Tara's respnse to The Magic Mirror
I analyzed the painting before i read Edward Hirsch's poem. I was wondering how the title can relate to the picture and it took me a couple times to see the magic mirror. The artist used different techniques to reveal the women shown in the picture. I also think that he used certain colors to give you an idea of nature. The one women in the painting looks different than the one reflected in the mirror. "I have imagined it all in slow motion- their two bodies come together as one." It looks like the bodies are the same people but their faces are completely different. I see two different birds in this painting, but they are reflected in the mirror. The mockingbird of grief , the nasty crow." I see this allusion in the painting.
