I find this image really captivating. The couple have such stern faces, and seem to me to be in a strict religion of some sort. When i see images such as this, it makes me instantly think of story lines which I believe fit the image. It could almost be a late 60s photograph as it’s very realistic.

I found this image in a book I was skimming through in a charity shop and found it really interesting. I like the fact I don’t know the story behind it and that to me it seems slightly random. 

 I’ve always enjoyed Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Buddhist art as a whole. I love this image, I don’t know where its from or who the artist was but I think that adds to the authenticity. The texture of the image gives me the feel its very old and I like the subtle warm colours used. The ring around the ladies head also interests me and have been using similar techniques in my personal project to create focal points.

‘Triumph of death’ - unknown

I like the strangeness of the fact the woman is looking down at her one single breast that has popped out and the fact there both very very pale. I also don’t know why there is red cherubs lurking around the subjects in the centre.
