Presentstion Response #2

The two artsts (or groups) that I picked to talk about are George Grosz and the Guerrilla Girls.

I thought that George Grosz was pretty interesting because of his subject matter. He really seemed to combine the dark side of things with the more pleasurable things. Although his paintings were pretty graphic they never really seemed emphasized (except for this self portrait, but that's different). His works seemed almost like they could exist in todays world with maybe the same types of characters and color schemes, but I thing the perspectives of the landscapes and objects within them would probably be better, a few things seemed almost impossible, or like they were floating.

The Guerrilla Girls seemed almost like a rebel uprising. With the name spelled like guerrilla as in warfare and not gorilla as in the monkey type thing really helped. because guerrilla refers to like surprise attacks or using unusual people, and with the masks and the seemingly harmless signs they seem to accomplish surprise attacks on people. The fact that they use old art and just edit it shows their knowledge of art history, and the having people all around the world only helps their influence.
