As our teacher had promised, we made a brief visit to Mohatta Palace, a well known art museum where anyone can easily find tremendous yet amazing and inspiring art creations. Therefore, we went there and we were given a quick task to analyze any one of the art pieces we think are the best. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures inside the museum and this makes me blank about how the art 'actually' was. Therefore, right now I just have these questions answered.
The artist's name is Mehreen Murtaza and the name of the art itself is (which is basically a collage) Anthology of comic snippets series: The architect.
Questions and their answers :
Q-What is my first response to the work?
A- I was at first confused of what was the initiative behind such an art as it was politically controversial and critical too, but then I realized it is a perspective of what artist is trying to define.
Q-What is the title? Does it help illuminate the work?
A-The title was Anthology of comic snippets series: The architect. To me, the title has almost truly illuminated the work.
Q-What do the clothing, furnishing, accessories (swords, clock, etc) and facial expressions contribute to the settings personality?
A-This question is rather a limited one and may not apply to this sort of an art, as it was a collage. Although well designed, this collage did not really consist of any special accessories or furnishings.
Q-What is the focus of the composition?
A-The focus of the composition is towards history, defining it from a biased view. The composition relates to one of the most well known personalities of the region and the society and as well as some of the actions occurred either by that personality or through that personality.
Q-What is the purpose of this piece?
A-According to how I perceive this art, the purpose of this art is to highlight a misunderstanding which some parts of the society do not realize yet or maybe, just to highlight the misunderstanding.
Q-What is the medium? Does the medium have significance?
A-The medium was basically a type of photo paper. It has no significance.
Q-what effect does color have?
A-Again, this questionnaire itself is based on a perspective, therefore, on me the color played a great impact. Primarily because it was based on history, which they inner grey scale scheme supported with and secondly, the red scheme for the stage curtains made a huge impact on what I can perceive from the art.
Q-Is the size of this piece important?
A-The size of the piece may not be considered important as far as things are clearly visible. This is due to the fact that primarily, this piece reflects history and probably one of the major events in history. There is nothing unique about this image, except that it is entirely a different version defining what has been described in books.
