Creation 10

This is a painting by Renoir and is a very bright and colourful afternoon landscape of a park or field. It is also a poster for Warburton’s bread. The reason for this is because I instantly thought of a picnic when I saw this painting, which reminded me of sandwiches, a very common thing to take on picnics. I did not mess around or alter anything of the original painting, as I thought it was perfect and didn’t need changing.  I then found the Warburton’s logo and put it in the bottom right corner. I then made an orange rectangle in the top right corner with the same shade of orange as the original logo. Inside this rectangle I wrote “Warburton’s for your picnics”. The reason behind the huge and loud text was because Warburton’s like to have a lot of impact in their adverts, which is what I tried to replicate. I chose a personal favourite font of mine, Langdon, and this created the effect of two text layers. I then made the word Warburtons much larger than the rest of the sentence, so that Warburtons would stand out. I then moved the logo and the text to the left, as it was blocking a lot of useful space on the right, such as the two people near the water. I think this works well with their own tone, as Warburtons are loud with their adverts, which is what I have done by adding bright orange to a painting with only blues and greens. 

Creation 9

This is a poster for Horlicks, a malted drink. I used a Van Gogh painting again as I saw the perfect opportunity for a poster. I imported this painting into Photoshop, then desaturated it, as it was too rich in colour and contrast and would make it hard to read with text. I then put the Horlicks bottle into Photoshop and deleted the white background. I put it into the empty space of this painting and chose to add some text. Whatever text I wrote, font I chose, colour I picked, it would never be readable. I did not want to blur the image, because that would look bad considering it was a small image. In the end I chose a stroke, as it was easier and looks better than plain text. The purple on the outside is a relaxing colour and isn’t too harsh on the eyes, whereas the white text is very easy to read and doesn’t cause problems. The reason I chose Horlicks was because warm malted drinks like this are supposed to make you fall asleep faster and help you relax, and it has worked on many people. This is why I thought it was a good idea to incorporate this drink into this painting of two people sleeping in the hay. Also, if they were sleeping on a bed I may have chosen different wording, but sleeping on hay makes you think they have been doing hard work, which is why I wrote “long day.”

Creation 8

This is a very simple poster for Skittles and used the painting of Georgia O’Keefe to make it possible. It is very clear what the image is trying to say and is very simple. I first found the image and opened it in Photoshop. I raised the saturation by a little bit and also got rid of some noise that was in the original image of the painting. I then added a blur at the top so that the text would be easier to see and would not distract your eyes. I then added the word Skittles, but did not use the same font, as I do not have Helvetica 95 Black. I did, however, have access to another version of Helvetica which had the same bold effect, which was a lifesaver in this case. I added a stroke, as I saw on their wrappers they have many different effects I was not about to reproduce. I simply added a stroke and a drop shadow to add a 3D effect and to make the image look a little bit more professional. I then skewed the image by holding the Control button and pulling on one of the transform points, creating a skewed effect. I made a very slight alteration then rotated the image, to replicate Skittles’ style. I then added the same style of text underneath saying “Taste the rainbow!”, and gave it all the same effects. All in all I think the image works, as there is a clear link between the two and makes that quite clear. 

Creation 7

This image is a poster for Hartley’s Jam and is from a painting from Renoir. I found this image while browsing for pictures from a different artist and stumbled onto this. I thought it would make a great poster for strawberry jam, as there are strawberries painted by the artist. I first begun by adding to the saturation by a very small amount, then by selecting the strawberries and creating their own copy layer. I then raised the reds saturation on this layer, to make the strawberries more vibrant. I then found a Hartley’s Jam jar and took off the background. I then added many effects and Photoshop filters to it to make it fit into the painting, which took me a very long time to get right. I then added the jar into this painting, which then took me a while finding a good place for the jar. I then added text, and thought of no better than white to make it visible. It also matched very well to the image. I used the words ‘there’s always time for Hartley’s jam’, because this again makes the company feel like a person rather than a company, and makes the poster more approachable to the viewer. I added this to the corner because I felt there was no better place to put this text. Overall, I think because there is a direct link to the jam and the strawberries, the image is a lot stronger. 

