  • Venus In Botticellis Painting
    909 words
    The Birth of Venus The Birth of Venus is a beautiful Renaissance canvas masterpiece created by Sandro Botticelli. The picture illustrates the birth of Venus in a very mystical way. Venus has emerged from sea on a shell which is being driven to shore by flying wind-gods. She is surrounded by beautiful roses which are painted in a truly remarkable color. As she is about to step to land, one of the Hours hands her a purple cloak. The back drop includes the sea and a forest. The overall effect of th...
  • Impressionist Paintings Use Light And Color
    638 words
    The comments about Monets painting, Impression: Sunrise, gives an insight to the artistic vision in Waugh's Vile Bodies and Greene's Brighton Rock. Monets Impression: Sunrise is a famous and prime example of Impressionism. The impressionist style of painting is characterized by concentration on the general impression produced by a scene as an object and the use of unmixed primary colors and small strokes to simulate actual reflected light. (Web Museum) Impressionist paintings use light and color...
  • Blue And Rose Periods Picasso
    1,135 words
    Pablo Picasso Ruiz's art from 1904 to 1905 is classified under the indeterminate title, The Rose Period. Misleadingly, the colors in the rose period are not exclusively rose or light pink in color, but also in greens, blues, and reds. This brief surge of color comes after a time when Picasso depicts his subjects with a lack of coloration, mainly in a monochrome blue, hence it's name, The Blue Period. During the rose period Picasso turns away from painting people in despair, [his] new approach wa...
  • Works And The Artists
    726 words
    Review #1: New Generation Detroit I went to visit this art exhibit on Friday September 7th, the opening night. I had never been to the Meadowbrook Art Gallery so I had no idea what to expect. It was a smaller gallery than I thought it would be, but it didn't matter when I took a look at the pieces that were on display. This exhibit was definitely edgy and not really what I'm used to seeing. I could tell that these are new artists that are beginning to start a new trend in today's modern art worl...
  • Scream Munch
    1,101 words
    The Scream For my paper I selected The Scream by Edvard Munch on page 398. Edvard Munch is looked upon as one of the most significant influences on the development of expressionism. Edvard Munch was quoted as saying "We want more than a mere photograph of nature. We do not want to paint pretty pictures to be hung on drawing-room walls. We want to create, or at least lay the foundations of, an art that gives something to humanity. An art that arrests and engages. An art created of one's innermost...
  • Painting On The Wall Behind The Figure
    1,214 words
    Marcel Duchamp and the Red Nude The piece that I chose as my subject for this essay is titled Red Nude. This painting was done in oil on canvas. The name of the artist who painted this piece is Marcel Duchamp. In the next few paragraphs I will be doing the following: giving a description of the painting and doing an aesthetic analysis which includes interpretation and evaluation. This painting which was done by Marcel Duchamp is exactly what it states in the title. It is a red nude. This is a pa...
  • Cezanne's Portrait The Color
    1,916 words
    What's in a Portrait? What's in a portrait? Is it simply just a photographic image of a person only done in oil paints, or is there much more to it? Is a portrait a way of peeling away the layers of a person and visually representing who they really are? Gericault's Monomania: Portrait of an Excessively Jealous Woman and Cezanne's Madame Cezanne in the Conservatory are both portraits of women. Even though these paintings are portraits of women they are completely different portraits. These are n...
  • Influence Of Ruskin On The Pre Raphaelites
    1,077 words
    In 1849, Dante Gabriel Rossetti showed his very first oil painting during the first exhibition season after the formation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, alongside Millais' Isabella and William Holman Hunt's Rienzi Vowing to Obtain Justice for the Death of His Young Brother. While the group was short lived and never formed an official mission statement, "the combination of inexperience, collaborative ness, and sheer impact that distinguished the first years of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood i...
  • Art History Henri Matisse
    1,301 words
    Art History Henri Matisse: Goldfish Henri Emoile Matisse, born in 1869, is regarded as one of the "great formative figures in 20th-century art", as well as the leader of the Fauve group. Fauvism is defined as "an early-20th-century movement in painting begun by a group of French artists and marked by the use of bold, often distorted forms and vivid colors". Matisse was associated with this group due to his use of vivid colors, as well as his unusual style of presenting objects. Many critics at t...
  • Center Of Arts And Painting
    1,961 words
    Gjikondi 1 Eldorado Gjikondi Instructor: Theresa Joseph English 101 March 29, 2000 VAN GOGH Art is a severe Goddess, who in return for her smiles demands many sacrifices. No one did more to please her, and no one was so insufficiently rewarded as Van Gogh. Several times the blows that she dealt him were painful enough to make any reasonable man resign. Only fanaticism and faith in her would permit one to leap the abyss between reality and desire. With cruel, merciless method, art asked from Van ...
