Every Thursday, as part of my personal “enriched environment” initiative, I post a piece of art, usually from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which recently released online some 400,000 high-resolution images of its collection. I won’t name the piece or the artist, but instead invite you to study the image and write a comment about what you see or what it makes you think of. All images will have a sun (or sunlight) in them somewhere.
So study the picture, and leave your reflections below!
The top left part looks like the moon, crashing into Earth.
Isn’t it funny that the caption reads Colorado River Series, but there’s no river.
Darkness then light then darkness again
The shape of the sky looks like a skinny, stockinged foot that Dr. Seuss might draw.
I like how the trees in the lower left don’t look realistic. And the part of the cliffs where the sun is shining makes me think of cake.
I’m Always impressed to think that a river formed that, and the cragginess overwhelms me the more I look at it.
