9/13-9/17 # 1



One thing that I like about this painting is the simplicity of it. I like that there is nothing complicated about it. I think the meaning behind this painting is to show us that even if we can't see it, things can still be fragile and ready to break. When the cup is solid, we tend to forget that that the egg is still there and can be broken very easily. It isn't until the cup begins to fade that we are brought back to reality and we realize what we forgot.I also like the fact that the whole thing is on a checkerboard. I do not know why but it seems to add a sort of elegance to the whole painting.
