Image by Gottfried Helnwein Cont.

The change in viewpoint does not change my interpretation of the image, as I did not originally think the image was photoshopped. Helnwein's image is of a large painting/image installed on the side of a building. The image is of a young girl who is blonde, pale, and has blue eyes. She appears to be wearing some sort of makeup or powder that makes her face more white. On the ground next to the painting there is people, a car, and a body f water. In the background behind the building you can see the cloudy sky and some trees. The size of it could make it more powerful and in your face. The material seems to be a poster or maybe a fabric of some sort. The image is in an urban area and is probably intended for a wide and diverse audience of people. The mood of this image is sad and sorrowful (?).  Something seems to have the girl's attention, and it's like she is looking directly at the viewer,  and creates a weird sense of intimacy.
