Suggested Projects

• Jerome Witkin's "West Fayette Street, Syracuse, Sunday Moring" on Jack Ruthberg's Fne Art Site

  (Love 1A) Consider this urban landscape in terms of our usual normative sense of what a landscape should have, the emotions it should evoke. How do we normally regard a street corner with the kinds of road markings that suggest heavy downtown traffic? Do we normally consider the scene restful? What feelings does this painting evoke? Can you see how beauty and love might be in the "eye of the beholder?" Would the scene be more restful if the telephone or electric lines were not there? Why do you suppose Jerome Witkin put them there?
