From a formal perspective, "Pescador #2" is an abstarct painting from the twentieth century with some influence of the cubism style. The artist has an innovative style by emphasizing on the draw-out faces and hands not proportional to the body scale. The exaggerated hands express the hard work. The artist was influenced by Oswaldo Guayasamin, where most of his paintings had exaggerated hands on them.
Contextual Theories: The painting doesn't says anything about the government and the culture.
Expressive evaluation: Roel wanted to express his passion to fishing. He exaggerated with the hands because he said the hands were the symbol of Cuba and that the hands has given them freedom. The warm colors makes you emphasis on the fish as a contrast with the cold colors, and also to show his passion for fishing.
You have nice formal and expressive descriptions, but I think that the fishing industry does relate to the culture and economy of the country, so you could have more to say in the contextual theory section.
ReplyDeleteI searched for contextual information too but it only says that the artist painted this picture because he likes to fish since he was a child. The artwork could has influence from the fishing industry or from the culture, but on my reserch I did not nothing related to those facts.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what is the date real date when the picture was created?
