Imagine the Installation

Display Explanation: When thinking in terms of how I would display these three paintings, I first wanted to understand their stories. After looking at these images and really trying to understand the stories behind them, I think the best order for these paintings would be The Siren by John William Waterhouse, The Roman Widow by Dante Gabrial Rossetti, and Lilith by John Collier. These images, to me, told a story of love and the disappointments that it can bring. The Siren, specifically, told me the story of the lies that love brings. Looking at this image, the man looks at her…

Display Explanation For this project we were assigned to think in the mind of a museum curator. For my exhibit I decided to use the title Unmasking the Unseen. When A person first walks into the exhibit I there will be pools of natural light over the paintings and key parts of the exhibits mostly being shown with dome windows above them the idea of the pools of natural light is the fact that these paintings are unmasking the darkness within the room. There will be light playful music playing around the exhibit giving the idea of come and find me my secrets lay in the light. On the floor…

Display Explanation: 

For my three paintings, I would display them in a small rectangular room, close to each other, with plum-colored walls to contrast the bright, warm colors of the artwork. The deeper plum color creates an elegant atmosphere while enhancing the warm shades present in all the paintings. This color also evokes an intimate feel that aligns with the theme of closeness and affection among the three artworks. 

The lighting would focus downwards on the paintings, illuminating them with a soft, warm glow. The rest of the room would lack major lighting…

Display Explanation:
To display my images, I would want them to be set up in a hallway or room that is set up in a way that allows visitors to view either one painting at a time or all of them at once. The walls would be a muted or almost pastel terracotta or beige, which shouldn't take away from the integrity of the paintings. Lady Godiva would be in the middle, as it is the only painting by John Collier. Although it is still related to the rest of the installation, the differing artist makes it stand out. A Girl Feeding Peacocks would be to the right of Lady…

Display Explanation

The heavy, tall wooden doors to the installation will open up to reveal a maroon room with a high ceiling. There will be no lights in the room except for the lighting used for each piece, and the middle of the large room will be distinctly dim to create an interment, if not unsettling feel. By looking straight ahead, you will be confronted with Edouard Manets “Olympia” She will be on the smaller back wall of the long room. She will be hung at eye level so her gaze can meet yours. When you walk down the center of the room to stand before her, you will be caught in…

This exhibit presents three paintings that explore the relationship between figures and water, each offering a distinct perspective on interaction, movement, and presence. The works are displayed on three separate walls, allowing each painting to be experienced individually while still existing in conversation with one another. The two paintings depicting only women at leisure in the water surround Hylas and the Nymphs, creating a visual and thematic contrast between mythological seduction and scenes of communal bathing.

John William Waterhouse’s Hylas and the Nymphs (98.…

Display Explanation: In front of you, we have three encaptivating pieces that display women and their beauty. On the left, we have “Les trois baigneuses (Three Bathers)” by Henri Matisse: 55 cm high and 52 cm wide, (21.7 inches by 20.5 inches). As you continue to approach, you will see placed slightly in front of Matisse will be “The Large Bathers” by Pierre-Auguste Renoir: 46 1/4 in x 67 5/16 in (117.5 cm x 171 cm). At the end of this installation on the right placed in line with Matisse’s work, you will see “Les Grandes Baigneuses” or Women Bathing by…

Display Explanations 

I chose to place my painting on three separate walls, each individually framed and perfectly aligned in the middle, inside a gold vintage frame against white walls. Each painting will be displayed in a room, with the entrance leading to a cutout on the fourth wall, placing the entrance perfectly in the middle. To enhance the experience, I would add dim lighting in the room, with three lightbulb lamps hanging from the ceiling to shine bright light on each painting. My goal is for the audience to do a full 360 turn in the center of the room to experience…

Display Explanation

The idea with the three pieces of artwork is that in the museum, there are rooms that are in a circle. The plan is that the three artworks are supposed to work together to create a story. A story, you always start with a beginning. So, I feel like a one-way circle would work. When you first walk in, you will start on the right side, and you see the first piece, which is Ulysses and the Sirens. The size of this art piece is 100.6 centimeters, which is about 39.6 inches high, by 202 centimeters, close to 79.5 inches wide. The story starts with being on a…

Display Explanation

The display of “Eve” by Felix Joseph Barrias, “Miranda – The Tempest” by John William Waterhouse, and “Lady Lilith” by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in a gallery setting would require a thoughtful curation that considers both the individual significance of each painting and how they converse with one another when placed in a specific order. Arranged from left to right – Eve, Miranda, and Lady Lilith,- the paintings should be displayed in such a way that their narrative and thematic progression are both clear and impactful.

