Original Artwork- “Thérèse Dreaming” by Balthasar Klossowski
Statement: Balthasar Klossowski created the painting I am recreating. It's called “Thérèse Dreaming”. Balthus was French and painted figures and landscapes. Both of his parents were painters and he grew up in Paris. Some people thought he was a pervert because he was always painting adolescent girls.
I choose the recreate this artwork because it was the easiest of the three that I had picked. Also, I really like animals, so the cat in the painting stood out to me. As soon as a saw it an idea of how to recreate it popped into my head. As I began thinking about it, there was a lot I could do with this painting. This symbolizes that teens are always sleeping because we don't get enough sleep at night but animals like cats get to sleep all they want and do whatever they want whenever they want.
I used primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. The emotions in the artwork are calm but contrasting so the tiger stands out. I changed the colors because a tiger isn't the same color of a house cat and to make it pop. Some of the colors are the same though. I changed the house cat to a tiger, the milk to meat and water, the girl to a zookeeper, and the background to an animal enclosure.
