Mysterious Island, By Istvan Orosz, Ledent Pol And Gustav Klimt
In modern society love has become a much broader topic. The word love has now become part of everyday life. In the process of creating an artwork, there has been problems I have faced. The artists Istvan Orosz, Joseph Le, Ledent Pol and Gustav Klimt have been relevant sources for solving the problem of how to represent multiple interpretations within one artwork though its subject matter and materials, my first artwork was also a problem solver.
Mysterious Island (2010) by Istvan Orosz, (see Image 1) consists of a cylindrical mirror on top of a drawing, so that the flat and distorted graphite drawing is transformed into a three dimensional reflection in the mirror. The drawing done on the paper is distorted and its subject matter looks different

The figure on the right appears beastly and the other figure is a nude female body with the limbs and head cropped off. Due to the positioning of the two bodies and careful use of subject matter, the two figures together, look like the human heart. This is where the influence came in of the different views as you can see the figures and you can see the human heart. This artwork also shows how in the subject matter one can portray a certain emotion in this case a form of aggressive love and beastly love. This influenced the meaning of my artwork as it shows how certain passions and emotions can be the reason a person loves something or someone, or that love can cause a person to act in a certain manner. This artwork also shows how one can see more than one view or image in the artwork, in this case being the human heart and thee two beastly …show more content…
The figures are basic line paintings with very little detail. This gave me the idea that a person could love even the simplest things in life. This artwork also represents a certain emotion, that being antique love, which is a more delicate and rare to find kind of love as that is what I understood by the title Antique Love. This again showed me another way of how society has interpreted love all differently and that there is not only one specific type of love. The two figures clinging onto one another has influenced my artwork in the sense that society is one and that society is all united, this is represented with the two hands being held

    Del Kathryn Barton’s trademark style of contemporary design and illustrative style are used effectively to create a motherly love emotion within the painting. Although there is a two dimensional appearance about each singular figure, stacking them together makes a three dimensional theme throughout the painting and with the use of line and detail in the foreground adds to these dimensions.…

    The painting tells the story of Beauty and the Beast in one image. It reminds me that love comes in all shapes and sizes and that you shouldn’t judge a person by their appearances. Not everyone is who you think they are at first glance. I love…

    This work of art would be a prime example of 20th century sculpture expressionism as well as the one above. This sculpture shows an actual life size woman and man , the love and unity between a man and a woman as they lay there both with their bodies positioned very closes together to bring comfort and togetherness. The woman looks like she is asleep and so does the man and both of their knees are bent, the woman has her knee positioned up and the man has his knee positioned down and the and the mans head is on the woman’s shoulder, they are both comforting one another and their minds to be at ease as long as they are near each other.…

    It was my first time at that museum and I am surely I will be back to do the audio tour. The artwork I chose was Lovers In the Park by Francois Boucher and was made in 1758. I was attracted to this piece because I instantly recognized the Rococo style of painting in which I really enjoy. To have the opportunity to experience and physically see a Rococo painting in person truly brings to life everything we discussed in class such as the gentle brushstrokes and meaningful colors that are involved and used in the Rococo style. I decided to challenge my skills and try to interpret the meaning of the painting on my own. From my first few glimpses of the painting, I noticed how the couple on the right had wealthy looking attire so I’m assuming they are aristocrats. To the left, there is another woman walking by and it seems as if the man is smirking at her in almost a flirtatious way while his girlfriend is unaware and stares into space. I also noticed that there are two baby statues above them that seem to aware of what was going on as they looked down at the couple. to me, the baby statues were a symbol of innocence and the dog next to the couple was a symbol of loyalty. The expressions on the figures faces were soft and pleasant. The image confirmed to express that at that time men were wealthy and powerful, and were able to get away with having more than one spouse, although you can tell the girlfriend in the painting seems somewhat uneasy with the situation. It turns out that the painting is Boucher's way of remarking on the endless game of love. "It invites the viewer to dream awhile" it continued to say and it successfully did that for…

    “Keep love in your hearts. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.”-Oscar Wilde Wilde hints at, that without love, your heart is like dead flowers in a sunless garden. Whereas, if there is love in your heart, your garden is full of blooming flowers. Love is a strong connection between people or objects that means a lot to them. In “Death and Transfiguration of a Teacher” Solari expresses the love between money and poetry. However, “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” portrays love between two unique people. In the stories “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” and “Death and Transfiguration” both Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Maria Teresa Solari embody love as a metaphor throughout the story.…

    Armin Greder’s The Island is a picture book that explores the negative concepts of ‘belonging’ through instances of alienation and judgement. The text presents symbols and metaphors that can be applied to universal social issues, particularly the migrant experience. Although the tone of the text is ultimately pessimistic, there are suggestions of Christian ideals such as sharing, caring for the less fortunate and having a clear conscious. The text also not only discusses an outsider’s perspective of not belonging, but also the negative aspects of belonging to a group or community.…

    When we think of love the first thing that comes to mind is a person. A person whom we care and have strong and constant affection towards. In the 21st century we see true “love” fading away. Unfortunately, we live in an era where traditional values of love and honor are being replaced with our own dreams so much that divorce is now a common word. Peter Meinke’s use of symbols in “The Cranes” gives the impression of being a simple love story of an old couple birdwatching while reminiscing on their life together, but in reality reveals the darker components of love.…

    The difference between two street art what I took from Macau street. The first one, you can see it has three different themes: men with a strange smile, love is everything and an elephant is wondering about if bananas it favorite or not? However, I want to stress on the men with the strange smile. Because it just use the same patterns and have different size and angles to cram the wall. The patterns are very abstract, actually I can't really recognize what is it. But it gave me a feeling like there are many bald men smile viciously. Oddly, if I walked forward to the wall, then I only can see the figure with no meaning. Therefore, I think you need to use your imagination to create a story for this art. The most incredible thing is this art only…

    Art has been created by all people at all times; it lives because it is liked and enjoyed. Art involves personal experiences of an individual accompanied by some intensity of emotion. Art is made of man, no matter how close it is to nature. Although each work of art is evidently the expression of an artists’ personal thoughts and feelings it may be inferred that, like any other individual, he belongs to a million, and he cannot free himself from the influence of his social, economic, political, cultural, geographic, scientific, and technological environment.…
