Response to Gottfried Helnwein #2

The girl in the photo seems to be 7 or 8. She has long, curly dirty blonde hair. She was tired blue green/blue eyes and a very pale skin tone. Her facial expression is very hard to read but, she almost looks scared, tired, or almost bored/unamused. The scale of the image can effect its meaning. Since the piece of art is so enlarged, it shows more of her emotion. I don't believe it is one contiguous image, I believe it is spliced together. The location of the image is rural, it looks abandoned or on the back of an empty building. The intended audience is anyone. I don't think there is any specific target. The girl's expression is wondering or confused.

Response to Gottfried Helnwein

This image is both an artistic and documentary image. I believe this image is not photoshopped either. It looks like a billboard and the man is painting it. The girl looks very vulnerable and sad in this photo. The man in this photo looks like he is repairing her or fixing her problems. The scale between the man and the girl is important. The man has little effect, no matter how hard he tries his impact is very small.
