This photograph was taken by Hans Bellmer.  He has a quite...unusual aesthetic in his images but I find them to be really interesting.  His division of the body parts as well as the garish colors he presents are a way interest the viewer yet disturb them at the same time.  It is a very different and interestin approach to the figure.

This image was taken by photographer J Bennett Fitts and I chose it because it really reminds me of bridgets work.  The division of space and the geometry is really nice though im not entirley sure what he is trying to say. His series was entitled industrial landscapes or something along those lines but I hope it really isn't that literal.

The Piss Christ by Andres Serrano.  This image is intriguing to me because at first glance with the image and the title you just think he is mocking religion but there are many other levels to not only this image but to all of his work.  This is a dye destruction print and im not really sure what that means but I would like to know how that relates to his imagery and the rest of his process.

This image was taken by photographer richard Misrach.  Now upon first glance i didn't really like this picture, in fact i would say i hated it.  But after looking at it for a while it really began to grow on me.  The simplicity of the composition is really well done along with the pale muted colors.  It all just seems to work for some reason and i really like it.


This image is by photographer Ralph Gibson. sorry it is so small this is the image I wanted and I couldnt find it any bigger.  I just love the mystery within this image why are there hands on the boat, why do they seem like they belong to two different people, why a cannonball?  I also like the strangeness of this composition at first glance you are not sure what to think of this image it is really quite intriguing.

  
I chose this image by Lisette Model because 1. I am writing about her for lenticular vision class and I feel that all discussion about her and her work will be helpful to me and 2. because i just really like the look and feel of the image.  The gestures of the women, the way the shape in the back of the image connects the two figures the discomfort in the look of the woman on the left .  All of these things contribute to my attraction to this image.