  • Boccioni's Dynamism Of A Soccer Player
    1,034 words
    During the first decade of the twentieth century, a group of young Italian painters united together, under the influence of poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Before creating their new style, these painters embraced the ideas of Marinetti's The Foundation and Manifesto of Futurism which appeared in the newspaper Le Figaro on February 20, 1909 (Tindall 7). His manifesto of futurism was primarily concerned with peo try, but artists such as Boccioni, Balla, and Severini used his ideas and applied them...
  • Gorky And Van Beyeren Pieces
    1,671 words
    Still Life Paper Assignment In A Roemer with Grapes, a Pewter Plate and a Roll, van Beyeren depicts a pewter with some grapes on it on a table with a glass of what I see as wine, and off to the side there is a roll with some sort of topping. My first thought was that this was a snack / meal for someone of the upper or upper- middle class. The caption said, however, that this was a painting of an everyday scene. I can only derive two things: 1) van Beyeren was upper or upper-middle class 2) peopl...
  • Purple Robe For A Painting
    865 words
    Henri Matisse "Purple Robe and Anemones" Henri Matisse, the leader of the Fauvist movement and master of aesthetic order, was born in Le Cateau-Cambresis in northern France on December 31, 1869. The son of a middle-class family, he studied and began to practice law. In 1890, however, while recovering slowly from an attack of appendicitis, his mother bought him a paint set and he became intrigued by the practice of painting. In 1892, having given up his law career, he went to Paris to study art f...
  • Death Of Socrates Caravaggio
    1,151 words
    Comparing and contrasting two artists as talented as Caravaggio and David is not an easy feat. Each artist was known for doing extraordinary things in their time. Both their techniques and styles will live on in the art world forever. Caravaggio and David both have a distinct style that holds them apart from other painters. Each had there own way of representing the subject to the fullest. In this essay I will compare and contrast four paintings Caravaggio's the calling of Saint Matthew and the ...
  • Water Moves Back In The Painting
    1,518 words
    To speak of Renoir is to speak of color. It is true that all the Impressionists worshipped color and light. In Renoir's work the use of color merges together like a ecstatic feast, the light takes on material qualities, it foams and sparkles in his pictures. The colors illuminate the surroundings like precious stones illuminate a piece of undisturbed earth. Renoir used brilliant colors in his early works but seems not to have reached full maturity in his paintings till later, in which color beco...
  • Corner Of The Painting
    847 words
    Upon my entrance of the Native American exhibit my feeling was, "Let's get this over with". Equipped with my clipboard, pencil and vague memories of past history lessons I entered a white room that would instantly add color and perspective to my life. The paintings, sculptures and displays shocked me to the realization of the turmoil, pride and heritage felt and expressed by the Native American artists. With only stereotypical images of Indians with their feathers and bows and arrows as previous...
  • Lucian Freud's Main Characteristic In Painting
    1,549 words
    By 1962, the term New Realism was being used in the United States and France (where it was called Nouveau Realism) as a name for Pop Art. That use never caught on in the United States, and then the term began to signify instead, a new breed of Realism. "The traditional variety had linked humanistic content with the illusionistic representation of observed reality and the rejection of flattened pictorial space derived from Abstraction". Today's realists are signaling a return to values rejected b...
  • Textures And Colors Of The Piece
    460 words
    Upon my visit to Gallery V at 694 N. High St. in Columbus, OH, the first thing to catch my eye was a medium sized painting hanging in the gallery office. The light seemed to dance and intermingle with the textures and colors of the piece causing it to have a shimmering visual effect. I inquired the gallery director as to the artist and name of the work and was met with "That's a popular artist that we " ve shown twice here at Gallery V... Jules Olitski". I was granted permission to enter the off...
  • Salome And John The Baptist's Head
    1,578 words
    ARTI INSTITUE OF CHICAGO Landscape with the Ruins of Castle of England The color usage, odd balance, and setting of the painting compel the viewer to experience a mixture of feelings. The picture is very dark and gloomy especially with looming overhead clouds. The weather seems to parallel the castle's broken stature. The singular remaining tower stands prominent in the skyline above the rolling hills and trees, yet it is still crumbling. There are subtle things, like the shepherd and flock, and...
  • Starry Night And Wheat Field With Crows
    889 words
    The three works that I chose to analyze were done in two different periods; two were post impressionistic and one was impressionistic. Vincent VanGogh and Claude Monet are artists that are both memorable and timeless in their expression of art. Impressionism was developed in France and the followers of the movement were dedicated to make their art reflect contemporary realty in their society. On the other hand Post-Impressionism does not denote a single style, while the artists sought to bring m...
