Compare Titian's Assumption and Friedman's Untitled in regard to historical and social context, visual presentation, and audience

What will be an ideal response?


Titian's Assumption is a religious painting not housed in a museum, but in a church, and created during a period when Christianity was a central aspect of society. Viewers experience the splendor of the setting when viewing it as a part of an altarpiece. The church becomes the museum. Friedman's Untitled requires the contemplative spaces of a contemporary gallery or museum. He believes the work's context resides in this space; if placed outside, it becomes a historical artifact in opposition to the original context.
