The moment I saw Vincent Van Gogh’s painting, Irises, I knew this was the perfect piece to learn more about its distinguishable design. By looking at his artwork the first thing that came to my mind was Paul Cezanne’s The Basket of the Apples. Cezanne’s painting simply depicts a veneer-made container holding apples on a table with other items, while Van Gogh’s work displays an outdoor image of blue flowers called irises. Even though the artworks do not present the same material, both the fruits and blossoms were completely removed from its natural configurations. These masterpieces, led me to the notion that there lies a connection between them, but after doing research I found a number of differences that splits Van Gogh’s and Cezanne’s artistic…
The small streaks that are only visible if seen in person allow the viewer’s attention to be easily directed to the content. Without the visualization of Clements’ brush stokes the viewer would not have an as clear next point to focus on which may lead to a different content. The work is surrounded by similar floral paintings done by Clements. Because the artwork is purposed to be sold in a gallery, the situation the artwork is in has its own positive and negative aspects depending on perspective. The gallery shows many artworks which can be viewed free of charge, but the main purpose of the art is to be eventually be sold for profit one again having a pleasant exterior and a darker center.…
When comparing the lines in the Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night painting and Sol LeWitt’s the Wall Drawing No. 681, the lines are the opposite. In the Starry Night painting the lines of the sky are very curvy and flowing, but the lines of the buildings are very straight. The artist in this painting is showing you a vision he has had during the time he was in the asylum. The lines of the sky are erratic, and it shows how the artist was feeling very unstable during the time he painted the piece. You can feel how peaceful the buildings are, but the sky is not peaceful. The artist is fighting with himself, and it shows in the painting. The Wall Drawing No.681 shows very straight and precise lines. The artist is feeling very controlled as he painted the piece. The lines appear to be mathematical, each of the lines are the same in length and distance. As you look at each of the lines, the colors are used more than once, but the tense of the color has changed. The lines in the piece are very organized.…

Arkansas Barley Fields illustrates multiple visual elements of art and also principles of design. The visual elements employed consists of space, time and motion, and line. Multiple lines are shown in this painting; regular and irregular lines, implied line and communicative lines. Freud uses natural and organic lines for the landscape of this artwork. The grass located in the front of the barley and the barley itself illustrates irregular lines. Irregular lines at first, may seem chaotic and maybe even scribbled, which is exactly what seems to be the issue in the illustration of the barley. Though the lines seem scribbled, the painting as a whole is controlled and easy to view and comprehend. Irregular lines can be described as free and unrestrained and are defined as the reflection of the wildness of nature, chaos and accident, unlike regular lines, which express control and planning. Regular lines are illustrated in the bark of the trees. The lineup of the trees not only express regular lines, but also implied line. In this artwork, implied line is shown in the lineup of the trees and also in the lineup of the barley. There is not an actual line portrayed but the way that the trees and barley are positioned causes an implied line. Since Freud uses irregular lines in the illustration of the barley, the "chaos" would also be conveyed by using communicative diagonal lines, which…

From afar Georges Seurat’s Study for A Sunday on la Grande Jatte looks like a painting that uses lines to outline and give detail to every person and object. However, as you zoom closer to the painting you see that lines were not used but rather points of various colors were meshed together so that they can blend in to the perspective of the viewer. This famous technique that contrasts pigments was known as pointillism, but George Seurat called it divisionism where he separates color into small portions placed side by side forming an intricate…
The lines in this creation I believe would be considered implied because no definite line was used to create it. The shapes are more organic but there are some geometric shapes that create the masterpiece that rests in the Bellagio. The mass is implied, giving it a look of density that isn’t actually there, much like the illusion of depth because if you were to look up at the art it would seem as if you were looking into a new dimension that could continue as deep as you saw. This is an example of linear perspective, how you look-how you see, if one was to look up from the floor the art would look deeper than if one was on the ceiling looking 4 feet from it. The shapes overlap and were placed there for a reason, I believe it was to aid in the translucent ending of the art, giving it a deeper view. I do not notice if time or motion is evident because to me I believe that each line, each shape was placed a specific way to capture the beauty as a whole. I think that the use of real light is present, yet the brightness of the colors could illuminate by themselves. This…

The show at MoMA makes it clear that such categories can’t contain these artists and may only obscure what modernism is all about." ( Smithsonian n,d 2017 ), Paul Cézanne’s, The Large Bathers. Refer to specific visual references as "The bottle looks tipsy and the cookies are very odd indeed. The cookies stacked below the top layer seem as if they are viewed from the side, but at the same moment, the two on top seem to pop upward as if we were looking down at them. This is an important key to understanding the questions that we've raised about Cézanne's pictures so far. Cézanne pushed this distinction between the vision of the camera and of human vision. He reasoned that the same issues applied to the illusionism of the old masters, of Raphael, Leonardo, Caravaggio, etc. For instance, think about how linear perspective works. Since the Early Renaissance, constructing the illusion of space required that the artist remains frozen at a single point in space in order maintain consistent recession among all receding orthogonal. This frozen vantage point belongs to both the artist and then the viewer. But is it a full description of the experience of human sight? Cézanne's still life suggests that it is…
