that image is about woman.

The face on the figure in what attracted to me this image. It reminds me of monkey, but then I noticed that it was on a woman’s body. Also I like this image because of the uses of the womanly earthy tones and contrasts it with a monstrous image. Earthy tones normally catch my eye simply because they are so versatile, you can make a dark image or happy image. Or like this image some were in the middle.

This image is very intriguing. The image has very strong lighting from the top left corner, and all the shadowing helps support it. The fruit has a vibrant glow that really helps capture your eye. Overall the image is composed very well and everything is spaced out in a way that keeps you interested in the image.

The Identity of this piece in somewhat mysterious. Its seems like its saying that the apple does not fall from the tree. But at the same the shaded creature in the bottom right hand corner makes me think that it is saying that everyone has a secret, or something to hide.

I relate to this image because it is dark and eerie, and isn’t that easy to distinguish the true identity of it. This is not one of those images that you take one look and understand it in its entirety. You really need to stop look and analyze this image to fully appreciate it. Which draws me in and makes me like the more and more I look at it.
