a. Where is this art? What kind of artwork were around this piece?
This piece of art was in the modern and contemporary art exhibit. There were other art work around it such as artwork from O'Keeffe. There was also another piece of art called Tomorrow is Never that was very sad to me.
b. What about this piece draws your attention? Does it remind you of something else?
This painting caught my attention because it was very large and I was actually looking at a painting beside it but it was much smaller so the size was the first thing that I noticed. And then, I saw that there were a bunch of naked ladies but what caught my attention the most was not that they were naked but because the expression they had. None of the women looked happy but they had this dazed look on their face. The ladies sitting looked calm, but it was an unsettling calm.
c. What do you know about the artwork or artist?
This was the first time that I've seen that artwork and I never heard of the artist before. I didn't even know that this art was about sirens until I read the note beside it. That was when I realized that there were sirens in the background on the beach, and they looked like they were praying. That was also when I saw that one man in the painting. This painting was done by artist Paul Delvaux and he was a surrealist. This is his biggest painting.
