click to add title
I'm realizing as I analyze my painting that the title plays such a crucial part in forming my interpretation and analysis on an artwork. This could be related to the discussion we had on captions and additional notes and information on specific artwork sometimes provided by museums or art critics, but titles written intentionally by the artist are a different story, no? I know we're supposed to analyze the image but the title gives so much insight that I cannot ignore it. On that note, good luck to all those with untitled artwork!

I agree with this so much. The title of a work immediately sets the tone for the rest of the artwork. Sometimes I will write off a painting or work of art before I see it based on the title. Lauren Winkler
ReplyDeleteIt's all about how language and arts go together. If one doesn't fit, the other doesn't either. Even just the title of a paper you write can make or break it.
