I enjoy taking pictures of people looking at art. This pair seems to be very engrossed with this work and I can certainly understand why as I also spent quite some time looking at all the details. It's a work by Anselm Kiefer entitled Lilith am roten Meer. It's not exactly a happy piece, but it's definitely meaningful.
On a lighter note, the weekend is here. Hope you have some big plans. I hope to enjoy the nice weather on the golf course and I'm going to see Carmina Burana. Fun times ahead!
It is certainly a work of art that demands attention. Enjoy Carmina Burana!
ReplyDeletecertainly means more there than anywhere. :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I'm looking forward to nothing so exciting. Saturday's weather is looking pretty great here, so I'll probably be out hiking.
ReplyDeleteA thought provoking piece...have a great weekend..

ReplyDeleteIt is indeed thought provoking!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking deeper than a pretty simple song, yes.

Thought provoking but not very cheerful!
ReplyDeleteAh, Anselm. We have some of his work in our museum. No wonder he has lived in France for years.
ReplyDeleteWhy no wonder ?? He still lives in France .
DeleteHave a nice week-end !
ReplyDeleteLots to pick out in this particular piece!
ReplyDeleteGreat work from the artist and the photographer. Have fun in your weekend.
ReplyDeleteSomething to ponder, that's for sure. Sounds like you have an enjoyable weekend ahead!
ReplyDeleteBecause I wanted to know more, I clicked on the title and got this. "It literally means, “Lilith on the Red Sea” which, coupled with the children’s clothes, pertains to her demon children, and the human children of Adam that were killed because she wouldn’t return to him in the garden of Eden to be subservient. This is only one version of the myth, and she has been mentioned in multiple religions, but to some people she has become a symbol of feminism, and of a woman making huge sacrifices for equality." Now it makes a lot more sense to me and I can truly appreciate your photo because it is a rather enigmatic piece of art.
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking Susan. That's why I include the links. ;-)
DeleteReally nice composition!
ReplyDeleteWatching people watch makes great photos :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking as along! I share your enjoyment of watching people watching art.Lilith is a very impressive piece of art. Have a wonderful weekend...I will be busy training my 2 new puppies! Phew!
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate Ms. Bauer's commentary as I had no idea what this was about, although I rather liked it. Striking, for sure. Enjoy your weekend and make lots of pars (and birdies!).
ReplyDeleteEven without getting up close I like the textures and scale. I agree with Susan B that it's rather enigmatic.
ReplyDeletePerfect! I like seeing people really looking at artworks.
