![]() ![]() Those people were put in an impossible situation, and shouldn't be blamed for whatever choice they made. And then there were the millions of people who were bullied or coerced into taking the shots, on pain of being fired from their jobs or deprived of being with their kids or elderly parents, or whatever. Of course, the people who believed the government's lies had no way of knowing how badly they were being deceived. Some people believed the government's assurances about it being "completely safe and effective" and incapable of changing human DNA. OTOH those who didn't get the vax for their own reasons aren't really being criticized by the vaccinated for not doing so. Some probably knew the risks, but did so anyway to keep a job, a spouse, etc. I don't really see a lot of criticism of those who, for whatever reason(s) decided to get the vaccine. For me, this work is oppressive, anxious, and cold, and while filled with people going about their lives, there’s very little humanity. The deep blackness caused by the heavy downpour and the bright yellow glare of the lights removes any real detail in the work. They also replace the natural din of human interaction with the noise of car engines, horns, brake squeals, and trains running of tracks. These machines replace humanity and, for me, create a colder setting. ![]() ![]() While Ury eliminates any specific image of humans, their presence is everywhere-in the trains, cars, and artificial light. Those lines anchor the yellow and reduces its power. This bright color is limited to outlining the lines diverging from the vanishing point. All lights are non-natural and low to the ground. It’s raining very hard, but there’s no lightning, and the downpour eliminates the moon and stars. Ury paints car and train lights, and street lamps but no buildings. Its brightness can be dominant, so Ury controls it to representing small, limited areas of artificial light. Yellow is a brilliant color that can explode out of the black. The only other color used in any real abundance is yellow. This focuses my vision on the large, black truck bearing down on me and I suddenly feel the need to get out of its way, fast. The headlights and streetlights outline the lines that converge at the vanishing point directly in front of me, creating a tunnel-like effect. I am at the bottom of this “hill” and everything seems to flow towards me. It has a slight slope to it and it becomes crowded with vehicles. By raising the horizon, Ury enlarges the street and the space it occupies. I am no longer a passive viewer in a gallery I am in this city, crossing this street on this dark, rainy night. These lines surround me and I am sucked in to the scene. As a result, the lines of the work radiate out from a high point in the work, directly at me. The visual focal point of the work, called the vanishing point, is just left of center and the horizon line is just above. In this work, Ury uses line, perspective, color, and light to give the viewer an impression of a busy, cosmopolitan train station during the German Interwar Period.Īs a viewer, I am brought into the work by Ury’s use of line and perspective. These subjects vary in time of day and season, but Ury is most known for his night-time images of café and street life. While his landscapes present wide-angled vistas of rolling hills and lush countryside, his cityscapes give the viewer an impression of a close, compact, bustling urban life. Updated internal game libraries to latest version.Ury was a German landscapist who also dabbled in Biblical scenes in his later life. ![]() So what are you waiting for? Give this a go! Guess a word!
