Hi Kalyn: Similarities Between An Artist
Hi Kalyn,

I absolutely love this piece. I love the detailed story behind it as well. Although the piece I choose was not very similar I wanted to discuss the similarity between our artist. My artist Lilly Martin Spencer was well known for her paintings of women. She was also daring, not for nude pieces, but the humor of domestic work that she evoked.

    Comparing Little Red Cap And Sharon Singer's Paintings

    In comparing The Grimm Brother’s “Little Red Cap” and Sharon Singer’s paintings of the infamous little red riding hood story, there are numerous similarities to be found. Singer’s painting “Fast Food”, depicts a dark and uncanny scene in which naked doll lies at the foot of bloody wolf paws. The naked doll in Singer’s bleak painting represents the vulnerability of Little Red Cap during her encounters with the wolf. Little Red Cap description as a “dear little girl” who was loved by anyone who “set eyes on her” works into Little Red Cap’s childish aurora connected by Singer’s naked doll (Tatar 13). The Grimm Brothers explain Little Red Cap “had no idea what a wicked beast [the wolf] was” during their first meeting, which characterizes Little Red Cap as a helpless and harmless young girl, with no knowledge of the dangers of society, such as a child (Tatar 14). Therefore, assessing Little Red Cap defenseless and innocent nature, there is a connection portrayed through the unclothed doll that lies at the foot of the wolf. In the painting from Singer, the wolf’s bloody paws are also seen under a red cloth, which can be concluded as two things from the story. One, the red cloth is Little Red Cap’s…

    Comparing The Highway Is A Disco By Euan Macleod And Del Kathryn Barton

    Barton's pictures are so stylised that anyone who sits for a portrait be prepared to be transformed into an iridescent, bug-eyed line drawing embraced by exotic animals, cast adrift on a sea of dots. In other words, don't expect psychological realism. Throughout Barton’s artworks, her ever-present theme is motherhood, which appears in the most surprising incarnations. She treats the business of sex, procreation and nurturing as if it were straight out of a dramatic television show. The everyday occurrences of a woman's life are transmuted into a heroic quest, with mothers and daughters turned into characters from science fiction, like her painting “You are what is most beautiful about me, a self-portrait with Kell and Arella”.…

    Lady With A Parrot

    The pairing that I have chosen for my comparison is A Lady with a Parrot and a Gentleman With a Monkey by Casper Netscher and The anointing of David by Samuel by Benouville. Netscher and Benouville both represents human forms and use animals to draw symbolic parallels, they greatly differ in their depiction of the human form, attention to detail, and use of shadows in a way that greatly exemplifies the ideals of art for their time period.…

    Heriman's Krazy Analysis

    The focal point in this is the boy and man with the banjo. They are emphasized by the use of a warmer color palette than the rest of the room, which is in very cool tones, and by the increased detail in their features, bodies, and the banjo. The darker hues of the man and boy, contrasting with the lighter hues of the background and the banjo also serve to place emphasis in this area. The rest of the room is subordinated, for the same reasons. The less saturated colors, lack of details, and shadowed corners all push our attention away from those areas and toward the scene in the center of the piece.…

    Art Imitates Life: Zebra, I Want to Write, and Letters to a Young Artist

    In life art is not just a form of a hobby, but a passion. Art shows the emotion and inner expression of somebody with their goal as an artist. In the text Letters to a Young Artist by Anna Smith, Smith advises young artists to take everything from the world around them, and develop the eye, the ear, and the heart to create their art. Also, in the story “Zebra,” by Chaim Potok, the main character Adam Martin Zebrin, aka Zebra, encounters an injury and uses art to overcome his depression of the outcome of his injury. Finally, in the poem “I Want to Write,” the poet Margaret Walker describes the feelings, emotions, and the struggles of her people through her poem. Art is most definitely a big part of life, especially in the three texts “Zebra,” “I Want to Write,” and Letters to a Young Artist. From reading these texts, it is shown that art does imitate life.…

    Same Artist, Different Pictures

    The way artists can look at a scene in many different lights is very similar to what Earle Birney did when he wrote "January Morning/Downtown Vancouver" and "Vancouver Lights". An artist can paint a picture of a given setting and then come back and paint a totally different painting of the same subject. The two poems share similarities but where the description of "January Morning/Downtown Vancouver" ends, the theme for "Vancouver Lights" begins. The two poems based on the same setting create entirely different ideas in the readers mind.…

    At the El Paso Museum of Art I saw many beautiful and wonderful paintings and sculptures but the “The Portrait” was the sculpture that caught my attention the most. “The Portrait” was sculpted by Frances Bagley an American artist born on April 7, 1946 in Fayetteville, Tennessee. Frances Bagley lives and works in Dallas, Texas. “The Portrait” was created in 1997 and it is made out of stainless steel and marble. I believe that “The Portrait” is an interesting piece of art because it resembles exactly what the title says. It is a portrait of a the artist or a portrait of woman. The sculpture has shape and contour which is the shape of a woman like in a night gown. The sculpture has mass. It also has texture because in the stainless steel you can see that is shine and smooth and the marble is not finish so you can see that is rough. It has color because even if the marble is rough it has different colors. It has proportion and scale in the part of the body from top to bottom as well it does have the proper scale to simulate a woman sitting down. “The Portrait” has design, unity, and aesthetic because the whole piece is appealing to eye since it resembles the shape of a woman with the different pieces of rough marble place inside of the stainless structure and even if the materials does not have a glamorous touch the sculpture does captivate the viewers attention because of its has beauty. But most important the portrait has content and iconography because the piece is portraying a woman that is always beautiful even in her simplest form and it also resembles the meaning that a woman has in society as a strong person because it gives life to their children and as the foundation of the family. In my opinion The Portray has the meaning of what a woman is. She is hard as stainless steel because she knows that she always have to be there as an inspiration for her family or her children. She…

    I absolutely love this painting! It seems so vibrant and fresh with color. There is not a single thing that turns me away from it. This painting makes me feel surprisingly happy and cheerful. I believe due to the pops of very bright different colors it would make anyone smile. In my opinion it reminds me of a beautiful stained class or a Rubik’s cube. I don 't believe I have seen another piece of artwork that resembles "Lovejoy". I love the fact that every piece of art she creates has a…

    The novel Lolita, written by Vladimir Nabokov, allows the reader to see the world through the eyes of Humbert Humbert, the handsome, nympholept artist, on his journey across America with his Lolita. The reader becomes very familiar with Humbert and his perspective of the world.

