    The art pieces I choose to analyze are two paired Star Tiles with Vegetal Motifs and Inscriptions. The evolution of the purpose of an artifact reveals the development of complexity within Islamic empires as time progresses. The first Islamic dynasties controlled large unified Islamic states and religious pieces served as the main type of art within their empires. The goal of the gallery layout is to display to an uninformed viewer the evolution of Islamic art over the course of a millennium, and to reveal the four unifying characteristics that emerged, figural representation, geometric patterns, vegetal patterns, and calligraphy (The Met). The first artifacts are the oldest and are only decorated with calligraphy. The pieces eventually progress to geometric and vegetal patterns. The last element to appear is figural representations, because they are the most complicated. The tiles contain three of these main characteristics; calligraphy, vegetal patterns, and geometric patterns.…

    Neshat’s most famous work of art was Women of Allah (1993-1997), which is a series of photographs depicting women in veils carrying guns with their skin covered in Islamic poetry. These images emulated her sense of how the revolution had changed, especially affecting the lives of women seeking freedom, rebelling in martyrdom and militancy, and also how it had changed the Iran that she once knew. Neshat began experimenting with film and video installations in 1998, when she met Iranian…

    From an artistic point of view Expressionism is the opposition of impressionism (which is merely displaying concrete meaning) by creating ambiguity and diversity through the techniques of abstraction. (Eisner, 1973: 10) Abstraction is a form of art expressing abstract thoughts of artists, thoughts that are more concerned with ideas and multifaceted concepts rather than objects with concrete meaning. (Eisner, 1973:13) Expressionism does however contain contradictions since certain artists believe in ‘intensive Expressionism’ which conforms to absolute individuality since the artist expresses a self obsessed world. On the other hand, certain expressionist artists…

    The reoccurring feeling of paralysis and being stranded in a daunting dismal maze is how I chose to express moments in my life. Expressionism is the presentation of events with a unique emotional distortion that stirs the audience’s mood. This can take shape in the form of art, music, architecture, theatre, and literature. Naturally, those living in my generation are very fond of controversial issues in society being displayed in an emotionally grueling scene. This was not always the case and its origination manifested in early 20th century Germany.…

    Robert Hobbs tells us in his article Early Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism, that over the years the Abstract Expressionists were stumbling through a number of half understood truths about modern art and attempting to find a way to communicate their feelings about the apocalyptic state of the world. The Abstract Expressionism movement is similar in many ways to the 1920’s Surrealism movement. There are similarities and differences between the two styles. Hobbs tells us that although both Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism are concerned with the subconscious or unconscious mind, the former is classical in orientation whereas the latter is romantic.…
