Art Museum Visit - Essay
Brittany White
Art V01

Actual Museum Visit
Carnegie Art Museum Oxnard,CA-November 12,2010
The Theatre Series, dated 2010
Artist-Trujillo Puamier
The first piece of art that I chose to write about titled “The Theatre”. The median of this art is Chromogenic Print. I chose this particular piece of work because it reminds me of when my family and I go to different cities to watch different plays. We love to go to the different theatre’s. Looking at this painting reminds me of a particular place that we always go to. It also brought back memories to Elementary and Jr. High when my class would put on plays for friends and family. The stage is painted at the beginning of the play it looks like, with the curtain closed and the chairs on the side for what looks like could be where the narrators would sit. The stage is painted in red with the chairs being a variety of colors. Their is also a piano on the right hand side of the stage. Looking at this picture gives me that feeling puts a smile on my face because it’s one of the many activities that me an dmy family do when we want to get out and have a good time together and bond.

Martita-The Los Ninos Series, dated 2007
Artist-Joaquin Trujillo
This second piece of Art work that I chose to write about, titles Martita. The median is Chromogenic Print on Kodak Endura I chose because it reminds me of all my little cousins who love to get all dolled up not just on family occasions but on a daily basis. It actually reminds me of all little girls who love to play dress up and get all fancy in dresses and heels. This piece particulary reminds me of when me and my family have Family Reunion Banquets. Everybody gets formal and that is the time when everybody of all ages can come out in there best dresses to walk down the red carpet and to just have a good time. The artist placed the little girl in a real fancy formal gown with flower print. She is standing on stool posing. Her background looks like she could be at a photo

I wanted to write about a piece that reminded me of my childhood and the town I grew up in. Originally from El Paso Texas, I grew up in a mostly Hispanic culture with deep roots tied to Hispanic heritage. When I came across this piece it reminded of all the special events from my childhood that celebrated the culture and it brought back a lot of good memories for me.…

    The reddish strokes in the space above the hat could represent anxiety or uncertainty, which is what his facially expression seems to present to the viewer as well. The grayish paint strokes represented in the negative space outside van Gogh’s image sharply contrasts with the orange, yellow and reddish colors in the facial area and hat, which adds to the overall boldness and vibrancy of the painting. In addition, the space appears to be illusionistic, as the painter depicts an illusion (van Gogh himself) of the three-dimensional spatial world on a two-dimensional…

    After visiting the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, I will write about four art works. The first one is called Salome Receiving the Head of St. John the Baptist by Andrea Solario. The work is very colorful, and it shows chiaroscuro with the dark background and light on the faces of Salome and John the Baptist. The focal point is on John’s head. This is one of Solario’s most notable works, and the figure style is influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci. The story behind the painting is that Herodias had a quarrel with John the Baptist, and would have killed him herself. Instead, her daughter, Salome, danced for Herod and he was so pleased that he said he would give her anything she asked for. She asked for John the Baptist’s head on a platter at her mother’s urging. I believe I was interested in this work because I already knew about the subject matter, but I don’t think you have to know a lot about the art before entering the museum to be interested in it.…

The Los Angeles Museum of History, Science, and Art was where LACMA first developed in 1910. In 1965 LACMA became its own institution, placing further emphasis solely in art.

There are historically collected art, dating as far back as before and during the time of Christ, in LACMA.

    Leonardo da Vinci. The Last Supper (after restoration).Leonardo’s “Last Supper” is a priceless piece of art with much hidden meaning and obvious talents bestowed upon a wall. Leonardo was able to use his skills in creating a very detailed and a very naturalistic piece of work that would be remembered for hundreds of years. He was also able to create characters with amazing individuality. Not only was his portrayal of the characters magnificent, but the symbolism he used which emphasized the story being told in the “Last Supper”.…

    During our trip the the Metropolitan Museum, our class explored various exhibits, including the Greeks, early Tribal works, Renaissance art, and 19th century art. One piece in particular that stood out to me, and reminded me of a text we’ve read this semester, was Prayer in the Mosque by Jean-Lèon Gèrome in 1871(87.15.130). This oil on canvas depicts the interior of a mosque in seventh century Egypt and reminded me of the readings we had done on Al Andalus from Jarbel Rodriguez, where the description of a mosque in Spain is found.…

    In this essay you will be comparing and contrasting two different types of paintings. The same subject matter but different ideas of the same subject. I will be writing about The Last Supper, which was painted by Giampietrino, after Leonardo da Vinci. He used oil on canvas while painting the piece of art. The year that Giampietrino painted this picture was in 1520. Another work of art that I will be writing about will be The Last supper by Francesco Fontebasso. He painted this picture in 1762 using oil on canvas. As you can see from both types of arts, that they were both painted on oil on canvas and both have the same subject matter which is the last supper that Jesus Christ had. To both of these painting’s in person, you can go to the Royal academy of Arts in London to see the Giampietrino piece and Fontebasso’s piece is found in Museum Fund of the State Hermitage in St Petersburg.…
