Tanktotem VII

David Smith has been widely heralded as one of the greatest sculptors of the American century.
Each sculpture in Smith’s Tanktotem series which begun in 1952 and completed in the early 1960s, includes the round lid in whole or part of a commercially manufactured boiler tank. To a greater or lesser degree all of these sculptures are anthropomorphic; Tanktotem VII is a particularly elegant and refined work in the series.

It is this graceful beauty combined with its rigor that makes Tanktotem VII so appealing to me.

Villino della Pera in der Via Senese

This painting is done by Hans Purmann from 1940. I chose this painting because it stood out to me when I was going through the website. I like the bright colors and the scene reminds me of some place that I would like to vacation or something

This is a photograph by Michael Dweck called "Sonya" and I like it because I think it expresses a sense of freedom. She's obviously naked which is an element of freedom, but she is also rushing to go surfing, maybe something she loves to do to escape from real life and all the problems with real life. Thats just my interpretation
