The Apparition By Moreau Analysis
The image #3.10, The Apparition, by Gustave Moreau is different than Impressionism and Post Impressionism because in this piece there's great quality in the woman, Salome, a princess who appears to be dancing among the head of St John the Baptist. The bloody head seems to be the main focus in the image with it’s appearance radiating throughout the entire composition. Impressionism usual doesn't focus much on detail or order, but rather than expressing the subject through a matter of techniques exposing an natural appearance becoming an abstraction. Compared to The Apparition, it definitely doesn’t show any sort of abnormal qualities, instead it has precise features showing the details on woman’s clothing and the blood dripping from the baptist's

    John Singer Sargent's Portrait, Madame X

    The painting still receives much attention and is the base of discussion for many art lovers and historians (Mohan and Centeno, 2005). However, the very details that made the portrait so shocking nearly a century and a half ago are what now delight critics and casual viewers alike; the piece is truly remarkable in its contrasting hues and dramatic details. The lines are crisp and clean, the lighting is flattering yet dramatic, and the composition is pleasing to the eye. While these fundamental artistic components make a great contribution to the attractiveness of this painting, the subject herself deserves to be recognized as the most beautiful thing about the portrait. Gautreau’s physical beauty is often debated even today, mostly because her roman nose is considered too prominent to be classified as classically beautiful. The difference in opinion regarding Gautreau’s physical features is where most modern controversies end. It is the painting’s daring representation of Gautreau, rather, which is inarguably beautiful. The unorthodox pose, the revealing clothing, and the haughty expression were all revolutionary for the time they were presented. Sargent and Gautreau’s goal was not to challenge the societal norms of the time; in fact, their goal was the exact opposite. Inadvertently, however, the appreciation of Amelie Gautreau’s portrait one hundred and fifty years later is now a wonderful reminder of the power in breaking rules and refusing to fit into the definition of…

    The Grotesque Old Woman Analysis

    While the theories on the artist intent are of plenty, there is no mistaking that this piece provokes deeper contemplation on the depiction of beauty and the power of “ugly” imagery in this painting. One can argue that over vast time periods and amongst culture the defined interpretation of beauty has seen many profound depictions and interpretations displayed in infinite works of “beautiful” art. We must ask ourselves, can only works of “beauty” be aesthetically pleasing to the eye or can we find it in a variety of work through…

    Susan Comforting the Baby," by Mary Cassatt, and Young lady Powdering Herself, by Georges Seurat, is strikingly similar in topic and how it is done. Funny thing to consider is that "Susan Comforting the Baby" was painted in 1881 and "Young lady Powdering Herself" was painted eight years later in 1889, we can even say that Cassatt and Seurat were peers who delivered the same work in the Impressionism period. For the greater part of the likenesses that Cassatt's " and Seurat's paintings, there are big differences as well, which just rise during this paper.…

    Cosi Louis Nowra Analysis

    Cosi by Louis Nowra is a play within a play, Meta Theatre, and is a semi-autobiographical, touching and a biting portrayal of human relationships and mental illness. Prior to the 1970s, people who suffered from ‘mental disorders’ were sent to mental institutes in order to prevent them from bringing shame onto their families and the community. The ‘illnesses’ ranged from true mental instability, such as OCD and schizophrenia, to alcoholics and drug abusers. This is what Nowra’s play is based around.…

    Art Analysis: Saint John the Baptist Preaching by Mattia Preti

    The Metropolitan Museum of art boasts an impressive collection of art, among many other things. One piece that stood out the most was Saint John the Baptist Preaching, by Mattia Preti. Though the work has seemingly faded a bit over the last 360 years, it remains in superb condition, which leads one to believe it has been restored over time. It is this condition that caught my attention, surprisingly as dull as the piece appears; it stills pops when you make eye contact with it. Why does is pop? What about this work has my attention? My first thoughts were the artist’s ability to capture the human form with the amount of detail Mattia Preti had, was the drawing factor that brought me to choosing this as my focal point on my museum trip. The title is Saint John the Baptist Preaching, yet there are no subjects being preached to in the composition. Saint John is making direct eye contact with you as you are staring at him, which gives the sense of actually being in his presence, and listening to him preach. It seems Mattia Preti wanted the viewers to all feel like they were the ones being preached to from the arrangement of this piece of art. Saint John is situated in the middle of the canvas, slouched and leaning to his left in a sort of lazy posture, with his left hand over his heart. This to me says he is speaking of something in which he truly believes, or loves. Situated below him is a white lamb, which is apparent in many religious paintings, the relevance though escapes me. The human form is captured flawlessly, the artist’s ability to capture proper muscle tone and shape is uncanny, only if for a moment it seems this is a photograph taken in the 16th century. No small detail is over looked, looking closer you can actually see veins in the forearm and hand of the…

