Consider Wilfredo Lam's The Jungle and Winslow Homer's Key West, Hauling Anchor. These works represent views of nature. Explain how each artist uses the characteristics of his selected medium to express or represent his subject and his view of nature.
What will be an ideal response?
Homer's Key West, Hauling Anchor is an example of a classic watercolor technique, controlled yet spontaneous in feeling. The medium captures well the constantly changing nature of the open water, and the breeze that will serve to propel the boat. Lam uses gouache, a watercolor paint with white pigment, and exploits both the transparent and opaque possibilities of this medium. The result represents the typical jungle environment: bright colors and buzzing energy set against simultaneous deep shadows and mystery.
