Gottfried Helnwein Images Two + Three


Images Two + Three
 In this picture, I notice that it's being put up/climbed on by a man.  It is highlighting how chapped the girls lips are, and how dry her face is appearing to be.  They chose a girl who looks completely natural to get their point across, with unkempt hair/eyebrows, just so she looks like a normal child.  Her blue eyes contrast against the rest of the image, as well as the rest of the area the image is placed in.  The image is so large to show the small details within the picture.  It must've taken a lot of paper and glue to put it up on the large wall.  The engineers/architects of it most likely spliced different squares together to complete the full large rectangular image, to the point where we can't tell.  I believe the location of the artwork is either urban or industrial.  This means that people in business are able to see it, which may be the intended audience due to my thought of message concerning perfection.  The image's mood is a bit eerie, dark, and gloomy, and there's some heavy feeling to it despite it being so simple.  The girl's expression is straight-faced, almost shocked, and also kind of asking for help.  It's engaged with the viewer, and leaves you thinking about the picture.
