Henri Matisse and Susan Rothenberg

This canvas painting is made by Henri Matisse and it is drawn using oil.  This art style is sorta abstract because the other people around the boy is far away.  I depict that the two other women are the teachers.  And also is it just me or is that square object in the middle is a window?  But when I look closer is abstracts me to thinking that its not.


This is another canvas painting but its done by a different artist named Susan Rothenberg.  I felt as if these two paintings were both abstract.  The painting is called The Ponytail but it looks like the a women face in a side angle vision.  Maybe the artist wanted to show a big picture of something but wanted us to figure out what stuck out the most; and maybe she is telling us that its the Ponytail.

Henri Matisse's known for his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship.  Susan Rothenberg's style is a unique combination of representational and nonrepresentational traditions.  She potrays not complete figures but fragments, but of representation that seem to surface like memories in a nonrepresentational painting.  In the other hand, Henri shows the whole painting but makes is abstract.
