image essay #4

This piece by Christophe Vacher illustrates extreme drama. The Main object in the front is obviously the point of focus, but the smaller object in the background gives the piece depth and movement. Movement is also illustrated through the clouds. The black foreground color illustrates movement as is fades lighter and eventually to the tan-white and then maroon at the top.

This piece leaves you with a very little idea of what the artist is trying to illustrate. I believe the piece hold little or no meaning, and that the artist was only trying to create an eye pleasing piece. It could also maybe have something to do with growth and knowledge in that the smaller structure in the back could be your past and that larger structure in that front could be you as you are now. At all times you were/are free spirited. The smaller versus the large structure could demonstrate what you should keep as important, meaning you should focus on the present time or the future, while keeping the past in memory.

My eye tends to start at the dark green in the foreground, and then moves back to the lighter green. From the lighter green in the background my eye moves up to the tan/orange and finally to the red, while on this path I notice the large structure in the foreground and eventually the smaller structure in near the top right hand corner.
