    The piece of art I chose from this chapter is the oil painting Nighthawks by Edward Hopper. Created in 1942, Nighthawks depicts a lonely, all-night diner with three seated customers as well as one worker (Artic). The piece itself gives off isolated and empty theme; this is largely due to Hopper’s use of space and color. The aforementioned diner is the only light source within the painting, leaving the an eerie, fluorescent glow on the surrounding outside area (Totally History). Nighthawks’ historical context relates back to the Great Depression era (Kleiner 936).…

    As an art student, I find the art that we learn about in class very interesting because it is art that I would never be interested in, but yet after learning the details I enjoy them. Although I don’t mind learning art through power points, I find physically looking at art more enjoyable. Getting the whole experience of physical artwork is a more exciting way to learn and catches my interest more, which is why I was so excited to visit a new museum and look at some art. For this assignment I decided to go to the LACMA museum. I have been to many museums before, but I have not visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art yet so I was very excited. I find a lot of art very fascinating, but I am more interested in the more contemporary and modern arts. I am a design major so I was drawn to the sculptural art pieces that were displayed outside the building. One piece in particular that I found very beautiful and fascinating was an outside display entitled “Urban Light”.…

    The “Roman Amphitheatre, Valencia, Spain” photographed by Henri Cartier-Bresson is taken from the focal/vantage point of a bull and shows an attendant watching the action from a rectangular window. The inside doors of the Valencia Area and the positioning of this photograph makes it clear that Cartier-Bresson has put much thought into this as he has entered the area to take it. The composition of the “Roman Amphitheatre” is extremely complex and this reflects the photographer’s cubism influences. Every major structural element is fractured in this photograph. Some example of the is that the arena doors are ajar, the number seven which is in two abstract forms, the attendant’s circular glasses are awry with one lens catching the light but the other remaining transparent, and the foreground figure’s body is also link to a faceless counterpart wearing identical clothing which give the effect that he has been beheaded by the door. “The picture as a whole illustrates the avant-garde theory of simultaneous multiple vision and is sophisticated critique of the bull’s-eye school of photographic composition. Cartier-Bresson is an excellent photographer as he tries to convey the message of the how “we can never close the door, align the rings. Reconstruct the numeral, or clear the attendant’s vision” via an image that forces the viewer to accept the ‘disjunctive and mysterious as part of the modern experience of the world”.…
