Post 3, FAVOURITE ARTIST





Hi!
Today I'm going to write about one special artist for me. I believe that don't have one favorite artist, but I really liked the work of Ana Mendieta. She was a Cuba American artist and her work has been connected with trends such as Land Art,  Body art and performance.

Ana Mendieta was born in Habana, Cuba in November 1948. But when she had 12 years old was sent to the USA through "Operation Peter Pan" as a "political refugee". She had confronted to be one Latin woman exiled in the USA, and this marks her life and work.

Ana Mendieta (1948–1985). Untitled (from the Silueta series), July 1978. Chromogenic print, 25.4 x 18.57 cm. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, Purchased with funds contributed by the Photography Committee 98.5235
Her work longest is “Siluetas”.  Development between 1973 and 1980 in Iowa and  México.  With this work, she produces one connection between landscape and the female body.

She made the figure of her body in the landscape with different things such as flowers, moss or fire.

I like this, the form that she creates one mark in the landscape. Like a form that says "I exist", like don't import that happened, she was here and exist one track in the landscape that proves.

    I liked Ana Mendieta when I knew about her work Silueta, and the meaning is simply both existential and emotional. A beautiful work.

    I think when an artist uses his own body. generates more strength in the work !

HI!!! Today I am going to write about my favorite technological device. I'm a little clumsy with technology and is difficult to think in "my favorite piece" because I only have my computer and my phone, I don't know that my headphone is one technological device, probably not because need other things for operating.

Sanitary problems and animal overpopulation they are a real and serious problem, but I do not think that the solution is to kill them preventive mode.
