Principles of Design

The work of art I looked at with my partner was called "Dempsey & Firpo." by George Bellows. It depicted one boxer knocking another out of the ring. There was Emphasis on the boxers because there was light on them and they were in the middle of the ring. The picture's balance was asymmetrical and movement was implied. It was clearly shown in the punch thrown and the boxer falling. There was proportion on the picture, because audience members were at different distances. All the people were grouped together, and the light shone in a way to contrast the boxers from the audience members.
