Your reproduction is so great! I love it! I can see that by incorporating your own understanding to this painting you go beyond simply imitating Kupka's style. For example, you used your own palette (red, green and blue), and replaced straight lines with curves, which gave me a familiar yet fresh feeling of the work.
The only suggestion I could give is about the face. I think Kupka's work presents a sense of contradiction and a symbol of struggle. Maybe he is struggling between the orphist style and the realistic one. As an audience, I would regard the contradiction as the key feature of Mme Kupka Among Verticals, but in your rendition, the face and the rest of the painting do not conflict each other obviously. I think maybe you can paint the hair against the hair line instead of along it to create stronger conflict, or use a color palette that is different from the hair.
Overall, I really appreciate your personal style in this reproduction! Great job!!
Creativity- The recreation takes a spin on the original painting, by incorporating a different color pallet and a different arrangement, but maintains the original art style. Impressive!
Execution- You did a great job embodying the same art style without copying the original painting. I think that the black shadow does distract from the color of the rest of the painting, though. My eyes were drawn into the black due to the contrast, but I believe the focus should be the color instead.
Context- The work shows understanding of the original artist's style.
Documentation- The documentation was clear and easy to understand! It was interesting to hear the history of the painting.
The artist research is adequate, and by delving into it that far, you were able to produce an interesting final project. The difference between the works is meaningful and you really embraced the style of art while creating something that was your own. You could have gone further in your product and reflection documentation.
