    What first catches the viewer 's eyes are the vivid colors used in the painting. Ultimately what jumps out the most is the man on the right 's red robe. The artist intended this for a reason, discussed later. The room where the men are standing is front lit. Also the atmosphere is not hazy. There is no hint of sffumato. It is very much unlike the Romantic works produced earlier in the century. Rather the edges of the figures and of other objects in the picture plane are clearly defined. The artist "renders every object in the painting with meticulous clarity" (Smith 1). To see this work in person is really quite impressive. The painter has achieved a great sense of depth in the painting, as well as a strikingly realistic quality. The picture taken for this paper from the Albright-Knox 's web page simply does not do this work justice. One 's experience of standing in front of this painting is that of awe. The artist has depicted everything in the scene so realistically, and yet has made it look better than it probably did in real life. Everything in the painting has a rich, glowing quality about it.…

    Famous Impressionist Edouard Manet was significantly influenced by the event of sight and believed that a painting should be an experience of light and color, not just the reproduction of a scene. (Janaro & C, 2009) The image below is of Claude Monet’s “Sunrise” from the Impressionist period.…

    Fauvism started as a loosely associated group of artists who used explosive colors to portray emotion. They were not constrained by the Realists color palette and used this new found freedom to explore and experiment with other styles, helping to cut a path to 20th Century Modernism. Fauvism respected expression on a individual basis. An artists’ emotional response to all things natural, or intuition were far more important than classical training or lofty subjects.…

    For my Formal Analysis I decided to choose the painting that Fridah Kahlo did in 1946 entitled “The Little Deer”. When examining this piece of work I see the deer jumping and running through the forest in action. The deer has a female human style face which is somewhat interesting because Kahlo uses the same type face when doing self-portraits of herself. When viewing this piece I see the arrows striking the deer and blood running out and the dull face that the deer/human has which at first sends a tone as sorrow or pain or some kind of struggle. In the back ground we see the ocean with what seems to be daytime but also a lightning storm going on which gives me a little different look…

    The café scene by Salvador Dali was painted in the mid 1900’s and it depicts two people sitting down for a drink is the primary image but there is a secondary image of a skull that is created by the first image of the people.

    Have you ever had a painting that really spoke to you? When I visited the David Owsley Art Museum there was one painting in particular that stuck out to me, it was: Right Bird Left by Lee Krasner. Tis painting made me feel happy and gave me a lot of energy during the time I was at the museum. It caught the attention of my eye by using several different visual elements to depict an abstract representation art piece. Along with that it used principle of designs to help the visual elements play out and work in the painting so that things can be depicted to the human eye correctly. This piece might have looked like bird feathers but it used many different techniques to give me a bigger underlying meaning behind a such complex painting. This piece…

    It is important, before looking at the painting, to first understand the purpose and direction modern art usually has. “The entire gamut of modern art can be viewed from the vantage point of the artist’s attitude towards the object, an examination which should throw some light on the larger problem of how the modern artist chooses to interweave art and reality and, ultimately, of what constitutes reality for him (Johnson 11).” A major part of interpreting modern art lies within determining that reality. Viewers search for their own meaning in the painting since the simplicity of most modern works leaves much room for imagination. When the modernism phase of artwork began it was not exactly obvious to the public, but over time there “came about a general awareness that there was such thing as a modern sensibility, and that that sensibility had the key to modern life (Russell 126)”. It was thought that if one was modern they had to easily be able to notice changes of life and be accommodating of “the unconscious and the irrational” side of humans (Russell 126). These aspects will later influence the works of Walt Kuhn in his various oil…

    “When the artist is alive in any person... he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and he opens ways for better understanding and seeing.” Robert Henri, an American painter and teacher, expresses this statement in his book, ‘The Art Spirit’ (1939). He provides us with a subjective context that requires thoughtful reflection. In his statement, the person does not have to be a painter or sculptor to be an artist; they look beyond this simplicity and embrace the creature inside by becoming inventive, searching, daring and self-expressing in the way they use media. Viewers are lured towards their works and their attention is captured. Gordon Bennett, an Australian Aboriginal artist, demonstrates this theory through his work. Possession Island (Appendix 1), 1991 and Notes to Basquiat (Jackson Pollock and his Other) (Appendix 2), 2001, will be discussed in relation to Henri’s statement.…

He brought the new ideas and turned people’s attention towards abstract art that were known by most of the representational art which means the art which were realistic and recognizable.…

    Pablo Picasso’s, Guernica is an excellent example of giving us insight into the past. The painting was created in response to the bombing of Guernica, a village in northern Spain, by Nazi Germany at the request of the Spanish Nationalist. The painting conveys the bombing by showing us the suffering the town went through when they were bombed by their own leader. Throughout the painting, Picasso used a contrast of black and white and with the absence of color it makes the violent scene all that more horrifying. This forces you to focus…
