In week 11's Animation context, we had a tour to the Manchester Art Gallery. There are hundred and thousands art collection in the gallery. The following photos are the arts that I interested.
Vase
I really like the colour and engraving of this ceramic. The pale blue of the porcelain set off the tone of purity and naturalism. Not to mention the exquisite carving. The bottom of the vase revolved around two naked men, who seemed to be supporting the top of the vase. Each inch of their skin and muscles are carved in great detail. This is a gorgeous Jasperware!
Bestie
The reason that I liked this piece of artwork is the horse looked very feminine and unique. Usually, the horse people see in the life is characterised by an athletic and muscular feeling. However, this one isn't. It's been covered with a circular pattern of black lace, which is particularly mysterious and unique.
Eva Tempted
This painting depicted the temptation of Eva from the Bible story in the book of Genesis. As we can see that the naked figure of Eve strands beneath the Tree of knowledge on a carpet of blue, white and yellow flowers and grass, with one hand leaning against the earthen bank behind her, the other reaching up over her head to grasp an apple.
On the left, a blue serpent with a hideous human head and red hair, entwined about the trunk and branches of the tree whispers temptation, in the form of steamy breath, into Eve's ear. (referred from http://artuk.org/discover/artworks/eve-tempted-206097)
Roses
This is one of my favourite painting, the combination of beauty and death. Obviously, we can see that this is a rose from its leaves. However, this plant does not breed roses, but skulls. Those skulls look very creepy and thriller. It conveys a tone of death spreading in the midnight. I believe this is very novel and easily to attract the people's attentions, it is thoughtful.
