Fujiyama From Funatsu Analysis
“Fujiyama From Funatsu” is a woodblock print of Mt. Fuji. Yoshida uses realistic lines and shapes to show the village and it’s natural surroundings. His use of muted blues and browns, and pale reds may be a way to emphasize the mountain. It has soft and smooth textures which is a result of the technique used to paint this piece. “Fujiyama From Funatsu” is asymmetrical and thus pulls attention to the mid-ground, the attention on the village with its homes and workplaces.Yoshida uses straight and angular lines when displaying buildings, but uses curved lines in nature or more natural objects, such as the bush in the foreground. He seems to be concerned with imitating nature as well as replicating the beauty and majesty of Mt. Fuji. “Fujiyama

    In contrast the Ejira In Suruga Province, gives a totally different feeling and perspective. In this landscape the diagonal lines seem to push the inhabitants into motion giving the feeling of being caught in the middle of the storm rather than the aftermath as in The Oxbow. This flurry of motion shifts the focal point from the people rushing for shelter, to the trees swaying in the wind and on to the debris that disappears into the biggest underlying focal point, the outline of a mountain. The mountain is merely two intersecting lines and nothing more, yet it manages to make its presence clearly known as everything else seems to point in that direction. These visual elements bring the work together in a maelstrom of movement and their chaotic differences bring the work together in…

    Mount Analogue is a vivid, bright and wonderfully detailed traditionally set out interpretation of a real landscape. The artwork is set up in 165 small canvas boards placed together to create a massive scaled artwork (279x571cm.) In the foreground we are positioned on the rocky face of a cliff along with five other hikers painted very small staring out into a massive mountain range stretching very far to a clear horizon line and to a small strip of blue sky. The oil stick and polymer paint used is able to make the white’s brown’s and oranges of the slightly snow covered mountains stand out quite brightly against the dark rocks in the foreground. Shapes, textures and lines of the mountains in this artwork are very realistic through the use of small brushes with detailed and precise strokes, and though Robinson uses the same methods to paint we are given a very different perspective of ‘landscape.’…

    The prime focus of this piece is Mt.Hood, which is centered in the middle of the picture plane halfway up the canvas. The mountain in the piece is opaque as there are no t-intersections within it. Behind the mountain various tones of orange, red, purple, and yellow are used to create a stunning sunset. Underneath the mountain, short straight strokes of numerous shades of green, blue, orange, and purple were used to create an image of thousands and thousands of trees. Close to halfway on the canvas, the image of Mt.Hood, the sunset, and the rows of trees is reflected on the water of Trillium Lake. Tehan utilizes the same colors she used in the top half of the canvas to create the reflection on the water. Centered on the bottom of the canvas towards the left side of the piece is a railing painted using various tones of brown, black, purple, yellow, pink, and orange. Tehan's delicate use of her pallet knife allowed her to create straight geometric lines for the railing. It also allowed her to give the railing an illusory texture.…

    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…

    One of the most influential artists of the Modern Period of art was James Whistler. Whistler was an accomplished printer and painter and a brief background of the painter allows us to understand Whistler, and why more than any artist of his time, he would be attracted to Japanese woodblock prints called Ukiyo-e. It is also essential to understand the essence of Ukiyo-e, Japanese aesthetics and its migration to the Western world. Additionally, a chronological selection of Whistler’s works must be analyzed showing how he integrated the lessons he learned from his exposure to Ukiyo-e.…

    Yasumasa Morimura was born on the 11th of June 1951. Today he is a well-known Japanese artist whom appropriates famous images by incorporating himself into the images. He does so with the firm believe that “all people have a common desire for transformation”. Morimura’ artworks involve maintaining the original image of another place and/or person but replacing the face of a subject with his own. By doing so he is subtly demonstrating to the audience how everything is not as it seems as they begin to see his image within the artwork. Morimura is enchanted by the concept of seeing and creating an illusion between the eastern and western world. He aims for capturing the original image perfectly and placing it within his modern world. He invades the artworks like the western worlds popular culture icons had invaded his life.…

This painting differs however with the use of light, colors, use of line and theme. This painting is of a water tower in the middle of a field, with farms surrounding it and mountains in the background, giving it a variety of landscape.
