Paint of Tranquility

‘Paint of Tranquility’

By Morris Louis 1912-1962

                                     

The "Paint of Tranquility" painting is not real art because you cannot clearly see any person or object in the real world. The painting just look like a lot of thick coloured lines. To make this painting better you could add lot’s of detail and make the painting look like something from everyday life. 

The painting is smudged with black paint in the middle and the makes the painting look like its been trashed or damaged. The painting does not have any meaning its hard to tell what is happening, there mixed emotions such as happiness through the colors, sadness because of the rough brush stroking. The painting looks like something that a young child would have created it in preschool.

There is no way of knowing what the painting really is it could be a flower, a face, a dragon, the painting is not clear on what the object is. There Is no way of proving what the painting means so the painting just does not make sense at all.

The elements of design that are used in this painting are pretty well used in this painting. Line is used well in this painting because the brush strokes are thick lines. The texture in the painting is where the brush strokes look like they might be rougher than the paper. The colors were used well in this painting because there is a variety of different colors, like red, green yellow, pink, turquoise and blue. Although I don’t see any space in the painting there is no distance in the painting. The shapes in the painting are pretty much the same lines over again.
