Metropolitan Museum of Art - Mercury Zone III

1. The painting entitled "Mercury Zone III" was created by Al Held in 1975. It was made using acrylic on canvas with the dimensions H. 96 x W. 143 inches.
2. I think the artist was trying to bear witness to shapes in 3-dimensional views. Also how they appear within each other as well.
3. The artist communicated this story visually by showing his understanding on how shapes look in 3-dimensional views. As well as how shapes would look when put inside within another shape.
4. I don't know how this painting was made but I'm assuming it was done with technology. The circles look perfectly drawn to be down by hand without using some sort of technology. Maybe done by a compass and the straight lines were probably created using a ruler. It looks like the artist used different brush sizes as well.
5. The materials or manner in which they are applied helps the artist tell his story because they show 3-dimensional views of the shapes and were drawn well.
6. I picked this work of art because Math is my favorite subject and

I like how all these shapes are drawn.
