My conclusion of Aron’s work which I have redrawn.
Basically what I think of Kalman Aron is he was very young when he started to paint, at 3, and his first exhibition was held when he was 7 and on 13 the president asked him to paint him.
The main story is that he was Jewish and he survived the holocaust by drawing portraits. He got a lot of experience in portrait and help him to understand it better. In his isolation in the camps, e was still a good observer of and empathizer with those around him.
In my opinion, so when you look at his images the eyes are intense and the hand shows the pressure on his face when you look at the skin. That is what I understand with psychological intensity.
Psychological intensity work. which means, what I got from the internet and I quote: "
“the strength of any behavior, such as an impulse or emotion. 3. the strength of an individual's performance in some activity or field with reference to one or more of the following attributes: arousal, commitment, effort, assertiveness, and attentional focus. Also called performance intensity."
My Conclusion about Irma Stern's work:
Irma Stern a South African artist, whose expressive portraits rendered in saturated colors wherefrom her most widely known pieces. She traveled throughout Africa to capture the likenesses and landscapes of the continent.
In 1916 she had her first solo show with the help of German painter Max Pechstein, and her exposure to Expressionism would figure heavily as an influence on her career.
I went in dept of what color saturation means. It refers to the intensity of color in an image. The expression of the bandwidth of light from sources. Hue refers to the color of the image itself, while saturation describes the intensity(purity) of that hue. When a color is fully saturated, the color considered in the purest version. Red, blue, and yellow are considered as the truest version of color as they are fully saturated.
So to go deeper in Hue it is more specifically described by the dominant wavelength and is the first item we refer to(i.e. "yellow") when adding in the three components of a color. Hue is also a term which describes a dimension of color we readily experience when we look at the color, or its purest form; it essentially refers to a color having full saturation, as follow:
When discussing "pigment primaries"(CMY), no white no black, or gray is added.
When discussing spectra "light primaries" (RGB), a pure hue equivalent to full saturation is determined by the ration of the dominant wavelength or other wavelengths in the color.
Saturation(intensity) or chroma
Saturation defines the brilliance and intensity of a color. When a pigment hue is "toned", both white and black are added to the color to reduce the color's saturation.
Desaturation: hue becomes less dominant.
All color starts with light and the three primary hues in light are red, green, and blue.
