Tone

This painting is called "New Moon for an Old Landscape" the artist of the painting is Samuel Bak. Contemporary style.
The painting was made in 1933, with oil and canvas.
I Like this picture because the dark toned colours  like the dark blue sky, makes the whole painting stand out, and the little gaps of light in the sky make the whole thing look 3D.
However i when i look at this image, i don't quite understand the scenery  or what it's suppose to mean. Only that it's to do with damage destruction.

This Image is called "Abschied" by an artist called Emil Nolde.
The image was created in 1906, and uses etching and aquatint(tonal effect). The style of the image is German Expressionism. 
I like this image because, not only did the artist create tone, but created and added texture to the image by using lines and shape.

This is an image called "Child Among the Rocks, engraved by the Dalziel brothers" created by Arthur Boyd Houghton in 1865, and the image uses wood engraving on paper.
I have mixed opinions about this images. I like how the artist used cross hatching technique to create different tones. In spite of that, I also dislike the cross hatching, because I think there possibly too much of it. Even if the image consists of very fine accurate detail, I personally feel like there is too much going on in the image.

                                                                                                    This is an image is called "Fighter" created by an artist called Leon Golub in 1965, with lithograph on paper.
I am certain that in this image, the artist has shown a human figure, possibly a man, maybe the fighter itself. However I don't understand the colour choice. There is clearly darker red and lighter red colour used to show tone. Yet maybe the actually red represents the blood, relating back to the title of the "Fighter".

This is an image called "Confessions of a Justified Sinner" by an artist called John Bellany, created in 1972, with etching on paper. In person I find this image very amusing, because it is interesting and quite unexpected. I like the way the artist uses lines to create tones, and how the work is almost messy on purpose. As that creates a specific style to it.