Creation 6

This image was created from a painting from Renoir, and is a poster for Haribo. It is a painting of what seems to be a girl looking at the painter, so I thought I could add to it. I very simply found a Haribo packet on the internet and added it to this image. I then edited the painting by raising the saturation a very small amount. I then selected the hat from the paintings and made this a copied layer. I then raised the saturation of the reds, so the cherries would have more of an effect on screen. I then did the same with the green section, except I lowered the saturation of the greens so the text was more visible. I then added a sans-serif typeface and left the image alone for a while, concentrating on other things. When I got back to concentrating on this brief, I noticed that the sans-serif typeface was too serious for a sweets advert and didn’t match the tone I was trying to send out. I found some bubble text on the internet and added it to this poster. I then spent an extraordinary amount of time tinkering with the positioning of each letter and the colour of the text to make it stand out and be visible against the background. I think the image came out quite well, as the text is readable and the atmosphere of the image is very relaxed. 

Creation 5

This image used The Persistence of Memory by Dali to promote Aero. I really like this painting and thought it would be a waste of an opportunity to not use this painting and the ‘melt’ area of this image. My first thought was pancakes, and began to find a pancake logo. Once I found a pancake provider, Hungry Jacks, I realised that pancakes and melting did not really have that much in common. I then decided to do chocolate, one brand that sprung to mind as soon as I thought of chocolate. Aero have always created advertisements saying how their chocolates melt in your mouth, so I thought it would be a great idea to add Aero into this painting. I found the Aero Logo and put it into the painting. I thought it would be a good idea to put it in the back of the image and make it look like it is coming out of the light near the back. Because the back of the logo was white, my job was made much easier. I added a layer mask and rubbed out the edges, then proceeded to rub some parts of the actual logo out with a low opacity to make it look faded. Now it looks like it is there naturally, which is the effect I was going for. I then added a very elegant font to the painting and added very simple wording to keep the poster simple. The words read ‘mouth-meltingly good’. These words may not be grammatically correct in some sense, but works very well when creating food adverts, as people at home like to see companies as normal people instead of huge companies. I made this text green, as it matches the bubbles in their logo and is their signature colour as well as contrasting well with the background. I then made some final adjustments to the painting where I made the light parts lighter and the darker parts darker, i.e., playing with the levels function of Photoshop. I think this is a very simple image and works well in promoting Aero. 

Creation 4

This is a poster I really like purely because of the use of colours and how they matched the scene. This painting was also created by Van Gogh, and is of a wheat field. I instantly thought of Weetabix, as they are a wheat grain cereal. I first made the saturation and contrast higher on Photoshop before doing anything else to it. I then found a very high resolution image of the logo, and then put that into Photoshop. Because it was a professional logo image, it was very quick for me to delete the background and put it into this painting. I then added some text, and had to think of something that would be inspiring, as the cereal is a breakfast food and is supposed to energize you. I also wanted to create this in a bold font, as that would really send the message of waking up and to get rid of sleepiness. I chose Bebas Neue, a very bold font, and made the text yellow, the same as the wheat field. I then added a drop shadow onto both the logo and the text. I added a drop shadow onto the logo because it gave it a less tacky feel and the drop shadow on the text so it would be more readable. I really like the use of colour that was used by Van Gogh, and I also like the way my yellow text combines with the blue night sky. Everything contrasts very well in this image and works perfectly. 

Creation 3

This image is very different to many others in the collection of images, as it uses a collection of images to make it all make sense. I decided to incorporate Starry Night by Van Gogh with coffee. The reason behind this was because Starry Night has many swirls in it, and reminded me of coffee, and some of the pictures of coffee, where there are intricate designs made into the coffee. I began this by finding a picture of a coffee cup, specifically at an angle that looks at the coffee. I then cropped the image more to the right for two reasons. The first reason would be so that the coffee cup would be in one of the points of the Rule of Thirds. The second reason was because I needed more space for the text without ruining the image by making it look crammed. I did this by using a slightly different effect for adding to an image. I selected an empty space of the table, then added it to the black space of the cropped image and stretched it out, making an unnoticeable stretch effect. I then began finding text for the image. I did not want to create too much text, as that would ruin the simplicity and minimalism of the image. I found the logo of Nescafe and put it into Photoshop. I then inverted the colours, as it was in black, then cut it out and added it to this image. For the decaf part, I found a font online that resembled the Nescafe font, and then added it to this image. This was when I began to add the Van Gogh painting to the image. I created a clipping mask for the coffee cup and instantly the painting came through. I blurred out the ends of the coffee, as the selection was not perfect. I then found a good spot for the painting to come through and placed it in position. I then blurred the edges of the edges where it came through, so it would not look too harsh. This is when I decided I would not add anything else to the image, as it was fine like this and did not need any more words. 

