Assignment #3

This a painting called Marquette for Affairements by Jean Dubufflet. The painting seen here is using different principles of design. One design used is the rule of odds. As you can see there seems to be two odd shapes that appear to look like two heads and there is only two of those which is an odd number. I also see the use of visual rhythm. You can see the repeated use of the colors red and blue. You can also see the repeated use of odd different shapes through out the painting. To me the balance of this painting is approximate symmetrical because there are differences seen on both side of the painting. Although there are differences on the painting, the differences are slightly different and seem to balance each other out so it seems to be symmetrical. The painting doesn't really seem to have a focal point because the painting seems to have these colors and shapes put about just everywhere and kind of makes you look just about anywhere in the painting. The emphasis of the painting I think are the two shapes that appear to look like heads because looking at the painting it tends to catch the eye first.
