The Secret Life of Objects

"Every nude betrays its author", written by Carlo Mollino in 1959. Carlo Mollino was a very successful artist and designer. He did photography, Polaroids, and he designed furniture. Most of Mollin's furniture is one of a kind because he normally just made if fro peoples house's that he was designing for them. Mollino was very big on imagination he used it a lot when he work on his photography. He said " everything is allowed, imagination is always saved" that how he felt about photography that it was your imagination at work. Mollino did a lot of photography, but it was not tell he die that his Polaroids where to be well known. Most of his Polaroids were of nude women that he started to take in the 60's. The two piece that where at the Midway Contemporary Art in The Secret Life of Objects where Polaroids of nude women taken between 1960-1973. I really liked the two Polaroids because the two women seemed so real. The women looked so beautiful and natural like this is who I am and I don't care what you think, which was the mind set of many young people, especially a women of that time. Below is a link that shows a lot of his work and discusses Mollino's life http://www.designboom.com/world/mollino/.

Andy Warhol - 16 Jackies

16 Jackies is the piece of artwork that i had the most positive responds to. The reason that i think i liked this piece so much is because it is so simple and yet it get a point across and make people feel emotion when they see it. This piece is simple in the way that is just photos taken by the media repeated in a line and two of the lines are black and white and two of the lines are black and blue. The reason the this piece gets a point across is because it is pictures of Jackie Kennedy but they are pictures of her being a normal person not as someone that is in the media all the time. The reason the this piece is emotional for some people is because the pictures that are use of Jackie are form when her husband died.
