Theory on Visual Arts

Can you guess what this is a picture of ? If you guessed a part of the Brooklyn Bridge then you are correct ; This picture by Georgia O'Keeffe makes me think of how New York keeps its power and stay connected with all bridges in particular and not only the Brooklyn Bridge. I also think of this artwork as Brooklyn and Manhattan's doors to the "kingdom" since the two openings look like big doors you would see in an unrealistic movie and the kingdom would be how you can explore both places without much hold back. Lastly I think the white cables on the side of each bridge represent to show that Brooklyn and Manhattan will try to keep you safe without you falling over the easily but, after years of keeping safe more problems and issues are going over the cables.

To represent my theory as I said before the 2 big openings could possibly represent how big New York is and the freedom to explore like a kingdom. I also said that the white cables could show how we as a country try to keep people safe from things but then a turn of events rips through just how someone committing suicide could bypass the cables to their death. With my theory on the connection of the 2 boroughs I think it shows how we as small towns? stay connected even through far distances in all situations.

The real world connects to this art and although its simplicity makes it hard to refer to , you can still make your own observations and theories to the painting and compare them to the artist which makes this painting interesting. Connecting this to humanity I would say this painting shows that we take our country for granted sometimes without realizing the freedom we have , unlike a lot of other countries and by staying connected we gained power over the years and became recognized as one of the greatest places to live in.
