This artwork was discovered on the 7th floor of the Newman Vertical Campus and was illustrated by Ralph Gibson. The medium of this piece is Chromogenic print; what makes this artwork interesting is the color composition and how it blends in with the doorman. The main components of this artwork are the diamond patterns, the doorman, and the color tones. The diamond pattern repeats as evident by the artwork. What is implied is the doorman is welcoming as he opens the doors for others; his service has a purpose. One question I have is why the artist chose to draw a doorman in particular? what inspired him to do so?

The historical context derived from the wall text is “Chez Bocuse, Lyon, France, 1991 From the portfolio Seen While Dining.” This piece was initially forged in France by Gibson and the alternative title for this is Seen while Dining. This appears to be a unique photographic print, it reminds me of a clip on YouTube I watched a while back where Jerry encounters a Doorman. The intended audience for this piece is anyone who goes to Baruch College including students, staff, professors, and visitors. I think the artist’s purpose is to show the things that people take for granted such as a door being opened for them. Perhaps he wanted to portray that people neglect the small things and those are the things that matter the most when visualizing something. The image appears to be cropped out and it is arranged by shapes and colors specifically the background. The elements in the artwork itself depict pathos since it evokes emotion and feelings. The overall effectiveness of this element is it sets the mood of the painting itself. The image makes me feel intrigued and astonished because of the visual appeal of the art.
