The Two of the 3,2,1 {Where are the Ribbons?}


This is a Frida Kahlo piece, called Amoroso (1949) and a work by Rene Magritte, Le Blanc-Seing (1965).  In the Kahlo piece, the focal point or center is the woman with child.There are several ribbons going around the woman in the red dress and the "child" she is holding. In the Magritte work, it is an optical illusion of sorts where all the ribbon lines are there in the piece and attached but seperated by space which all come together. It is more dynamic in the sense that the movement is still there even though there is seperation.