Display Explanation 

The three paintings that I have decided to use for my gallery are Marian Slugocki"s 1908 Awakening Spring, Frederic Leighton’s 1895 Flaming June and Francois Bonnardel's 1920 Le Coussin Rouge. All three of these paintings hold elements of bright vibrant colors and beautiful hues that draw the attention of the eye. Because of this, I want to highlight the color palate, particularly the reds and the oranges that are common across all the paintings. For this, I am going to be heavily relying on the color wheel. Blue is…

Display explanation:

For this museum installation, I want visitors to experience how women’s beauty, desire, and sexuality have been framed in art—sometimes as powerful, sometimes as tragic, sometimes as something completely out of reach. The way these paintings are displayed should guide visitors through that emotional journey, encouraging them to think about how femininity has been viewed across time.

When people first walk into the space, they’ll be met with Lamia by John William Waterhouse. It will be displayed on an elegant wooden easel in a slightly dim corner…

Display Explanation 

The three pieces of artwork chosen for the installation project are “The Models” by Georges Seurat, “Woman Combing Her Hair” by Edgar Germain Hilaire Degas, and “The Two Friends” by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Each piece shares an intimate setting with the main subject or subjects.  

In Georges Seurat’s “The Models,” two of the three women are not facing the viewer. Their bodies are turned to the side, fully relaxed, away from the viewer’s gaze. This leads to the assumption that these women, minus the woman in the center, are unaware that they…

I have titled this installation “It’s A Woman’s World”, as I often wonder what life would be like if women were the sex in power rather than men. This can be as extreme as ostracization of the male sex, or an alternate reality where mothers and creators of life are seen as the stronger, more influential voice in society. 

The room I would choose these works of art to be displayed in would be a simple square or rectangular room with one entrance. The walls are off-white, almost cream, and there is stained oak trim along the base of the walls.  You walk in, you…

Installation Explanation:

            To display these three art pieces, I envision a sort of trapezoidal space with three walls. The left and right walls will be uneven with the center wall. The left wall will be tall and thin, while the right wall will be shorter and wider in relation to the center. Between the edges of the center wall and the two side walls are long, vertical windows extending from the floor to the ceiling. The space of the building in which the installation is held should then be facing either north or south…

Display Explanation

            The images I have chosen, After the Bath, Woman with a Towel, and Woman in a Tub resemble and create a statement that ties to the other image I was given, In the Tepidarium. The way I would set up these images to make the statement have the power it does is by putting them up like a trifold mirror that would have the two images of the woman bathing facing towards the woman with a towel to draw the eyes to the side images first and then the center image. On the left side…

Display Explanation

            My installation will be set up along a wall in a dark room painted black. Along this wall will be three block structures resembling three different houses painted in dark colors, as if you are walking through a neighborhood at night. These houses aren’t meant to be walked into, so they will be shallow and not have much depth. They will just be structures that are protruding from the back wall by a couple feet. The first “house” will feature an open door, the second will have a window built into the block, and the third…

"Sometimes womanly beauty is literally meant to be worshipped."

DISPLAY EXPLAINATION 

These images would be displayed in an open atrium room, with high glass ceilings stained like carnival glass. The room smells like fresh cut flowers. The room is square in shape, with one wall bearing the doorway, and the other three walls bearing the three works of art. Ambient light fixtures hang down giving extra illumination to the 3 works of art and the seating area in the center of the room. Ambient sounds of women laughing and talking from afar is played over hidden…

Display Explanation:

