Project Part 2

Here is another portion of art that I am adding to my semester long project. The picture below is from Jackie Felix's collection that wasn't on the main display, but in the room where they keep extra art pieces in cases at the Burchfield Penny Art Center. As the class remembers, Jackie Felix was one of two artists we toured. This is acrylic on paper and is called Auditions/Examination Tryouts. It is undated. The hands with eyes in the palms make me think that we are supposed to feel what we are seeing and not just watch what we are looking at with no emotion. Stage performance is art as well. It also reminds me of Pan's Labrynth and the all seeing eye. Here's a little about the artist. Jackie Felix was born in Pittsburgh on 1929 and died on 2009. Some of her artwork is dark, envolves sexual politics, and femisism.
