Paintings Of Mark Messersmith
532 wordsThe paintings of Mark Messersmith are the most chaotic and confusing works of art I have ever laid eyes on. It is very hard to grasp the effects and themes the artist was trying to convey when painting these scenes. The scenes are very busy and tend to move your attention from one point to another which makes interpretation even harder. One particular painting, Wakulla, was especially odd. In this painting you are looking at the scene from the height of the surrounding trees, almost as if you ar...

Scenes On The Side Of The Cradle
819 wordsGallery Write-up 1. There are a number of references to motherhood in Katrin Wiese's work. Although I never felt as though she was shunning motherhood, I do believe she is expressing how the task of being a mother completely engulfs a person. However this is but issue I found in her work that is relates to our class so far. Much of her is a representation of how females struggle with discrimination, racism, and sexism throughout every day life. Some of her work is so direct that even I could gra...

High Renaissance Style Paintings
877 wordsThe three pieces discussed in this essay are all closely related to popes of the Roman Catholic Church. Michelangelo's The Last Judgment, Raphael's School of Athens and Pietro da Cortona's Glorification of the Reign of Urban V not only have their relation to a particular pope in common, but also are very good reflections of the artistic movements and historical events of the time in which each work was done. Raphael's The School of Athens was a work done on one wall of the Stanza della Seg natur...

Fryd's Essay On Edward
481 wordsIt can certainly be argued that most artists are trying to express something through their work, either to an audience or themselves. When a single theme continuously appears in one's catalog, it suggests that this subject is an important one to the artist. The most convincing pieces of evidence supporting the importance of women in Edward Hopper's paintings are, how frequently they appear, the way in which they are shown, or not shown and the dominant role they take in the painting. The fact th...

Francis Bacon And Damien Hirst
4,194 wordsYOUNG BRITISH ARTISTS OF TWO ERA'S FRANCIS BACON & DAMIEN HIRST The themes of time, decay and flesh, coupled with death and destruction are subjects, which seem to hold a particular fascination for two artists of the twentieth century; Francis Bacon and Damien Hirst.

In general it seems that popular artists through the age...

Raphael's Work
2,074 wordsThe "rebirth" of art in Italy, otherwise known as the Renaissance, was connected with the rediscovery of ancient philosophy, literature, and science and the development of methods in these fields using keen observation.

Because of this, religious themes became increasingly important to artists, and with the large interest in the Middle Ages came a new idea for subjects drawn from Greek and R...

Contemporary Artist
810 wordsP 2 P (peer to peer) Sharing -Crime or Artistic Justice The mark of artistic talents has traditionally not been something quantifiable measured in dollars and cents. Shakespeare was all but a pauper, Michelangelo rather middle class while Pablo Picasso died broke.

One can hardly turn on a computer without being told what products to put on one's...

Disturbing For An Artist Like Gentileschi
993 wordsArtemesia Gentileschi Artemesia Gentileschi Artemesia Gentileschi Essay, Research Paper Artemesia Gentileschi was very different from other artists of her time. Being a woman painter was all but unheard of during the High Renaissance. She had the style of Caravaggio, while at the same time bringing in women's characters who were in the position of power.
