Changing Market

Social media has had a huge impact on todays economic, political, and even art world. Just looking at the people I follow on my accounts, I have seen groups selling clothing, promoting clubs, and personal business (ie. barbershops). I believe that its great to have so much on a tiny screen but at the same time, how long is this market going to last? 

personally, the social media platform lacks a sense of intimacy when dealing with art. you're not actually seeing the textured detail or , if a piece of work is large, you're not allowing yourself to be engulfed by the work. Going to these galleries there is always a sense of vulnerability you are letting yourself feel along with a sense of adventure and curiosity into another persons mind/thoughts.

Margarete Heymann

Margarete Heymann makes tea cups worthy of sitting in my grandmothers tea cup collection. This one in particular seems simple yet the artwork on it makes the set stand out. I like the color combinations Hetmann uses and the designs of her pieces are impeccable. Overall, I am a fan of Margaretes work.

Margarete Heymann

 I chose Margarete Heymann because she creates designs that are simplistic while still straying from what a normal tea cup would be. She create created her own form of something that most people at the time would use everyday giver his personal spin on it. The 2 circle handles are what stand out but her designs are not note worthy as well, creating beautiful pieces with solid colors or lines.

Alma Siedhoff-Buscher
Her work is so abstract and colorful, i felt like it was there to be abstract and appealing to the most inner child inside every child. It felt as if she was competing with the male sculptors at her time, but still keeping her feminine nurturing characteristics. These toys are definitely appealing to the simple mind, because it seems like many children toys and blocks are shaped around the formula or colors and shapes. Alma Siedhoff-Buscher used these structures and colors to depict her own design in a male dominated wooden sculpture world. I appreciate how these structures generate thought of real life things such as a highway (top) or a boat (bottom).

I liked this artist because she switch from weave work to a male dominated department. She was still able to sculpt according to her own style and was a able to create toys and furniture. I like her pieces because they are very youthful.

Benita Koch-Otte

The piece I chose is woven fabric however it isn't meant to be worn but to be put up on a wall to look at.  Benita Koch-Otte made the cloth in 1923. I liked how detailed the fabric was and how the colors combine with one another.
