Analysing an Image CONTEXT Understanding the wider context and underlying themes gleaned from research and used to inform your opinion RESEARCH Research using a variety of secondary sources and collecting comments, quotes and discussion points QUESTIONING Start with writing down key words and simple questions to get initial primary response and raise further areas for research What? The Artwork Who? Subject Matter Where? Location When? Time/Period How? Process Why? Meaning Books Periodicals Magazines Newspapers Galleries Museums Internet TV/DVD Radio Biographical information about the artist Political events of the time I.e. wars, suffragettes Social & Cultural Norms I.e. fashion movements, Ideologies I.e. Far Right or Liberal Technology I.e. inventions and means of communication Art Movements I.e.Bauhaus, Futurism Quotes & key points by specialists and academics Consider past work and common trends in career How does the work fit in to the history of Art & Photography? Compare other artists from the time Structure your response using the following three headings: FORM This is the Mise en Scene (Setting in Scene) - what is going on in the art work/photograph? Explain objectively and honestly. Imagine you are trying to explain the art work to someone over the telephone and transcribe that message. PROCESS What has the artist used to make the art work? Consider the materials and media. If a photograph, what are the lighting considerations? Has it been presented in a special way I.e. as an installation? CONTENT Having researched further and understood the wider context, discuss the ideas behind the art work and the intentions of the photographer to your best ability. Consider the mood of the work and how this has been achieved?

TITLE: Le Couple d'amoureux au bal des quatre saisons, rue de Lappe DATE: 1932 ARTIST: Gyula Halasz aka Brassai ( ) CONTENT Having researched further and understood the wider context, discuss the ideas behind the art work and the intentions of the photographer to your best ability. Consider the mood of the work and how this has been achieved? FORM This is the Mise en Scene (Setting in Scene) :- describe what is going on in the art work/photograph? Explain objectively and honestly. Imagine you are trying to explain the art work to someone over the telephone and transcribe that message. PROCESS What has the artist used to make the art work? Consider the materials and media. If a photograph, what are the lighting considerations? Has it been presented in a special way I.e. as an installation? Analysing an Image Writing Frame KEYWORDS Write down any key words you associate with this art work. Brassai was someone considered to have mythologised Paris as a romantic capital, capturing couples, bar fights, music halls and brothels. Looking at his work it is clear that he was interested in the lives and behaviour of people in a large metropolitan city, choosing to document it as an intimate city, although not afraid to show its rough edges. This particular image cleverly manages to convey two points of view, where the lady is smiling contently and lovingly in front of the camera as she hugs her lover, but the mirror shows another, more sinister side, where she appears to be grimacing and keeping up appearances. It raises questions about how our public and private emotions are constantly challenged by the expectations of society. In this case, the glamour and fashion of the 1930s implied a culture of sophistication that influenced many women of the day. This is a black & white photograph by Brassai, the French photographer ( ), of a lady and her lover/partner socialising in a café and chatting over a drink of wine. She is animated and holding his chest, whilst he looks into her eyes and embraces her. The picture was taken indoors and there is a mirror behind them. The picture is taken from head height looking down at the couple. This allows us to see their reflection in the mirror and have an overview of the scene. The scene may have involved the use of flash as their skin, white clothes and glasses are highly reflected. The existing light is most probably artificial and low in strength with some natural light from nearby windows. There is little distortion on the face, so he has probably used a standard mm lens Reflection Intimacy Social Illusion Deception FLUENT EXAMPLE

Analysing an Image Writing Frame KEYWORDS Write down any key words you associate with this art work. I think the work is about a French man and woman who love each other. I find it an really interesting picture and like the composition. They appear to be drinking wine and he is clutching her elbow, whilst she touches his chest. This shows that they really like each other. I would like to be able to take photos that are also of people - I could photograph my friends in a local café drinking tea. This is a photograph of a man and woman sitting in a café drinking wine. You can see their reflection in the mirror. The photographer has used black and white film and printed it in the darkroom. There is lots of light on their faces Man Woman Wine Mirror Hat BASIC EXAMPLE
