Still Life- Photography (a) Contest Entry
I took this shot huge sculptures placed as a Still Life at the Hamilton Outdoor Sculpture Museum in NY. I wandered into the opposite side of place to catch the reflections in the small pond and add my own sensibility to the dramatic still life sculpture. I have added some light effects to aid the beauty and drama to the image.
Camera: Canon SX130IS, stanard setting, handheld, outdoor, image cropped and resized to FAR requirements.
Enjoy!
'Dance, is a large decorative panel, painted with a companion piece, Music, specifically for the Russian businessman and art collector Sergei Shchukin, with whom Matisse had a long association. Until the October Revolution of 1917, this painting hung together with Music on the staircase of Shchukin's Moscow mansion.[4]
The painting shows five dancing figures, painted in a strong red, set against a very simplified green landscape and deep blue sky. It reflects Matisse's incipient fascination with primitive art, and uses a classic Fauvist color palette: the intense warm colors against the cool blue-green background and the rhythmical succession of dancing nudes convey the feelings of emotional liberation and hedonism. The painting is often associated with the "Dance of the Young Girls" from Igor Stravinsky's famous musical work The Rite of Spring.
Dance is commonly recognized as "a key point of (Matisse's) career and in the development of modern painting".[5] It generally resides in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, but was loaned to Hermitage Amsterdam for a period of six weeks from April 1 to May 9, 2010.[6]
