    This painting is a powerful image that represents the reality of many Afro-American families of the time. Contrary to “Good Night Irene”, this painting shows a more two-dimensional perspective in which the shapes and lines are sharper. The members of the body, such as arms and neck, look longer than they should be, but that rather than look artificial creates a continuity in the picture. As well as in the last painting, this one is very realistic and natural, the shapes are not ambiguous or dubious so for the admirer is easy to identify what the artist wanted to express. In terms of technique, the strokes and lines in “Good Night Irene” are very defined, and in “Lynch family” are too.

    In the image of "Going to the Olympics, 1984" by Frank Romero's, he was a noted muralist and pioneering Chicano painter that loves to paint. What I see in the image is a bunch of cars just driving down the streets enjoying the weather. Some of the possible meaning of all of these images is to express how you feel in the paintings. Also the symbols I see in the image is hearts in each car to show that everybody is enjoying the nice weather while they're driving. What Romero might feel about our city's car culture is that he loves it.

  • A Rhetorical Analysis Of No Trespassing By Banksy

    964 Words  | 4 Pages

    “No Trespassing.” It’s a message that we’ve all seen before, on street signs and on fences, but that most of us stopped considering as part of our daily lives. These signs just sort of blend into the background, no more noticeable than a crack in the sidewalk or a plain, solid-colored exterior wall. On the ordinary brown-painted brick backside of a bar in San Francisco’s Mission District, a bold, red No Trespassing sign is the center of a piece of thought-provoking street art. Below and to the right of the sign are some run-of-the-mill graffiti tags: pale yellow spray paint forming illegible words marking the territory of a gang or juvenile delinquent.
