                                  AutoSpell by Jesse Treece

I think the subject matter of this painting is technology. The artist was probably trying to say that in this advanced era of technology we want to get everything done by a click of a button. We want everything to be as easy as possible that we even want the computer to spell our words instead of typing. The two strategies being used are text+image and juxtaposition. The text  "AutoSpell" is found on the key. Without the text and its font we wouldn't know whether they key was an eraser, or just a simple button. If the artist had not placed the text where it is then the message wouldn't be as clear. It would not have the effect that we rely too mush on technology. There is juxtaposition because the large key and small man in the yellow wardrobe are placed side by side. They are different objects placed next to each other.
