Amongst those things is art which also serves a purpose on the way we perceive life.
MAYA LIN
"Each of my works originates from a simple desire to make people aware of their surroundings, not just the physical world but also the psychological world we live in," Maya Lin has written.
"I create places in which to think, without trying to dictate what to think."
Vietnam Veterans Memorial
In my opinion this piece of work is to make her audience feel human and come to terms with life in an emotional sense that we as humans live and also die. With death comes grief and with grief there comes a time of healing. The purpose of this wall was to bring a community together to provide comfort to those that have lost a loved one.
VINCENT VAN GOGH
Van Gogh's art work reflects his thoughts and emotions on how he perceives things and gets the audience to share his vision in a way we wouldn't normally see. Even though some of his art is simple it also brings intensity of a whole new outlook to the human eye.
My comparison between the two artists is that they both want the audience to perceive life in a different view than what they're used to. The difference would have to be that Lin's work promotes human emotion yet Gogh's work leans more towards imagination and creativity.
