M: I see you and your Mends have been [1]decorating the dormitory.
W: The walls looked so dull; [1]we decided to cover them with prints and posters.
M: I like this one. Did you buy it on campus?
W: No, I bought it at the museum of modem art in New York City. The art history department recently sponsored a special museum tour there.
M: Is this a reproduction of something in the museum’s collection?
W: Yes. It’s a print of a painting by Georgia O’keffe called Lake George Window.
M: It looks more like a photograph. The details are so accurate and realistic.
W: I thought the same thing when I first saw the painting hanging in the museum. But the art history teacher pointed out how the painting is in fact very stylized.
M: What do you mean?
W: First, by choosing a front view of the window, O’keffe was able to present a symmetrical image and [2]eliminate any hint of three dimensionality.
M: It does look almost flat. The open shutters seem to have no depth at all.
W: To emphasize that [2]two dimensional look. O’keffe also [2]eliminated details of texture. The shutters, for example.
M: Yes, their surface looks as flat as the glass of the window pane.
W: So even though she created a realistic painting of a window, O’keffe stylized and simplified the shapes to resemble an abstract design.
M: [3I]t sounds as though you learned a lot on that trip. Is the art history department planning another museum tour?
W: Yes, the next one is to a special exhibit of European painters at the museum of fine arts in Boston next week.
M: [4]I think I will sign up for that one.
