“It’s uniqueness is part of the uniqueness of the single place where it is”
I agree that the environment of a piece of
painting is highly important. If it is placed on a white wall or cluttered wall,
it will give the piece a different message. An example shown was paintings of
angels have significance when they are in a church. It shows and brings more
importance on its holy aspect. But if a small angels are placed next to a
picture of kittens. I would this the artist was aiming for more of a cute vibe
then Holy.
2.)
“Music and Rhythm changed the significance of a picture”
I never really noticed how impactful music can
be on pictures. It can change the meaning of a picture immediately. Van Gogh’s last
painting did not seem sad to me until the music started playing and it seemed more
of a lonely picture. This also made me think of scary movies. Music has a big
impact on scary movies. I remember a teacher said to mute a scary movie and all
the jump scares are not as scary. The buildup of the music is what makes you
believe the image is scary. It could have been just a stuffed animal falling but
because of the music a person is riled up.
