The color pink in art is representative of romance, feminism and sensitivity; however, pink can also be a color that is bold, striking and stands out!
Ballet on pink, Katya Medvedeva, 2004 - 2004, From the collection of: Museum of Fine Arts in Peredelkino
This painting shows off the more feminine and gentle side of pink. I chose to include this painting in my gallery because it demonstrates the way these particular shades of pink make you feel.
Portrait of a Lady in Pink, Fang Junbi (Fan Tchun-pi), 1926, From the collection of: Long Museum West Bund
In this portrait, the color pink is used on the woman's clothing and face in order to make her look more feminine. She gives off a very non threatening vibe despite her stern expression.
Portrait of the Marquise de Miramon, née Thérèse Feuillant, Jacques Joseph Tissot, 1866, From the collection of: The J. Paul Getty Museum
In this portrait, the color pink is giving off a more romantic appeal. This light shade of pink, as I previously mentioned, is very indicative of feminism and passiveness.
Jump Suit, Caftan, MORI Hanae, 1966, From the collection of: Iwami Art Museum
This darker shade of pink makes the color even more representative of romance. This lovely, rose color is absolutely beautiful and much more lustful than the other shades.
pink wonderland, Be Free, 2013/2013, From the collection of: All Those Shapes
In this room pink was dripped down the walls adding a pop of color to the room. This gave the room a very interesting effect. Once again, females are enormously associated with the color pink.
Three Flower Bouquet with Ribbon Paperweight, Cristallerie de Clichy, 1845-1855, From the collection of: Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass
In this work, the color pink is used in a very gentle way. The center flower has been painted pink to create an eye catching focal point in a very subtle manner.
Mullein Pink, Herman Saftleven, 1680, From the collection of: Harvard Art Museums
In this painting that dark passionate pink is used. This really makes the petals on the flower pop. The pink instantly draws your eye to the middle of the painting creating a focal point.
7.16.08, Lady Pink, 2008-07-16, From the collection of: Street Art NYC
In this graffiti style art, pink is once again, not only associated with femininity, but also is used as a pop of color. The pink in the wings makes them stand out from the work around them.
Lady of the Leaf (a remix), Lady Pink, 2013-07-19/2013-07-28, From the collection of: WALL\THERAPY
Here, in another graffiti style piece, the light pinks are the focal point for the piece. By placing pink in the center of the work the artist was able to control what people notice first. You are immediately drawn to the pink.
Untitled - (Pink Lady), Sam Rodriguez, 2014-07-18/2014-07-27, From the collection of: WALL\THERAPY
This piece is done using a lot more pink than we have previously seen. The very light pink shades used in the background of this art work make the other colors pop more.
Untitled - working progress, Buff Monster, 2014-10-25, From the collection of: Outdoor Project
In this artwork the artist used all pink with black outlining. The darker pink in the eye makes it stand out well from the lighter pink of the blob. The white highlights help as well.
Conception in Pink, Alois Mitter, 1986, From the collection of: Egon Schiele Art Centrum
Here, pink is used in the background to eccentuate the orange figure in the foreground. These pinks are very deep hot pinks that are said to make one feel lustful.
Ericifolia, Stephen Bush, 2004, From the collection of: Art Gallery of New South Wales
This work is done in a very bright lime green color; however, the bright pink shades the artist placed in the sky really help to make the artwork pop. It also gives a much warmer feel to the piece as pink is a warm color.
Pink Bathtub, Abdul Rahim Sharif, From the collection of: Barjeel Art Foundation
In this artwork pink is used as a background color. I think this was a very good choice for this piece. It gives the work a soft feel and brings out the colors in the tub. It also plays well off the green color under the tub.
Untitled (Wazoneka), Nicholas Hlobo, 2007, From the collection of: SCAD Museum of Art
I love the way that pink was used in this piece. That dark rose colored pink is used to bring out the figure in the center. This, once again, creates a focal point for the piece and makes it very striking and eye catching.