Creation 2

This was created after I found one of Turners paintings. I edited it very slightly to match the colours I was going to be using, then began with the compositing. I thought this image would be perfect to promote fish, since there was a river, a boat, and land all around, which all adds up to a nice village that makes great fish and chips. I then thought of Young’s fish, as their logo is in the style of oldern, traditional design. I found a box of the fish online on a slant, and then added this into the image. I then added a drop shadow very subtly, to make to blend more into the image. I put this in the left corner, as it makes the eye flow better. I then added their logo in the same way, except this time I added a slight glow to make it blend more, as it had very sharp edges. I made it quite small, as I did not want it taking the majority of the image. I then added text, which says “Fish from the finest seas.” This is also in a serif typeface, same as the last one, but this one looks more casual and more pub-style rather than a very posh serif typeface. I centred this and made sure it was the first thing the viewer saw, as I put it in black. Overall I think all the objects I composited into the image work well and suit the image. The blue and red contrasts with the sepia tone of the image, making you look at the box and logo. The black stands out the most, as there is nothing going on up there in the image, which makes great use of space. 

Creation 1

This was the advert I created for Flora after finding and editing Vincent Van Goghs painting of sunflowers. I thought it was quite original since I had never really seen anyone else talk about the link between Flora using sunflower oil and the painting created by Van Gogh. The image is packed full of yellows, darks and lights, as well as some green. The image basically shows the bowl of sunflowers, with the Flora logo in the bottom right and the text in the bottom left saying “The healthier option.” I think this text is a good addition and fits well with the theme of the painting, without being too loud or brash. I created this on Adobe Photoshop CS6. The way I did this was I cropped the image longer than it should have been at the bottom. I then used the clone tool and cloned the colour above. This was made really easy, considering there was not anything that was going on underneath and instead of replacing a composite, I was simply adding more. When I had finished cloning the bottom, I found Flora’s logo on the internet in a high-res image. It was a PNG file format, which meant that the area behind the logo that did not need to be seen were not there, which made it easier for me to put into this painting. It took me a few go’s to get the positioning and sizing right, but I got there in the end, making it big enough to get to the bowl but not too big to be an eyesore.  The text also took me a few tries, as I struggled to find the correct font and colour, as well as sizing and positioning. In the end I decided on a serif typeface, in the corner of the image. I made the text pure black, but lowered the opacity so it would be less harsh and suit better with the image. Overall it was a very simple procedure and works well, in my opinion. 

Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh and his work had a he influence over 20^th century art, as he was a major Post-Impressionist painter. Many people learn about Van Gogh and his name is one of the many names you hear first when learning about art. He created portraits, self-portraits, landscapes, and many more. H drew when he was a child but did not begin experience with paint until his late twenties. In the last two years of his life he created the best pieces of work he had ever created. In a little over a decade, he had created more than 2,100 artworks, an astonishing amount.

This is a painting by Van Gogh and is a painting resembling a café. The first thing you can see is the warm glow of the café probably lit by lanterns, and this lights up the entire part that the balcony overlooks the street and acts as a shelter for the rest of the street. There are many people sat on chairs underneath the shelter, as there is seating available. You can also make out a waiter taking orders. There are also some people walking along the street next to the café, and are illuminated by the light and warm glow of the café. There is a lot of detail in objects you don’t look at, such as the detail into the houses that are dark and not illuminated by the light. Van Gogh put an extreme amount of work and detail into this work, which is the reason why it has so much depth. I especially like the night sky, as the shade of blue is perfect and the stars he created to create the perfect night look very good. Overall, my favourite element of the painting is the lighting and how Van Gogh used it to change his image.

This was also created by Van Gogh and is a painting of a wheat field. I really like this image as it is very swirly and has many brush strokes into each swirl. The colours are also extraordinary, as they blend so well together and mix even better with each other. The whites in the sky are very bright and really make the swirl effect, as the sky would just be a strange shade of blue if not for the white. There is a large tree on the right of the image, which is painted in Van Gogh’s signature style of brushstrokes. Next to this there is a lot of greenery, as there are many bushes and leaves. Beneath this is a wheat field and this is a golden yellow. He has made it look like there are many by adding small short strokes, and has made them look long in length by painting long lines where they begin. This also gives the effect that they are moving and flowing in the wind, which would also explain the sky and why it looks so swirly. 

Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse was a French artist and was well known for his ability to use colour in an extraordinary way. He was a painter, printmaker and sculptor, but is known by just painter. He was regarded as one of the three faces that defined plastic art in the first few decades of the 20^th century. His use of fluid colour led him to develop his own style in the 20^th century.

