The essay discusses artwork presented in several designs however the message depicted majors on a similar theme. The pieces have diverse feature which is prominent in adapting aesthetics thus giving unique forms. The four pieces of consideration are designed in painting which has got a diversity of ideas where expressions are meant to define the core philosophies with genuine basics. It was the use of oil and caravans in art response that influenced the preset-day architecture. With the many experienced cultural movements painting was the process which introduced visible ideas of artwork with functional and formal spaces (Secker & Warburg, 1980).
In our pieces painting is used in the designs because color does not necessary have particular rules but rather they have got a certain harmony which exudes from it. In the architecture color appears to be irregular to generate the fashion and design of art. The architect of postmodern architecture aims at creating structural defined and fixed characteristic for the architecture which in some instances seems to be a difficult task. The difficult part of the art work occurs since the design does not follow any principle but it also has an essential part of it where it uplifts the architecture as both functional and artistic in the environmental sector. The artist decides to design their pieces in oil and caravans to emulate desire since the architects have are able to introduce color, decoration and human (Secker & Warburg, 1980).

I n relation to the theme representation of women, the piece portrays the female femininity in one way expressly where Mary Magadalen was the first to see the risen Christ. The woman was the first to see Jesus again thus, her role are linked to the bible where she is able to bring life to the world (Burckhardt & Stoddart, 2013).

Compare and Contrast
The four pieces compares in one way or the other according to their medium as well as the message they portrays. The artisans in all the pieces used the oil caravans in their painting and that generates their similarities. Oil and caravans are preferred in such paintings because of various reasons one being that they ensures the image appearance creates a realistic imagination in the mind of the viewers. Despite the pieces similarities there are also differences in the colors used plus time depicted in the images.
