Get off on the Right Foot – Hank Willis Thomas

by: Klaudia Kapo, Weronika Patycka


We focused primarily on the formal and historical analysis. We focused on the contrast of color and shapes in the formal analysis. We also mentioned mentioned how the facial expression alters the perception of the photo, while also comparing the two subjects, the shoe and the woman. For historical analysis, we thought about how corporate America has an effect on the way we see culture, especially sneaker-head culture. Overall, we looked at the image through a feminist perspective, focusing on how the image showed longing and was sexualized. We did not include much of the subject analysis since we did not mention how the image made us feel, instead we focused on the background and technical aspects. If we had more time, we would like to have researched more on the artist and discuss the importance of the piece in the exhibit.