This is a very famous piece of work by Matisse, and is called Dance.  At first I thought it was some happy celebration, as people are holding hands and spinning around. If you look at the person in the middle bottom, you can see they are falling. This leads me to believe this is not some happy celebration, and may be a ritual of some sort, as it looks like they are dragging her while they are standing fine upright. The message changes drastically the way you see it, which is why art is all about personal interpretation. The colours are quite neutral and don’t really stand out, as the blue and green are dark and don’t stand out. The skin colour stands out a lot against the blue and green, as it is lighter than them, and this is why you can only see the dancers. They are also naked, which is also the reason why they don’t lose the focus of the painting.

This was also created by Matisse and is a very simple collage. It was created when Matisse was too ill to paint anymore, and was confined to the bed. He was able to tear the paper, and told his assistant where to place it. Matisse said he was able to draw in colour, as usually he would draw then outline then colour it in, but with this he could paint in colour. This piece is very bright and is quite vivid with colour. Even though there is no depth to this image, the saturation of the colours is still very high.

Pierre Auguste Renoir

Pierre Auguste Renoir was a French artist and an important figure in the Impressionist movement. He was famous for creating vivid paintings of nature and of people. He was the father of an actor, a filmmaker and a ceramic artist, as well as being a grandfather to another filmmaker. Needless to say he inspired many people, even within his own bloodline.

This painting is of two women in a boat, and is a bright and cheerful painting. First of all, you see the brown boat against the light blue water, so that makes the boat stand out. You then see the women sitting inside the boat, who are wearing white. The painting is, I think, of a rich life in the olden days. There is a boat in the water being pushed using the oars by two women in the boat. The two women are wearing white, which is a link to the white boat with sails behind them, and the large mansion behind them. If it was a different colour the women would not look as if they belong with the rest of the white environment. The boat is in some sort of river or lake and is not very far to the house. There is nothing complicated about this image and is very simple in telling you what is happening

.

The title of this painting is “Luncheon of the Bating Party, and instantly you get a sense of higher-class people in this painting. There are many people in this painting, which gave me a strange effect when I was searching for this image on the internet. When I only glimpsed at it, it reminded me of a hyper-realistic painting, as the two men in the hats at the front of the painting look very realistic. Everyone is doing something in this painting, which makes me like it so much. The girl in the front is playing with the dog in her hands, who looks startled, a realistic experience. The man in the hat on the right looks like he is in the conversation with the girl next to him and the man leaning on their chairs. Everyone is doing something and is talking to someone else, which I think is an incredible amount of detail to be able to put that in a painting. The colours in this painting are very defined and work very well with each other. A lot of things look blurred out, but that is simply the way brush strokes were at the time. It seems everyone in the painting is in a tent, and that there is grass all around them. The tent flapping in the wind is one of the reasons it reminded me of a hyper-realistic painting. 

Laurence Stephen Lowry

Laurence Stephen Lowry was an English artist and was born in Stretford, Lancashire. As he lived in Pendlebury for 40 years of his life, many of his paintings and drawings depict areas and buildings from there. A lot of his work also depicted Salford. He was famous for painting everyday life in the industrial districts of North West England in the mid-20^th century. Because he created so many paintings he developed a certain style and the people in his paintings were then known as ‘matchstick men’. As well as painting landscapes full of people, he also painted dark, mysterious and unpopulated areas and marionette works, both of which were found after his death. 

This is a landscape painting that is crammed full of people, and looks like some sort of a festival or celebration of some sort. The sky and the ground are both white, which feels and looks like snow to me. However, he painted like this in all his paintings, so perhaps there was never any snow and he just created a style where he did not try to paint the sky or the ground. In the centre of the image you see a block of houses that are at different angles, and have paper and string stuck up on the walls, definitely indicating some sort of celebration. There are also people everywhere and this also gave me a chance to see the famous ‘matchbook men’ effect. In the background there is a huge hall of some sort, which is grey, and also has many people outside of it. As you go further back in the image things tend to get faded out yet still has the feeling that everyone is celebrating something, and it is not just in the very front of the painting. 

This painting is by LS Lowry and is showing the market town of Manchester. I personally think this image looks a little bland and desaturated, outside of the matchstick men, who are quite high in saturation. You can see many people forming around the markets, indicating it is probably a busy day in the market. There is a lot of colour yet also a lot of white, which takes up most of the image.

