Julie Greens artwork reminded me of how amazing being able to enjoy a meal is. Personally, I think food is one of the greatest parts of life, and something I look forward to the most while traveling to different countries. Food allows you to create new memories and bond with the people you love. When I look at this picture I remember a great time I had with someone I love. I still remember how amazing this food tastes, and feeling the need to take a picture so I don't forget it.
3 quotes:
“this difference can be illustrated in terms of what was thought of as perspective. The convention of perspective, which is unique to European art and which was first established in the early Renaissance, centres everything on the eye of the beholder.” - Berger (pg. 16)
-The idea of perspective was definitely seen in Julie Green‘s art work. She painted many different foods relating back to the freed prisoners that each had a different perspective on what they would want to eat as their first meal home. The are portrayed the different perspectives of these people, and show the different views that we all can have. Art is special because it has the ability to capture different perspectives in a way that is relatable and true to many people.
“The uniqueness of every painting was once part of the uniqueness of the place where it resided. Sometimes the painting was transportable. But it could never be seen in two places at the same time.” - Berger (pg. 19)
⁃ uniqueness was definitely demonstrated in Julie Green‘s artwork. Each painting portrayed the same message of the first meal back home for the freed prisoners. However each painting of the food and their perspective was different than the other. They all had the same message but showed the unique beauty of the different meals and ideas of the people coming home for the first time.
“Being able to judge whether strangers are dangerous or not, whether they are to be greeted or ignored, rests on rapid mental calculations that compress observations into reliable clues. From physical appearance and subtle bodily gestures, we judge whether to engage with the other person or not.” - Finkelstein (pg. 107)
⁃ this quote reminded me of how wrong and unnecessary the death sentence is. Being able to judge whether somebody else lives or not should not be up to humans. We do not have the right to decide or judge if anyone should live or die. Yes they should be punishments for crimes, but many times people are wrongfully convicted and face with death for no reason. This is because sometimes we just do not have the capability to see right from wrong sometimes.
