Lee Krasner Right Bird Left Analysis

Have you ever had a painting that really spoke to you? When I visited the David Owsley Art Museum there was one painting in particular that stuck out to me, it was: Right Bird Left by Lee Krasner. Tis painting made me feel happy and gave me a lot of energy during the time I was at the museum. It caught the attention of my eye by using several different visual elements to depict an abstract representation art piece. Along with that it used principle of designs to help the visual elements play out and work in the painting so that things can be depicted to the human eye correctly. This piece might have looked like bird feathers but it used many different techniques to give me a bigger underlying meaning behind a such complex painting. This piece
The reason it is this type of painting is because even though it might look like it could be non-representational, there are feathers that can be depicted as being in this painting. It has a low degree of verisimilitude so it is easy to understand why it is an abstract representational painting. In Right Bird Left, you can see the brush strokes and the way Krasner was trying to depict a texture throughout the painting. The colors could be used to represent actual feathers, but many times birds do not look that bright unless it is a parrot and it is not supposed to be depicting that from what I am interpreting from this painting. The subject matter of this painting is still to focus on the birds but there is more behind just that simple thought. The subject of the birds is used to create a bigger meaning behind this
Once I looked at all of the thoughts that I had come to mind and the way the picture was structured I believe there is a bigger underlying meaning for this picture. I think this picture wants me to see what it means to be different. I get this meaning from this painting because the left side is different from the rest. All of the other colors are pretty evenly spaced and used the same amount of times, but the brownish yellow is used in one section. I believe his title of the paining has the word “Left” as the last word because it wants you to understand that there is something unique about the left side. So Krasner wants people to know it is perfectly fine to be different and be yourself, because you can still fit in with the rest of the crowd even if your “feathers” are a different color than everyone else’s. Be that person who wants to always step out of the box and see what is waiting for you on the outside, not just what is on the inside. I also found a deeper meaning of the painting showing how crazy that life can actually be. There is always going to be a lot of things going on in people’s lives and that is what this painting depicted through all of the different strokes and colors that were very bright. The colors are also used to show that everything is going to be good in the long run because even though there is going to be craziness, the colors
