Modern art and modern lit are kind of the same thing in my mind. I think one of the main things they have in common is them both always talking about the death and life. It seems like they always are talking, and showing about life in death in everything that is “MODERN”. For example my modern art has alot to do with the life and death cycle.

Summer Days

Mordern Art……This is a painting by Goergia O’Keefe. I think this painting could mean many things, but what stands out to me the most is almost like the cycle of life/death. I think the skull in the middle of the painting could mean nothing but death. O’keefe made the skull so big, I think he was trying to show that death is unavoidable. But the flowers just below the skull could represent life. I think O’keefe made the flowers so much smaller then the skull the represent that life is short lasting, and that death is unavoidable, and after your death the world will still go on.