The name for my exhibit will be Equality. In this instillation these painting will be put in a very large and colorful room. Because these painting are about feminism, women sexuality and possibly lesbianism, there will be equality flags and colors from the LGBTQIA+. Pablo Picasso’s painting, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon is 8 ft tall and 8 ft wide, the painting will be kind of leaned against the wall, very casually just like how the women in the painting are posing. Gustav Klimt’s painting, Die Freundinnen, or The Girlfriends in English…

In my installation I will have three paintings. The room will be dimly lit to keep a somber atmosphere, but each of the painting will have a spotlight shining on them. It will not be a bright white bulb. The light bulb will be a light-yellow hue so to pull out the colors of the paintings. The walls in the room will be eggshell colored. The first painting the visitors will see in the room will be the Chloe suspended from the ceiling in the middle of the room. The Model by the Wicker Chair will be mounted on the right wall. The Woman Bathing La Toilette will be mounted on the left wall. The…

Display Explanation: 

For my display, I envision a small room with its walls and ceiling painted with soft pastel colors and shapes to match the style of the three paintings. I imagine that the three paintings would be arranged each on their own walls of the room with light amber frames, also with information about the piece and a small biography of the painter being written on a plaque next to each painting. I believe that the display would also have warm light shining on each painting and biography to make them pop out against the room's walls; also small trails of painted…

Display Explanation:

L’erotisme Dans Le Nu is an exhibit portraying the raw innocent, eroticism of the nude. L’erotisme Dans Le Nu will be featured in a natural setting within an exhibit. The three images will each take up a wall’s worth of space. The paintings will merge together into the ceiling very naturally so that their skies all combine together to make one beautiful sky. The trees of the paintings will be three dimensional, jumping out of the walls and twisting and turning towards the sky framing the paintings. There should be shrubbery and plants along the bottom of the…

Display Explanation

                The walls and ceiling are painted a sky blue. The floor is dark green. Fake vines are hung from the tops of each of the walls, draping down and skimming the floor, which is covered in loose leaves. There are multiple round lights on the ceiling, so the room is well lit. Other thick clusters of short vines with blooming flowers hang from the ceiling at random intervals, none in front of the paintings. The back wall is not a wall but a thick curtain of vines that you cannot…

Display Explanation

A display for these three pieces would be as a walkthrough exhibit in a museum. What I mean by this is that the display area would be made that you must enter to see the paintings. This would be achieved through a trapezoidal wall setup with the short top being the buildings structural wall, two forty-five-degree walls protruding left and right, then a longer base that leaves room on the left and right corners for patrons to enter and then exit the exhibit. The pieces will be on display separately on the top of the trapezoidal setup facing the viewer. The…

Display Explanation:

The museum room would be pretty simple and relatively small to make the paintings the star of the room. The walls would be painted a neutral tan to keep the main focus on the paintings. I also feel that the tan walls would match the women’s naked bodies, which would make the room very cohesive and also would bring out the main take-away of this installation - different representations of nude women. Each of the paintings would be on a different wall with black frames to contrast with the tan walls. When you walk in, on the left wall would be Lady Godiva…

The room is completely white and rectangular, about a yard long. The three paintings are spaced out throughout the length of the corridor, with dates on the wall that show the passing of time from the 1800s to the 1920s. Significant events regarding women's rights and the history of the paintings lead the viewer through the exhibit. large, painted black cracks follow the corridor, growing until they cover the end of the room completely in black, floors and all. The final painting, Head of a Woman, is surrounded by this black void created by the wall, popping out as it has lighter colors…

Display Explanation- The way that I will set these up is having people zigzagging through the room. I will have a little bridge with old rusty ropes as railings, with water flowing underneath them. I will also have an outdoor/nature themed installation. I will put up a tree, flowers, and have the sound “Nature Sounds of a Forest River for Relaxing-Natural Soothing Sound of a Waterfall & Bird Sounds” by Johnnie Lawson playing in the background. The water will create some of the light while people walk through but the catch is, when the people walk by the images they will light up.…

Display Explanation:

You walk in to art exhibit room that has a soft glow from lights. Small lights hang from the ceiling, emitting the soft glow. Clear paths to access the artwork are noticeable as you step closer into the room. It is a square room, with one painting each on the left, right, and center wall. The walls are cream colored, eventually fading into a light green color as it gets closer to the center wall. To the left and right walls, the ground is tiled white and along the walk way there are white silk sheets. They are spread and tumbled over the ground, creating what…

