Art Comparison

After looking at “Interlude” by Katherine Bartel, I noticed many different objects. The main things that were noticeable from the first look were two blue chairs on the floor full of wheat growing out of it. Between the two chairs sat a white table with an open drawer. There was an apron on the back of the right chair. On the table there was a jar of jam, tray with biscuits, big bowl in the middle of the table with towel on top of it. The table itself stood against a white wall with a window right above it. There was a TV set planted inside the window. The window had a white window shade and white curtains pulled to the sides. There was a grass trim by the ceiling and white candles on the windowsill. Inside the open drawer there was an old cookbook and the big bowl was filled with sugar.

This work of art was life-size scale. The grass and all of the objects represented naturalism. Because everything was mostly white, the objects created idealism. The style was very plain.

Bartel’s piece was composed to show the peacefulness in the country. There are two brown chairs and a blue table with a black post that holds it up. In this picture there is a woman and a man sitting across the table from each other. The floor is kind of purplish color and the wall is off white. The colors are mostly cool because of all the blues and the shadows.

I think that this picture was made to represent the common all American lifestyle in the 1970’s. There was repetition of lines and repetition of white color because everything was mostly white. This piece contained mostly cool, symbolic colors. Duane Hanson did a good job projecting the meaning of the artwork. On the table there is a napkin holder, sugar bottle, salt and paper shakers, and an empty glass from ice cream. The man is wearing blue and red plaid shirt, blue jeans and brown boots. It looks like they are so in love, it creates the peacefulness about this artwork.

I think Bartel was very successful on producing of what she wanted to show the viewers.
