Independent Museum Visit Assignment by Andrea Morales

This week, I visited the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum Art Museum on campus. I was immediately drawn to the small room towards the right hand side, which contained a few works. Today I will be comparing and contrasting the works of Emilio Sanchez and N. Jay Jaffee.

Let’s start off with the piece that I liked, which was N. Jay Jaffee, Self Portrait (Reflection), New York. This piece takes form as a Gelatin silver print which was dated between 1975-1979. The subject matter is not complex, a self-portrait of the artist which was created by a mirror reflection. Based on the content of the photograph, you can tell it was shot in New York City. I love that the mirror is placed in an empty lot, and gives an illusion of solitude when it comes to the self-portrait, which is then juxtaposed by the busy buildings in the background. What I find interesting as well is how it was framed, with a thick white border. This also contrasts nicely, creating a sense of space. It is a magnificent piece, and an important relic in my opinion since you can see the twin towers on the left hand side.

The piece which I did not like was created by Cuban artist Emilio Sanchez’ La Casa Nueva. This is a Lithograph which was created in 1970, which depicts an architectural plane. It is a work of art which catches your attention right off the bat because of its bright yellow hue. For those that are not familiar with the medium, a Lithograph is a piece of art that involves drawing an image onto a plate. It’s got a nice play of light and shadow, which is stylistically strong. What I think lacks is context, to me its just a plain drawing of a building. The use of lines I think happens to be the subject matter here, but there is nothing else that is reflective about this piece.
