This piece reminds me of my friend's tattoo. I don't have a picture of it though. It is of a Geisha with three demons pulling at her. The same concept with this one to left is the same as my friend's tattoo. A lot of Japanese tattoo artists pick the art for the person. My friend's tattoo artist picked the concept which was perfect for him.

In art, I believe that expressionism is one of the most important concepts. It is the whole reason to why people feel so close to a work of art no matter what it is. This piece is one of my favorite expressionistic pieces. The values in the image and the facial expression on the girl's face evoke a lonely and sad feeling. I view this piece when I am at my lowest point so that I know that I am not the only one who feels sad or lonely. She is in a world of darkness almost. What I relate to in this image is the feeling of a young girl in a grown up world or being a grown up that hides her worries. This piece is so widely open to interpretations, that it why it is an expressionistic piece. The artist brought all this imagery together to evoke emotions for the viewer.

In the image there are some words that say, "The beast looked as if he had died of a broken heart. Beauty swept and threw herself upon him." Love is a daring thing. I think everyone can see a little bit of themselves in this piece. Relationships usually end with someone hurting another person. That is why we should all have our own Beauty, to pick us up when we are down.

Shoes are a wonderful way to express yourself. They can be sexy, funky, or what ever you like. I do have to agree with these images, in that men can take beauty to an awful level.
