1st piece:
I see a very dramatic piece! I mean the man-monster is eating a baby!
The colors are extrememly dark. His eyes make him look crazy and the red blood is what stands out for me. The piece is mostly organic and there is a lot of negative space.
The message I get from this artwork is people can be crazy!
I would definitely hang this piece up in my room or even in my foyer because it is awesome! It would creep people out and it is a conversation starter.
2nd piece:
I see a man with a funny looking turban dead in the tub with a pen and book in his hands.
There are a lot of lighter values in this piece and it has a lot of organic shapes and straight amd curvy lines.
The message I get is that no matter what you are doing you can die wherever!
I would not hang this piece up in my house because it's not that gory or dramatic so its not my style.
I think the first piece is Romanticism because it is a lot more dramtic and has a ton of emotion in it. It makes you think more and the style is more Middle East. The seond piece is Neoclassicism because this face is a lot more calmer and the colors are bright but not vibrant. The style is a lot more Roman too.

Why did Wolfy die?
We would all like to believe that Salieri was the one who killed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. That would be a much more interesting story for everyone! However, the facts show that he died of a disease known as rheumatic fever which is an acute disease occurring during recovery from infection with a strain of streptococcus bacteria. He died at 1:00 am on December 5, 1791. it is kind of upsetting to find out that he didn't get murder because that would make Salieri more cool and crazy but instead Salieri just attempted to sabotage Mozart's career throughout his life and he wasted 35 years living in Mozart's shadow which made him very bitter.

Modern Era of Art
Modern era means the present or recent times. In 1913, there was a big riot all because of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring there is an emphasis on different rhythms. Just by this act you can tell that people were really bipolar and the littlest thing would set them off! People think it happened times but nobody really knows when it was. People started to change up the techniques of art and make it more up-to-date. The modern era started in 1900. It came to an end in 1945.
