Analysis Of Cow's Skull: Red, White, And Blue

Georgia O’Keeffe was a superb artist, not only was her work flawless, she also created work that emotionally meant something to her. Which brings us to her painting Cow’s Skull: Red, White, and Blue, this piece was an oil canvas creation, which explains it’s scratchy texture, considering that canvas is made out of terry cloth. The size of this painting (39 7/8 x 7/8 in.) did this painting justice. O’Keeffe did a great bit of traveling, and when she did, she captured the world around her, painting what she felt was important. The Metropolitan Museum of Art states, “After her first extended trip to the Southwest in 1929, her artistic interests shifted from the buildings of New York to the nature of New Mexico.” In 1931, Georgia created this ingenious
1610, the Renaissance era, by artist Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi). The line work gives emphasis to their clothing, how their body language is supposed to be portrayed, and their movement, the woman and man pointing at Peter, Peter trying to explain his cause. The different variety of movements is what helps to tell the story.

Moreover, this painting is fantastic, because every element helped make it what it
Even though Van Gogh made beautiful works of art like the one shown above, Undergrowth with Two Figures, the thoughts that he harvested drove him completely insane. In reality his art was his good side, his only solitude. Undergrowth with Two Figures was created in 1890 the same year that Van Gogh took his own life. This painting was one of the many he did before he died, however he told his brother the meaning of the painting to him. The painting displays tons of space in between trees, which appear to be proportional, making everything feel really three-dimensional. The trees forms range from big to small, however they are all balanced, in height, ascending way beyond the size of the oil-based canvas (19 ½ x 39 ¼ in.). The color in this piece was especially important, even the background appears to be dark behind the trees, but he chose to surround, the two companions, in white and yellow flowers, and luscious greenery. The trees all have a similar blue tint pattern, maybe because they are deep within the forest with only each other, which if you think about it, it is extremely romantic for
