The painting tells the story of Beauty and the Beast in one image. It reminds me that love comes in all shapes and sizes and that you shouldn’t judge a person by their appearances. Not everyone is who you think they are at first glance. I love…
While the theories on the artist intent are of plenty, there is no mistaking that this piece provokes deeper contemplation on the depiction of beauty and the power of “ugly” imagery in this painting. One can argue that over vast time periods and amongst culture the defined interpretation of beauty has seen many profound depictions and interpretations displayed in infinite works of “beautiful” art. We must ask ourselves, can only works of “beauty” be aesthetically pleasing to the eye or can we find it in a variety of work through…
The bright vivid colors attracted me to this work; I found it interesting how the artist played off of mostly reds and blues and I liked how my attention was immediately drawn to the center of the painting. All of the people seemed to be involved in the miraculous birth of the Jesus. The greatest aesthetic strength of this painting is its use of vivid color, the aesthetic weakness I found was the lack of the artistic use of shadow. I…
The bold curved lines of the sky flow directly into the figure and endure to form the body of the individual. Van Gogh uses long, heavy yet equal brushstrokes to express feelings and motion. Motion is the main element in this painting Vertical lines such as the tree and church tower delicately breaks up the composition without withdrawing from the powerful night sky. Van Gogh's use of white and yellow creates a twisting result and draws attention to the sky. And the usage of color to send emotion. Munch also used colors that were contrast between hot and cold colors, contrast of complimentary. By using artless forms, Munch is able to force his viewers to focus on the emotions that the sight and subject secrete rather than simply viewing an exact picture of one particular scene. The cautious use of balance also helps the viewers understand the indirect consequence of The Scream. Munch placed the unpleasant figure in the focal point and attains a sense of balance by inserting two smaller figures who are walking into the scorching sunset in the distance on the left side and by creating a dominant arch in the upper right hand corner. But the focal point created by Van Gogh is the tree-like structure projecting out on the bottom…
The Sunset Heights composition made me feel special because I kind of know where the painting took place and I also noticed the “La X”, Juarez monument, on it too. In the other hand, there was works of art that I could not relate to and they were harder to understand. For example, Magic Bus was a complex painting and it had more variety than any other work of art in his exhibition. There is a colorful bus in the middle of the painting with people inside including a king and a queen, then outside the bus we had like circus people preforming, and there were musicians on top of the bus. Also the background was strange as well, we had the sun in one corner and the moon in the other side and there was a rainbow in between them, there was fish at the bottom and stars at the top. I took the longest in this painting, even at the end I was still confused and did not understand the purpose of this painting.…
The bright and vivid background color and the woman’s gesture drew me to this particular piece of art. The brighter color gives people a sense of happiness and that’s why I like it. His painting style is different from the original impressionism, so I want to know the…
The artwork most likely symbolize unity of social class or the absolute abandonment of it, because it a mixture of common, rich, and militarize people together on a sunny sunday. Everyone seems to belong in the painting and also even communicating together. The social class was an upset balance to systems in the past even causing revolutions like the French Revolution of 1848 where peasants created an uprising to kill all filthy rich family including children. The artwork was creating in the same 19th century supporting the fact that it may be a social class problem. The beauty of peace between class and nature is significance of unity together and not against. Nevertheless it an act of society well-balanced without class interfering with joy or…
As I walked around with a copy of this piece in my school bag for a week or so, I often thought about what I could possibly say about this painting/artist. Also during this time, I shared this painting with a couple of people, and asked them what they thought of the piece without telling them what it depicted. One individual stated, “They look sad about something.” Another individual stated, “The people appeared shame for some reason.” Then I informed them what the piece was and they wanted to look at it again, they were quite impressed with the work after they realized what it was about.…
When observing this painting, your eye does not first go to background, but in the far left background appears a ship with what I assume are either traders or explorers. They could be Portuguese or other European traders, perhaps even merchants from Southeast Asia or India. If the painter had painted sails on the ship, we would have a better clue as to where the ship came from; however, based on the prominent stern on the back of the boat, I will assume that it is a Chinese boat coming into port. The most successful and well-known Chinese explorer was Zheng He. Although he died before this screen was completed, his explorations helped shape the Tributary System in China: "Despite their commercial overtones, Zheng He's voyages were mere extensions of the Ming Empire's Tributary System, a system not based on profit." 4 This…
As in Noah’s Ark, there is the evidence of acknowledgment of Egyptian wall paintings which ties into African heritage. The most prominent part of the painting is the story being told through the figures in the foreground. Starting on the left, the story begins with the slave worker in the fields picking cotton. As the story transitions to the right, the figures are no longer hunching over, but are standing tall and willing to fight for their freedom. In the background are the silhouettes of the armies that fought for and against the abolishment of slavery. The center figure, through the use of Art Deco inspired geometric shapes becomes the focal point, is pointing towards the north to lead the southerners to their economic freedom. Lastly, on the right side of the painting, emphasizes the cultural rebirth black Americans found in the…
Hip hop as a whole started emerging as a powerful force in the late 80s, and by 1990, there were many artists that had either already laid the foundation or were looming on the horizon. Among the artists that have already made an impact were 'Public Enemy', 'Boogie Down Productions', 'Run-DMC', and 'LL Cool J'. Artists such as 'A Tribe Called Quest', 'De La Soul', and 'Gangstarr' were establishing their positions in the game to complement the group of existing pioneers.…

The painting fame of showing all the important event from the bible from the beginning to the very end of the world. The painting of the last judgement is unique because of its texture and message by the artist which I guess is if this painting doesn’t get you to repent your sins, than noting will. The analysis of the painting is that the painting has a strong message and the style used on the painting is very queue and…