    Always Smiling By Russell Noto Analysis

    This one seems to fit in with the other art creations at the Jen library though, because around it the other works of art are almost the same in size, this helps give you an idea at how very large this other piece is. Unlike the first piece, this one has a wood base that is left unpainted or stained. Then close to the bottom left corner it has wood planks with white plaster on them all laid pointing outwards from a circle in the center, it reminds one very much of a giant daisy without a yellow center, unlike the top one you get a happy feeling because of this bright beautiful flower. The planks however are torn at the end, and this beautiful daisy starts to look more battered and worn down, it’s kind of sad. Placed above the hole where the yellow pollen of a flower should lay is three rows of five blocks. All of the blocks are made of foam and painted a bright pink, and they are all lined up in straight rows and are uniform, except for one at the bottom left, that one is slightly tilted. In the end I loved how this looked, and when going deeper into the meaning you can really see why this connects so well with the other darker art…

    Art Gallery Review

    I went to the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas, located on 3275 Industrial road (major cross-street Desert Inn) which opened in August of 2008. At the museum it holds, erotic art, exhibits, different timelines and a lot of illustrated history of erotica. There were many tasteful pieces of artwork, whether it be painting, magazine covers, posters, figures, and sculptures. I was also very excited to have actually seen the piece called “Venus of Willendorf” that is featured in our book on page 164. I took my time looking at all the different pictures to see which I would choose from to write about. Then I observed one, it was untitled, made in 2008 and the artists name is Fang. I did research on the artist and did not find much on her other than the fact that she is called “The ugly artist”. Fangs paintings have a BDSM feel for them and use acrylic on canvas. The particular picture I seen was of two beautiful women, one was dominant and the other a submissive. Both women had contour lines to show their figures off. Most of the colors were very vivid and had high intensity in it. The dominant woman wore a under bust patent leather type of corset with attached panties, and matching knee high stiletto boots. The submissive was totally undressed except for a shiny red o ring posture collar. The dominant woman had spider web tattoos on each shoulder that a spider connected to underneath her neckline. Both women had beautiful long flowing lines of black hair, with blue highlights. Bright red lipstick on both women and dark smoky eye makeup. The dominant woman’s facial expression was of confidence and superiority, while the submissive woman looked upwards as if to gain a sense of approval.…

    Essay on American Artist

    Ernest “Ernie” Eugene Barnes Jr. was considered to be one of the leading artists in the world. He is popularly known for his portrait titled “Sugar Shack” which was featured in the 1970s sitcom, Good Times. His artistic expressions create uniqueness and imaginative experiences in African American culture. His interest in painting was sparked while browsing through art books when he accompanied his mother to work. He began painting while he attended North Carolina College which is now North Carolina Central University. Aside from being a talented artist, he was also an incredible football player. He went on to play for five years in the NFL and decided to quit to pursue painting full-time. Barnes credits his college art instructor, Ed Wilson, for laying the foundation in his development as an artist. Wilson was a sculptor who instructed Barnes to paint from his own life experiences. “He made me conscious of the fact that the artist who is useful to America is one who studies his own life and records it through the medium of art, manners and customs of his own experiences.”( Powell). Most of Earnest’s artwork depicts his view of African American culture and his love for athletics. His paintings also reflect his commitment towards racial and ethnic harmony.…

    Alice Neel's Portrait Of Margaret Evans

    All of history is narrated and illustrated through art. Certain artists stand out as revolutionaries in their mediums and in their time, using art to express their voice to the people. As society develops and evolves it can be easy to identify the creative thinkers that fueled the fires of progress. During the 1960s painter Alice Neel produced a body of work that not only analyzed those around her but also criticized the world she lived in. As a witness to art movements from Abstract Expressionism to Conceptual Art, and refused to follow any of them. Instead, she developed a unique, expressive style of portrait painting that captured the psychology of individuals. Inspired by the concept of male gaze in art, Neel’s work stands as a metaphor for the feminist movement during the period. In her portrait of Margaret Evans, Alice Neel explores a woman’s position in society by the honest almost uncomfortable way she paints the expectant mother of two.…

    Art Comparison

    Bright colors jumping at you asking for attention, images so real viewers can not tell the difference. These are the thoughts that came to my head as I gazed at two works of art by two Mexican artists at MoLAA museum of art . I visited two museums, Bowers Museum of cultural Art in the heart of Southern California and the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach for my report unfortunately I only liked the works in MoLAA and will talk about it through out my paper. I will talk about two Mexican artists Rafael Cauduro and David Alfaro Siqueros that caught my eye, and made me want to learn more of them and their approach to art. Siqueiros caught my eye and interest because according to his biography "no individual associated with the arts with the possible exception of André Malraux, had been involved in direct political action more than David Alfaro Siqueiros" (Siqueiros Biography online). Personally that to me said a lot and that got me intrigued, and made me want to know more about him and his work. Cauduro on the other hand got me intrigued through his illusionistic approach to art and interpretation of his view of things. Eve thought they seem like different approach to art they are both similar in different ways.…
