The connection (or lack thereof) between subject and artist as well as subject and viewer can determine so much about a work, so it was good that you noted this. <br /><br />I agree with Lizzy that double checking some of the grammar within your writing would be helpful, but I would also add that some of your word choice also feels a bit broad. By using some more specific language I think you could push your analysis. For instance you mention that he "emphasized the physical presence of the models extremely" but was this emphasis just for the sake of pointing it out or was it glorifying their size? vilifying them? <br /><br />Overall an interesting read!

Freud's thick textures and and built up layers of paint are part of what make them so amazing to experience in person. The bodies become more than just bodies, giving his subjects depth and vulnerability that give the viewer a more intense and intimate experience with the work. The only thing I would say is maybe to double check some of the grammar/sentence structures. Great job!Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730969746636096732noreply@blogger.com
