Getting Our Bearings / Arthur Secunda

Previous Home Next

Notice how this artist has combined powerful primary colors to draw your eyes toward the depths of the starry sky. What patterns and rhythms do you notice?

When we explore a work of art we employ our own inner "maps" as well as our perceptions of reality. In responding to this artwork it is possible to apply knowledge of star charts and actual landscapes, as well as to let the pulses and exuberant mood evoke personal associations.