    Formal Analysis of Artwork at Getty

    The west wing of the J. Paul Getty Museum holds several wonderful 18th and 19th century paintings. Two such paintings are “The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis” by Jacques Louis David, 1818; and “Belisarius” by Francois Gerard, 1797. Both of these paintings are extremely refined oil paintings, and both are representational figurative paintings, each with two figures. In these two paintings David and Gerard were able to portray distinct moods through the use of color, shape, composition and technique. Both painting are representational idealized neo-classical paintings and so compositionally and technically they are very similar paintings. However through an analysis of both it is evident that they achieved distinct moods through both similar and different means.…

    The Shepherd Faustulus Bringing Romulus And Remus To His Wife

    Often, the paintings of Mary and Jesus used mainly red and blue and are used interchangeably with one another. Red symbolized the blood and the martyred heroes, whereas the blue stood for heaven, serenity and calmness. Mary was crowned as the queen of heaven when she died and Jesus brought her up to heaven to stand with him in the kingdom of God. Likewise, Romulus and Remus would’ve done the same and bring their mother to live with them in their kingdom/city. In person, it is more stunning to witness not only due to the size, but also because of the vividness the painting still holds after all these years. It seemed as though it was done almost yesterday due to the freshness the content displayed and in comparison to all the other artworks in the area, this stood out to me due to the colors itself. Mignard’s choice to bring attention to the individuals’ clothing by surrounding it with darker colors in the background created a contrast that was not too harsh to view and the bright colors lures one’s eyes into it. Also, his choice of the lighting created a focus that draws the viewer in so they would not have to look elsewhere to determine what the “thesis” of the artwork is. Lastly, the details of the painting are astonishing to see up close. The brushstrokes of the dog’s hair looked as if you could touch it, the muscles in the shepherd’s legs and arms…

    Art is one aspect of the past that has carried on for decades. Art in any form may it be poetry, novels, and playwright, sculpting as well as painting, has been an outlet for generations and continues to be an outlet and a means for expression. This paper will discuss “ The Mona Lisa” one of Da Vinci’s most famous paintings, as well as another great painting, Antonio Veneziano’s “Virgin and Child”(c. 1380). Both paintings focus on the human form and exhibit many variations of styles from lines, shading, color and possible meanings behind the work.…

    A Complicated Kindness- Perplexing Passages

    In chapter six, Nomi creates a very vivid memory of watching two black Mennonite dresses “flying around like crazy birds way up in the sky”. As she watched them fly all the way to her grandmother’s yard where she was, she remained fascinated, calling that, “even the best thing that ever happened to her.” She then said goodbye to the fallen dress when the spectacular show ended, like a little child who didn’t know the difference between a dress and a person. Shortly after recalling that memory, she asks Travis to stop by her grandma’s place so she can search for the dress.…

    Impressionism In Modern Art

    Impressionism was developed in Paris during the 1860s by artists who rejected the official salons and were consequently shunned by the most powerful art institutions. By turning away from dated ideals, the Impressionists aimed to capture the sensory effects of the scene – the impression objects made in an instant. In the similar way the Impressionists did, my self-portrait demonstrates short, broken strokes that convey forms. In addition, there are few, pure colors used while emphasizing the effects of light. The loose pencil strokes give an effect of spontaneity that contradicts any carefully constructed composition, much like the Impressionists. Furthermore, the two-dimensionality of my form is reminiscent of the flat figures in Impressionist…

    Art Renaissance

    - Impressionists are concerned with capturing a sense of immediacy in their artwork. Their works are assymetrically balanced. The subject matter is often casual and more everyday life pictures and scenes. William Chadwick shows the play of light and shade on the Griswold side porch "On the Piazza". The impressionists unlike other types of artists do not mix their paint colors. They generally use the pure colors to capture their work. Their use of color is also seen in how they depict shadows. Unlike previous artists who used neutral or darker shades like black to paint a shadow, Impressionists used color to show shadows.…
