This morning I've been doing a little bit more research into what images I can sue that will relate to my first essay. Although there were a lot of interesting political images I could have chosen from, I didn't want to focus too much on this theme as I don't think it was what interested me the most in the first essay. Instead I have gone for:
Myra, by Marcus Harvey:
This one relates directly to the understanding of context which was the thing I found the most interesting my essay, and also relates social value, another interesting concept I feel I could talk more about.
The Holy Virgin Mary, by Chris Ofili:
This one relates to the understanding of context and social value, as well as local profiles in terms of religion and race. This is something I only had a chance to touch briefly on in the first essay.
Bonus- It also features some nudity from the Madonna herself and *gasp* some collaged vulvas! So it also fits quite well with the essay I looked at from the college teacher who talked about her experiences with context in art in schools.
Donald Trump 'Nope'- Unknown:
This one could prove a little difficult as I don't actually know who this is by and can't find out. It would appear that loads of these reproductions have been popping up as memes and no one is owning up to them, but I would like to try and make the point that the age of reproduction is having an effect on art (like we've been talking about in the COP lectures) and that now we have the internet, art like this can be totally faceless. This image was used in one of our lectures and relates to local profiles and political satire.
