    Kehinde Wiley: Art Analysis

    This particular painting makes part of a big collection called "The World Stage: Jamaica". In this collection, he portrays the Jamaican culture through its people. The goal of this project was to draw a connection between classic European painting and Jamaica, which he managed to do turning portraits of that time, in portraits of the people that today live in this island. For example, the painting I chose was inspired by an old painting of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the husband and consort of Queen Victoria. I think that the best way to understand what the artist is trying to convey is by analyzing the painting from two different perspectives.…

    Analysis Of Fred William's Upwey Landscape

    Fred utilises the technique of a high horizon to signify the vastness of the expansive land. It contrasts its size with the sky allowing the land to appear more open and spacious. Through the emphasis of this great land almost invading the whole of the canvas space, William’s use of this technique brings focus to the audience of how desolate and isolated the scenery is.…

    Jasper F. Cropsey 's American Harvesting

    Based on traditional landscape painting methods, Cropsey made clear observation of different landscapes of nature and drew sketches of them. He then combined them to create a larger, composite landscape painting. Here, we can see that he presents a Romantic panoramic landscape view in his canvas and organized spatial recession in this landscape with the use of light and color. The painting can almost be divided into three main parts: a dark foreground, a bright middle ground and a translucent background. In the foreground, he depicts the wilderness in a dark tone. In the center, Cropsey uses a warm golden yellow to brighten the cultivated hay fields of the family farm. Not only it creates a contrast with the dark surrounding wilderness, but it also was a recognizable style of the artist’s time. With that said, we can tell that this painting has a relative clarity, and that Cropsey might intend to make a focus upon the things in the middle. To recede the viewer’s eyes to the background, Cropsey uses a lighter and cooler color to portray the objects, for example, the grayish-blue mountains and translucent clouds. It creates an illusion of three-dimensional space and furthers the distance away from the viewer. The brushwork of the painting is evidently loose, which gives a painterly effect. Therefore, we can say that Cropsey depicts the scenery by…

    Georgia O Keeffe's Lake George Reflection

    The piece titled Painted Circa 1921-22, Georgia O’Keeffe’s Lake George Reflection, the most ambitious in scale of her works from the 1920s, is a meditation on the sublime, building upon the tradition of the 19th century Hudson River School artists who sought to capture the drama and beauty of the unspoiled landscape surrounding Lake George. The painting “Painted circa” look at the angle horizontally, the painting exemplifies the boldly colorful landscapes which foreshadowing the abstracted paintings of the New Mexico hills from her later years. As the vertically, as Lake George Reflection was first exhibited in 1923 at the Anderson Galleries, the infinite horizon shifts to a powerful vertical thrust, with the formerly symmetrical reflections of the landscape…

    Church’s painting serves as an artistic response to war due to the depiction of the American flag on the sky. The ingenious use of the brush strokes to mimic the stripes of the flag is breathtaking. The Artist brings out the stripes of the flag with the thin clouds in the middle of a light blue sky. The painting also shows the stripes waving similar to those of a flag when blown by the wind (Burke 39).…

    Sunday On La Grande Jatte Essay

    Georges Seurat’s painting of “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte -1884'” depicts tranquilize people located on the island of La Grande Jatte. Looking closer into the background there are soldiers and regular looking people in the back with one typical guy with higher class people in the foreground. It like a unanimity between social class to enjoy a sunny day on a island. Looking closely into the painting there are tiny strokes of lines creating leaves on the ground and on the tree, but also everywhere creating texture. The overlapping creates space and every person are very different from each other creating variety.…

    Ecosystem and Living Organisms

    Gray wolves were once free to roam across Northern America, but this was before people hunted, trapped, and poisoned them. The drastic reduction of the Gray wolves in Northern America was a devastating blow to the ecosystem, but their extinction marked a critical loss to the diversity of the ecosystem. Many scientists agreed that reintroducing the Gray wolves was the best solution to restore the diversity of the ecosystem (Raven, 2009). While this recommendation was adopted some decades later, this scientific method helped improve the situation though with some side effects. Nonetheless, enforcing the endangered species act could also help alleviate the situation by reducing hunting or poising of the Gray wolves.…
