Modern Art

Vulcan

Yesterday whilst I was down in Edinburgh I decided to go and visit the Modern Gallery. This was primarily to see a sculpture titled Vulcan created by Eduardo Paolozzi. The sculpture is two storeys high and my idea was to see what it looked like from the ground. This was to try and inform me of shapes and perspective for one of he images I plan to create for the book. An early scene with the text who belonged to a land of fragile freedoms. Within this image I imagine the main character about to embark on a battle with giants.This work is within the cafe area of Modern 2, I also went to look at other works by Dali and was very intrigued by the remake of Paolozzi's studio. This gave an insight into his life, mind and commitment to his art. Whilst there I also went to Modern 1 to see if any works were of interest to me, there I found another interesting sculpture of a man running. This might possibly feed into my work somehow, some photos of various works I seen are shown below.
