Unit3 - Tableaux vivants (living picture)

While i was having a deep look on the brief, I liked yesterdays lecture and felt the topic to be more interesting and i browsed some images from good photographers and artists who were talked about in the lecture. I had a pick of three artist who i felt that i could talk more about.


The work of Jeff Wall The Destroyed Room 1978 

This image had brought a very good interest, as in a very first glance i thought it to be a crime scene and later on i started to notice the wood and the window a little closer as more of a constuction work. The way the hole scene is set makes a deference as the artist plays with the looks and thoughts.


The work of Edward Hoppers Automat 1927



The image of Edward has a lot of silence in to the scene as the lady with the tea/coffee brings an attention of questions. The hole image has a cinematic look with thoughtful colours and a bit of sadness in it. Edwards images has more of an dramatic arrangement in the image.

The work of Gregory Crewdson

The pictures of Gregory has a very good staging and his images also reminds me of some alien horror films i seen, cause this scene has a still of loneliness of a girl in a swing and the whole scene looks a bit haunted with the woods and smoke as well as the looks and expression of the girl. i really love his works and it also helps me to think of some good concepts and ideas.
