House 1, Nancy

This summer I interned in Washington, D.C. In Washington, D.C. there is a outdoor Sculpture Garden at the National Gallery of Art. Out of all the various artworks this one captured my attention the most. When you look at the house you think it's in 3D, but it actually one dimension. This house was created by artist Roy Lichtenstein and it is known as "House 1." As attractive this so called "3D house" is, I am not sure how to interpret it. After doing some research on the house and how it was done, I finally came up with an interpretation. As I said when a person looks at this house from a picture or distance they believe it is 3D, however as you look closer you realize it isn't. Sometimes in life people or situations seem to be in one view in generality but when we look closer, study, get to know, and learn the situation it may not be what we thought it was. I believe "House 1" represents this idea in some way by tricking the mind and telling the message that there are different ways to see things.
