[photo essays | group 2]



It gives the impression of being very nihilistic, especially the hollowness of the group and the lack of identity with the missing faces. Why do I feel like I see this every day when I see a crowd?
[Pavel]

Bronze Crowd, Magdalena Abakanowicz



I'm interested by how realistic the people are and the platform Borofsky used to anchor the individuals. What happens when they get to the top?
[Sam]

Walking to the Sky, Jonathan Borofsky



I like the massive but not overbearing nature of this steel work, as if it were approachable. The crossing I-beams and rust finish is reminiscent of an old boat yard, almost an elaborate anchor. What consequences have we created for ourselves with industrialization?
[Evan]

Eviva Amore, Mark di Suvero



I'm interested in the abstract proportions, the childlike face with a woman's pregnant body. Why the unmemorable face? What does it symbolize?
[Courtney]

Pregnant Woman (second state), Pablo Picasso



I'm interested in the simplified and destroyed structure of the figures. It makes me feel as though I am in chaos and I am as fragile and closed off and emotionless as these three are. I wonder what the artist was thinking, feeling, trying to express.
[Anne]

Three Figures, Alberto Giacometti
