Response to Jaimee Schuster blog # 8

I agree with Jaimee that the painting "Portrait of a Young Boy" follows the theme that men are strong and violent. The young boy holding a rifle reiterates to young boys that they need to be strong. I also agree with Jaimee that Anna Ancher's painting "The Maid in The Kitchen" was different from most of ther other paintings. I also got the same message out of the painting that the women in the painting did not have time for herself but had time to take care of someone else's family. A last point I agree with Jaimee on is that the A World Apart exhibit was very easy to navigate through and each painting told a different story. This museum really helped to show the talents of women's artists and gave me a better interpretation of women's art rather than seeing it on the computer or in a brochure.
