Artist Name: Yves Tangus

Title: Reply to Red

Date: 1943

Description: colourful pieces of old items put together to make it look very creative.

Analysis: this piece is very horizontal, but it is better off being a wide image so that it portrays all of the images evenly.

Interpretation: my interpretation of this image is that you have to look at this image longer to understand this artwork better, it may just look like a bunch of nothing but it has more creativity to this artwork. I feel as if, if you are a creative person you will like this artwork a lot more than someone else

Judgement: overall I really like this piece of artwork. Its just a basic meaningless photo, but it is so creative that I really enjoy this piece by Yves Tangus.

Artist’s Name: Eugene Atget

Title: N/A

Date: N/A

Description: a photograph taken of what looks to be a door or an entrance to something. This photograph has many details and is very appealing to the eye.

Analysis: this piece is very symmetrical. The length and width look to be about even. The symmetrical

Interpretation: with this photo taken by Eugene Atget you kind of get that curious feeling of what is behind the door. You can assume that what ever is behind the door is scary or weird.

Judgement: I extremely like this photograph taken by Eugene Atget. The main part of this photo is the door but the background blends in perfectly for the door to be the main point of the photo.

These artists are completely different from each other, Yves Tangus is an artist because he draws his artwork, but Eugene Atgat is a photographer which he takes photos of surreal images. Both artist have many inspiring and creative work. Both artists are also well known. The first photo is more of an creative mindset to it, but the second photo is more of an curious feel to it.
