The name of this piece is Vote issues not image by Anita Dillman. The medium of the piece is charcoal on canvas. The subject matter of this image is censorship. I believe this image has a very strong meaning because it has the president of the united states and a candidate that was running against him. Also it shows issues that the U.S is facing. This piece was also censored by Berkley College for the so called reason of depicting guns and violence. It shows how censorship is covered up with so called ethics.
The chiaroscuro of the piece is the transition of the different things and people in the picture that make them not blend together. There is emphasis throughout the whole image including Obama, McCain, and the gun it all stands for either the upcoming issues or the one we are already facing. The foreground of this piece is the American flag because it looks as if all the other images are placed in front of it. The hue of this piece is black and white which gives it a very fascinating look that catches your eye and makes you pay attention to detail. There isn’t really a focal point of this piece because all the characters in it mean something. The image has a lot of shading in it to give the characters detail and make them stand out from one another. The subtle of the piece is the smoke stack on Obama’s shoulder it has a certain meaning to it that I couldn’t figure out. This image also has a lot of proportion in it so that the objects in it do not look out of place and are in plain sight. The pictures of Obama, McCain, and the women are figurative because they have humanistic qualities that make them look real and recognizable. The stripes on the flag are linear. There is no tone in this piece which makes it interesting. All the characters in the picture are juxtaposition because they are close together and are placed side by side.
The story behind the piece is within the title Vote issues not image. This is because the artist is trying to say that people vote on what peoples images are and not on the issues that are bringing our country down. If we did vote for issues we would not still be at war and worried about the global warming crisis. It is interesting that this image was censored by a college because it only speaks the truth about what our country is coming to.