Display Explanation: 

 When entering this installation, you would be greeted by a forest.  The room itself would be black on the outskirts, with trees growing out of the ground. The trees would almost be in a circle formation, with three trees placed in a triangle formation in the middle of the circle. The trees would be decorated with fairy lights throughout, both around the trees and across the ceiling, giving adequate lighting to the pieces on the three stand alone trees. On the middle tree would be Slugocki’s Polski: Przebudzenie. Wiosna. At the base of…

Display Explanation:

In this exhibit, you enter into a very large, darkened room until you reach the first image. This image (La Toilette) is the first image you see entering the room. The image is captured in a huge wood frame with a bright spotlight that captures the entire image. The only light in the room is on this image to catch the viewers attention directly at the first image. As you move on, you follow the lite flooring around a wall to the next pitcure. The next image the viewer sees is Berthe Morisot's "Before the mirror." This image is a bit smaller than the first image…

Display Explanation

For my installation of the three images -– Red Nude (1917) by Amedeo Modigliani, Two Venetians (1893) by Eugen von Blaas, and Sitting Girl (1917) by Egon Schiele — I wanted to do something a little different. While many would expect the images to be displayed in a museum, I would want them displayed in a woman-owned business like a restaurant or something of that sort. I  want them placed in the order of Red Nude, followed by Two Venetians, and finally, the Sitting Girl all paced on different walls. I would rather the paintings be…

Display Explanation: 

After opening a slim blue door with a tinge of yellow along the edges, guest will enter into a long narrow hallway. The length of this hallway is to demonstrate a long drawn out timeline. The narrowness of this hallway will make the guest feel as if they are almost trapped within the lengthy timeline, exactly how the woman in the paintings feels about her relationship. The guest will step onto a moving walkway that carries them very slowly from beginning to end. The excessively slow speed can give guest a chance to view the art while also representing how…

Display Explanation:

As guests walk in through two wide red doors, they are welcomed into an almost dome-like room. Three walls are painted with a warm tan color, each has its painting, adjacent walls are open space. The paintings are suspended fifteen feet above the audience, hanging by strings. The artwork is all framed in simplistic black frames. This allows the attention to be directed to the paintings. The art angles slightly downwards onto the viewers. The paintings are displayed at an acute angle. The audience looks up to observe the paintings. The first one their attention…

Display Explanation:

Once you enter the installation the spectator will immediately notice that the floor and ceiling are mirrors. Mirrors reflects the surface appearance of people. However, it also reflects the truth. Meaning that the visitor will have to see themselves regardless of where they look. In that way, the spectator is able to see both their outer and inner persona. Once they do and read the brochure provided by the gallery, they will be able to unintentionally think about their persona’s and it will become an experience for them through art. They will follow the signs…

Display Explanation:

The installation for these three pieces will be located in a room with only three walls, symbolizing the shape of a triangle. Each painting will be located on one of the walls. Meaning that it will be one painting per wall. All of the paintings will be hung in the center of the walls. All images will maintain their original size and have a golden frame. Inspired on the first painting, the walls will have a light blue color and have a design from the times that anticipated the first world war. The images will have lights behind and above them. In that way, a…

Display Explanation

This exhibition would be displayed in a plain white room, specifically to make Seule (Alone) and Frau bei der Selbstbefriedigung (Woman Masturbating)’s darker backgrounds pop, with all three pieces contained in floating frames. These are made from two panes of acrylic sheeting encasing the artwork to prevent a visible frame from surrounding its contents, giving the appearance that the pieces are floating and creating a three-dimensional effect. When coated with a non-glare finish, acrylic reduces reflections and glare and can enhance visibility…

Display Explanation

Upon entering the installation, visitors will encounter a carefully arranged space that guides them through different representations of female sexuality in early 20th-century art. The layout is designed to create a progression, moving from fragmentation to realism to sensual empowerment.

At the center of the room, Georges Braque’s Baigneuse (Le Grand Nu) (1908) will be displayed on a freestanding easel, slightly tilted forward. This positioning…
