INTERPRETATION: The yellow skull with the red and black elements on the forehead symbolize life, death, and the human condition. The daisy flower at the top of the head symbolize purity or the idea of beauty arising from darkness. The red and white around the eyes may represent duality, or the idea that appearances can be deceiving. JUDGEMENT: Its strengths lie in its thought-provoking symbolism and the use of color and shape to convey meaning. Some viewers may appreciate the complexity and depth of interpretation it offers. However, some weaknesses could include the level of abstraction, which might make it less accessible to all viewers. To improve, the artist could consider providing more context or explanations for the symbolism to engage a broader audience.
The ability of an image to inspire meaning can be a powerful force. Katherine Bays groundbreaking performance Disruptions of Perception, 2002, with its white, white-floored gallery, make this kind of approach to interpretation and explanation one of her best strengths.

JUDGEMENT:����, a motif introduced in this show, consists of the rectangles a child learns in the museum or nursery. The pentagon of the first circle can be seen in the work as a metaphor for the force of good, for the forces that control it, for the protection of society. The second circle shows the pentagon in the form of a snake, while the third circle shows the pentagon in a V shape. The pentagon, as symbol of God, is at the center of the world, while the snake is in the center of evil. The pentagon and the snake, the pentagon of light, are in harmony and thus balance, while the snake of darkness is in opposition to the light of knowledge and the good forces.JUDGEMENT:���� demonstrates that the pentagon and the snake are in harmony and balance.

To improve, the artist could consider providing more context or explanations for the symbolism to engage a broader audience. In this, the challenges of making the word-within-the-word-option work resonate with the meaning of the word. Knowing the main features of a symbol, the viewer can explore its physical properties and its potential function.JUDGEMENT: almost-dis A constellation of six elongated orange elongated envelopes that rise from the bottom edge of the box create a canopy in the center of the box that wraps around a green branch. Like the fig leaf over a word, the tree- or plant-filled envelope provides a metaphor for the world, the self, and our connection to our environment. For the meaning of the word, the envelope and the tree- or plant-filled envelope provide a common ground for contemplation and, in this case, for reflection. The envelopes also refer to the asexual aspect of our human nature. The inner circle, the reproductive pattern, the outer ring, the swelling, full-blown seed, and the seed stage all refer to the cycle of life, the life-giving event.JUDGEMENT: almost-dis A group of six and eight large brown envelopes that call to mind the shapes of Frida Kapanos canvases are layered on top of each other to create a thick web of visual and conceptual references. We can see how we come to use the same words as Frida Kapanos—sub- and contour—in our art and in our daily life. In this work, each of the six envelopes contains a photographic image that shows the outline of a tree. In the center of the canvas, the outline of a tree with a contour appears. Above the tree, a series of eight photographs, dating from 1977, show the outline of a tree that may have been covered in leaves. The shape and contours of this tree are exactly the same ones used in Kapanos work, yet it is the contours that are of primary importance here.

One such use of symbolism is the use of fire, which is depicted in many of Jutas Holsteins pieces. The broad light and dark expanses of canvas are often compared to a deep dark brown sea. This metaphor is especially true for his earlier black and white abstractions.Holstein considers his process of forming his paintings, a direct demonstration of the thoughts and feelings he has regarding the world, to be the most important thing in the world. He tries to make things appear that they really are meant to appear. This is why the fire in his abstractions is so vivid. Holstein tries to make his paintings as real as possible, while his early, still lifes are abstractions made to look real. Here, the symbolic content is complex, but ultimately it is true that the paintings are the most important thing in the world.The focus of Holsteins work is his subjects, which are as diverse as life, death, and nature. In this show, a painting titled Roppler, 1987, was the most striking. The works title refers to Roppler, an author from Künstler-Münster, whose poem about death, burial, and cremation, the Ropplers first in German, was published in 1828. The painting is divided into three parts: a horizontal section covered with a grey-black sketch of a skeleton (with its eye missing); a vertical section of white; and a grey-green version with its eyes missing. The outlines of eyes, nose, and mouth are shown clearly. A frontal view of the skeleton is very different from that of the rest of the painting, and the eyes are absent. Here, the individual details are interesting, while the scenes are merely ornamental. The result is a very convincing painting. This painting is one of Holsteins most interesting abstractions. It displays a clear and clear intention, and an ability to connect with the viewers emotional response.

For example, the palette of the brown ground on the left might be used to depict the struggle for black and white in an ideal world, while the red paint on the right could be interpreted as a reflection of the struggle for social change. The same could be said for the first four colors in the painting, but the last two seem as blank as a blank page. The last two paintings are paintings of the final products of the struggle. The painting Black and Blue, 1985, 1985, contains two panels of brown ground. The blue panels are an inversion of the black ground; the gray one is a reflection of the black ground. The last two panels are painted brown, but their light has no coloration and is reduced to a purely metallic quality.The theme of the painting is white-black, a metaphor for the white and black subjectivities of society, but one without any concrete solution. The form of the painting can be seen as a way to talk about social and political experience. The artist could also paint white-red backgrounds, which would act as reference points for the white-black subjectivities of society. But this would be too generic, and would prevent the audience from getting involved in the life and death struggle. In the best of Judgement, the third painting in this group of paintings, the form of the painting becomes a metaphor for the truth about life and death. At the bottom of the painting, the uppermost panel shows a circle of white-black paint. The white paint layer, painted in black and white, is the black ground. Above the white paint layer, a pattern of black shapes appears. The image, a representation of the earth, was made by measuring earth from space, not from the ground.