Georgia O'Keefe

Georgia O’Keefe was an American artist and was quite famous for her works relating to Modernism. She came to the attention to New York Art community in 1916 and ever since had excelled in the world of art. Her paintings of enlarged flowers are her most famous works, as well as New York skyscrapers. She wanted to be an artist at the mere age of 10, and studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1905. She has been called “The Mother of American Modernism”.

This is a close-up painting of a flower, and first astounded me when I saw it. It is truly amazing to see so much detail and to paint each part of it onto a canvas. I like how the painting is incredibly vivid, and there is just so much saturation in the painting. A lot of O’Keefe’s work is of a high saturation, as it helps visibility and attracts attention much faster. The reds and yellow come out much stronger in this painting, as this is due to the flower she is painting. This is the reason why I like this image so much, as the red and yellow contrast very well and draw your eyes to the centre of the painting. This could be seen as a traditional style macro shot of a flower, as it is very close up. The colours also fade very well and are hard to see where they begin. There is also some purple in this, adding to the variety of colours without being too bold, a perfect amount. Overall I think this is an effective painting and looks very well made. 

This is an image I very much like, not because of the giant skull hanging in the image but because of the colours used and the way the oil painting looks almost like a comic. She and many other artists and musicians at the time wanted to express their work in a very patriotic way, a way that incorporated their country into their work. Instead of being a traditional oil painter, and doing what all the Regionalist painters did, which was paint landscapes of the American country, she painted a weathered cow skull to symbolise the endurance of America. I like the way the blue fades from the flag a little, to make room for some white, which is also a colour on the American flag. There is a shocking amount of detail in the cow skull, which really adds to the effectiveness of the painting. Everything in the background is very simple and the only detail is the creases in the flag, yet when you look at the skull there are many crevices and small details that she managed to perfect. I think this a very eye-catching image and sums up the old American West perfectly. 

Barbara Hepworth

Barbara Hepworth was an English sculptor and artist and her work resembles Modernism greatly. She is very famous for a lot of her works, ‘Family of Man’ coming to mind. She was born in North England, Yorkshire, to be precise, and was among artists such as Naum Gabo, the constructivist, and Ben Nicholson in St.Ives during World War 2.

 This sculpture is called Winged Figure, and was created in 1953. My first thoughts were that it was extremely abstract, and was a shape of the mind put into metal. There are two parts of this sculpture, both of which bend inwards. They both have holes inside them, both different shapes. I think it is supposed to be a very fluid motion frozen in time, so is supposed to look like it is morphing. In the middle, there is a jumble of wires, metal sticks. They are all strung from one side of the sculpture to the other. Winged Figure is a very difficult object to explain and analyse, as it very abstract and requires more visuals than text. I can see why she would call it Winged Figure, as it does almost look like a creature, almost like a bat. I know from research that the final sculpture has been cast in aluminium and the rods have been replaced with stainless steel. Overall I like this piece of artwork, as it looks amazing and leaves you wondering where her thought process was at the time she thought of this sculpture. 

This sculpture is quite futuristic, or at least, what futuristic was 20 years ago. There are many rounded shapes here, as well as sharp edged shapes, giving the viewer a sense of variety. I like how each set of sculptures look different and have different shapes within them, as there are sometimes squares with holes in them and at others just random pieces. Everything looks strangely organised, even though it can also been as disorganised. When I say organised I mean it feels very forced and that someone has placed all of the objects specifically in that order, yet can still look like random pieces of the sculpture were placed on each other. The colour of these blocks are grey, and don’t really stand out, but they don’t need to. This is because instead of an oil painting, this is a sculpture, and will be the first thing you will see if you walk into a museum and see old art. 

J.M.W. Turner

Joseph Mallord William Turner was an English landscape painter, watercolourist and printmaker. He was deeply involved in the Romaticism, the movement that spread across Europe near the end of the 18^th century. He is mostly known for his oil paintings, yet is still regarded as one of the greatest masters of British watercolour landscape paint. I see his work as both an art of nature and abstract, as the movement and use of colour between the both cannot be told apart.

