I'm interested in this because it is a piece that involves all of the senses. It involves elements of nature incorporated with the rigidity of a man-made structure. What was the artist's goal with this piece? Was the urban environment taken into account?

Tending, (Blue), James Turrell
The position the woman is sitting in is very reflective of emotion. This work makes me wonder why it is called "Night," specifically what event brought about this work.

Night, Aristide Maillol
This is very reminiscent of marble Roman copies of bronze Greek sculptures, womanly features, accentuated curves. Stump used as balance. CONTRAPPOSTO. Did Matisse purposely draw elements from Roman copies of Greek work? Was this supposed to represent someone specific?

Standing Nude, Arms on Head, Henri Matisse
The emotion and the beauty of the figure are what drew me to this piece. I want to know the story, the tragedy behind the woman's obvious distress and agony.
