The artist of the artwork Quiet Gray with Red Reverberations #2, 2014 is painted by Jennie C. Jones. She is an American Artist in Brooklyn. Work described by Ken Johnson as minimalism with tribute to diverse genres of music from the 1960s. Associated, with the suppression and mute to today’s date and age, it is a tribute to both genres of music. Recipient of the 2012 Joyce Alexander Wien Prize, honored for commitment and innovation (1). It is an anticipated translation from the artist of musical elements into a physical form and mental image, offering a sense …show more content…
The artist pursues to carry the physical and mental forms of musical elements to the day and age from the 1960s. It was what artists and audiences had intended and desired with what Jones and society demands today. The work is serving audiences in different date of age, hinting contrasting interpretations and understandings. The iconographic argument always depends upon amassing historical information to modernize these interpretations for the market.

It can be also described as an altered form of art or simply a new form of art. Thus, the adjustment is in materials for a suppressed to mute sound, the minimalistic ideology, and the transcendence of art and sound connected altogether because of the present-day in art and music changing by time. It has always been what the audience had desired, something more and something different. The artists simply openly take out of what is inside them and present it before them.
