1. This painting of Sir Thomas More by Hans Holbein is an iconic painting, because the painting doesn't have any direct relationship with the person depicted in the painting. He made this painting to become friends with More who was a powerful speaker in the English parliament.
2. The Yves Klein, Anthropometry is an indexical painting because it is a true representation of the relationship between the image which is depicted as proof. The blue paint shows that Klein had used naked female models who were covered in the blue paint and were laid on the canvas to create this image.
3. This is a symbolic painting since it represents love. If you tilt your head to the right, you can see an image of a heart which we relate to love.
4. This painting would be considered both iconic and indexical because the nude female model in the back is blurred which shows that she doesn't really have a relationship with the painting. It's indexical because the woman sitting on the chair is right in the front and not blurred out showing us that she was there at the time.
