Note:
DO NOT go to the same gallery that you wrote about on Gallery Review #1.
This must be a Photographic exhibition, NO other forms of ART WORK.
If you deviate from the list of galleries, be sure to let your instructor know before you go to the gallery.
Avoid "Galleries" in malls. We are looking for classic galleries and museums.
If you quote anything from the show it's self or the website of the gallery you must attribute the source of that quote, if not you will be penalized for plagiarism.

Introduction
Photographs awaken nostalgia, allow the photographer to showcase interests, personal
style, adventures, and relationships. The photographic exhibition serves as a chronicle of our
experiences, who we were, what we have done, and where we have been. They tell the unspoken
stories. This report explores a gallery review, with the purpose of experiencing photography in a
gallery setting. The reviewed photographic exhibition is collected from the J. Paul Getty Museum,
and it includes posed portraits, untitled snapshots, and physiognomic studies, unsuspecting
expressions that offers a variety of human stories that photographs and facial countenances can
tell.
The Muscle of Sadness
The muscle of sadness is a black and white depressive albumen silver print glass negative

left/right, top/bottom, and the diagonal split of the image is identical to the other.

achieved because the elements of the photograph-lines, colors, space, and objects are distributed

in an equally weighted manner. When a viewer looks at each part, he or she holds interest and
becomes engaged. Therefore, this photograph is composed well. The photographer, GuillaumeBenjamin Duchenne de Boulogne was trying to pass a message of sadness or suffering to the
viewers. Titled as the Muscle of Sadness this photograph tells the viewer that the subject is
suffering as a result of the aging process, sickness or poverty. Nonetheless, it can be concretely
concluded that frowning as a result of illness is the key theme in the image. The background color;
black and white also indicates that the life of the subject is ...
