In the sculpture created by Stella Tyler titled Sunset a woman is positioned over a rock, hanging off the side of it. She seems depressed and her face is not showing. The positioning of the woman could represent her feelings of lost hope, and reaching out to receive hope. Her hidden face could be representing these same in her feelings, or that she is hiding from everyone, how she truly feels. There maybe more feelings underneath, which could be the reasoning behind her nudity. By stripping away her clothing, and leaving her bare it is stripping away layers of her and brining out her true-self. Many could see Stella Tyler’s artwork as herself. Maybe she is describing her own feelings as a woman in the 20th century trying to get out her artwork. She could be frustrated and depressed, but at the same time powerful and wanting to get women’s art noticed. She also could have wanted to establish herself as Stella Tyler the artist opposed to just another member of the wealthy Tyler family. I feel as though Stella was creating the artwork for not only her own pleasure but for the pleasure of others. She wanted the people viewing her artwork to be able to connect to the artwork, and feel that it had special meaning to them, as it did to Tyler. Spectators can draw connections to this specific sculpture Stella Tyler by examining her artwork and herself.
