Museum vist



Basic info:
Artist’s Name (if available): Domingo Garcia
Title: Adios Mahatma
Date:1988
Materials: Oil & Masonite


The drawing by Domingo Garcia stood out to me when I looked at because it was drawn after his passing.  Because of that the colors were black, red and shades of different other darker colors.  The pictured shows how he lived his live and his facial expression explains it all. I think this picture is nonrepresentational because it shows him how he dressed everyday but in this case the colors were darker then usually to represent his passing.

  1. Good analysis of the colors and their symbolic meaning. Check your definitions though, this one is representational because you can easily tell that it is an image of Gandhi. In nonrepresentational art, you cant recognize anything from life.
