The sodden eyes had kept something of the loveliness of their blue, the noble curves had not yet completely passed away from chiselled nostrils and from plastic throat. Yes, it was Dorian himself. But who had done it? He seemed to recognize his own brushwork, and the frame was his own design. The idea was monstrous, yet he felt afraid. He seized the lighted candle, and held it to the picture. In the left-hand corner was his own name, traced in long letters of bright vermilion."

David, by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (c.1623-1624)

4.5/6

(English Translation)

The ongoing comparison of Bernini’s versus Michelangelo’s David is an argument I approach with a sense of hesitance. These two artists and their works are seperate is nearly every way; the periods of artwork their works were set in, the example of subjects, and the method of make. Both are marble portraits of the biblical character of David, and that’s about where the resemblances end.

I like the lip bite, very sexy, and the positioning of the torso is nearly impossible for most people to recreate. The proportioning could use some adjustment, as well as the placement of the bag on his hip. Just small things that remind you it’s man made.

(Traduction Français)

La comparaison permanente du David du Bernin et du David de Michel-Ange est un argument que j'aborde avec hésitation. Ces deux artistes et leurs œuvres sont séparés dans presque tous les sens ; les périodes d'art dans lesquelles leurs œuvres ont été définies, l'exemple des sujets et la méthode de fabrication. Les deux sont des portraits en marbre du personnage biblique de David, et c'est à peu près là que s'arrêtent les ressemblances.

J'aime la morsure des lèvres, très sexy, et le positionnement du torse est presque impossible à recréer pour la plupart des gens. Le dosage pourrait nécessiter quelques ajustements, ainsi que le placement du sac sur sa hanche. Juste de petites choses qui vous rappellent que c'est fait par l'homme.

David, by Michaelangelo (c.1501-1504)

3/6

(English Translation)

While usually donned a masterpiece by most, this work, to me, is such. However there are certain things we much take into account while reviewing this specific work:

It’s form and composition: 6/6

It’s ‘eye interest’: 2/6

In my mind it evens out

How many times, in school, have I been made to stare at this sculpture and tell people what I think of it? Too many times. Does this effect my review? Absolutely, yes. But am I entitled to my opinion, nevertheless? Certainly.

(Traduction Français)

Bien qu'habituellement enfilé un chef-d'œuvre par la plupart, ce travail, pour moi, est tel. Cependant, il y a certaines choses que nous prenons beaucoup en compte lors de l'examen de ce travail spécifique:

Sa forme et sa composition: 6/6

Son "intérêt des yeux": 2/6

dans mon esprit ça s'équilibre

Don’t need to ask me twice to make a journal.

Frida and Vincent for the win. Two people who inspire me to think about art, to care about art, to care about how I feel and to care enough to express it!