This piece is very colourful and is something that would attract your eye instantly on a page. The reason behind this is because it is full of amazing shades of orange and yellow, and these are usually associated with a gleaming sunset or some sort of explosion. The sky is more orange than blue and most of the water is quite light. A little off centred to the left of the painting is a ship, and looks a lot like it has oars coming out of the side. If you zoom in on the image you can make out people on the ship, which explains that it is not a navy ship and is a people-carrier. If you look even closer you can begin to see a stream of people all over the ship, as there are people covering most parts of the ship. The main sail at the front of the ship has people climbing over it, and is holding onto it. I do not know the significance of this and it may be in reference to a particular battle or event in history. There is an immense amount of detail put into this painting, which definitely does not look as detailed if zoomed all the way out. I think there is some smoke around the ship, which is the reason why I think this painting was in reference to a certain battle, which can explain the people holding onto the ship. For me, the best thing about the image is the sunset, or sunrise. The sheer brightness and the vivid orange pouring through the image is a wonderful sight and catches your eye instantly.

This is a very quiet painting compared to the last painting, and is much more relaxed. When I say quiet I mean very calm and has no bright vivid colours, leaving your eyes to look around without sticking to one thing. This is a painting of a great sight; a lake just before a huge mountain, with a fair amount of fog in the air. It also looks like sunrise, which may be the reason why Turner did not saturate this painting with colours and kept it simple. I find it extraordinary how I am able to see it is a foggy day and that it is sunrise simply by looking at a painting that was painted decades ago. As the colours are much more desaturated, it leaves your field of sight to look at the entire painting rather than one spot, which is what I like about very light, desaturated paintings. You can just about make out the blues of the mountain or the sky, and can definitely see it in the lake. You can also make out a lot of green in the grass, which is one of the examples of Turner’s attention to detail. I think he chose not to put extremely bright colours in this painting purely because he is showing the early morning, when the day is not in its prime and the colour still yet to shine. Nevertheless, I still like everything about this painting, from the ripples in the water to the edgy brush strokes of the fog.

Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali was a Spanish surrealist painter and was born in Catalonia, Spain. He is most known for his stunning and bizarre paintings, as well as the optical illusions found in his work. His most famous and most widely seen work, ‘The Persistence of Memory’ was completed in August in 1931. He was no only confined to painting, and worked within other industries, such as film, sculpture and photography. It makes perfect sense that a master of many subjects in the art field had a highly imaginative mind and could be called unusual. His eccentric behaviour and actions in public made him more famous and gave him more attention, resulting in a wider audience and is the reason why he and his work are so popular today.

His artwork was something the world had never seen, and he truly became one of the world’s leading artists in surrealism. He has many famous pieces of work but the one that caught my eye was the “Old Couple or Musician” piece he created in 1930. This is also one of the first optical illusions I had come across earlier in my life. In my perspective, I saw an old couple at first, and are very close to each other. As I look at their eyes, I see the hats of the musicians, and this is when I first see the musicians inside the heads. I then see a man in a sombrero playing the guitar with his legs following the shape of the old man’s chin, whereas on the other side there is a woman looking at the man playing the music. The woman seems to be holding something above her head. Once I see this, I cannot get the musician and the woman in the hat out of my head, which is why it is hard for me to see the eyes of the old couple. You can slightly see the old man’s eye, but really need to concentrate and block other things out to see the old woman’s eye. Everything fits in place and the arms of the woman and the musician act as the noses of the old couple. There is also a woman stepping out of an archway, which acts as the old man’s ear. The entire image looks breath-taking as there is so much detail and really makes you wonder how much planning or how much foresight Dali had before painting the final. I really enjoy looking at this image, as all the small details are amazing. The moustache on the musician works as the top lid of the old man, or the left side of the woman’s face acts as the old woman’s eye.

This is also a wonderful piece created by Salvador Dali, and is so original compared to a lot of other work in the 20^th century. Then again, this is surrealism, which contains all kinds of psychedelic works of art. Back on topic, this work of pure magnificence takes your breath away, as it is packed full of bright colours and is just wonderful. For me, it is the blue sky that makes this picture so wonderful, as it reminds me of real life, and how the ocean is a vast and beautiful thing of nature. I just like how much the image gives you a view of such greatness. Another thing you instantly notice is how the sails on the ship are in fact, huge butterflies, which is so amazingly quirky and unnatural yet works so well and does not look forced or tacky. There are also men or some sort of beings in the left of the painting, on a rock, and seem to be cheering for the ship. They are holding sticks with what appears to be flames on them, and another man is bent over and is looking at a huge butterfly wing. Another butterfly has landed on the water, and is supposed to add some form of personality to the butterflies, to explain that they are still living beings and are not decorations, and can still move around. This entire painting makes me feel as if this is some totally different world, where everything is completely random yet still natural.
