Vincent Van Gogh's Loss Of Art In The Third World War
The war, which have already been the third world war, is finally over. What was left behind is our fallen world, nothing but ruined cities, crops burned to ashes, and pain in the living. In an old museum, there are two people wandering around to find a place to pass the night, that is me and a 5-year-old girl. After the war, as a consequence of deadly weapon and bomb, weather becomes extremely severe, which causes the temperature falls sharply when the night comes. I can still bear this cold but unfortunately, she is just a little girl, she cannot take it, I’m afraid she won’t be able to last through this night if there is no heat for her to warm up. I have a box of matches, so all I need to do right now is to find something to burn and there are many paintings around me. …show more content…
If I burn these drawing, it would be a huge loss of art history. If I’m not, the girl will die. But the decision is still there to be made, I burn them without any hesitant. If the world blame me for this, so all I could say to defend myself is that even when the paintings are priceless, I always believe saving people is the highest priority. Further explanation is that our world is in the postwar period, human resources would be needed more than ever before, and the children would be the future of human kind. To save this girl is just like saving one more hope for the world, which make this girl live matter than any drawings in this museum, and this make my decision more rightful in every

    On August 1st 1914, Germany declared war on Russia, and on the 3rd, declared war on France. Starting at the top of the previous page the first piece of artwork I chose to review is Max Beckmann's piece Der Kriegsausbruch (Declaration of War), created in 1914 as the declarations of war had just been announced. This is a drawing depicting the reaction of passers-by in Berlin to the news of war being declared. I chose this piece specifically because of the "sketchy" style of drawing. I find that the looseness of his lines give the piece a feeling of anxiousness or even stress that I imagine many of the citizens depicted in the piece were feeling at the time.…

    This winter is the worst I have ever witnessed. We have set up fires in our huts in an attempt to stay warm and avoid freezing to death, but it has not worked out so well. In fact it might have actually made the situation slightly worse. Since the cabins do not have good ventilation all the smoke from the fire stays inside, making it hard for us to even breathe. (Document C) It is freezing outside. The weather, more often than not, stays below zero! Many soldiers have been losing their limbs due to frostbite. (Document B) I rather be at…

    The museum is public, which means any age could see this art, which I don’t think is a great idea because I bet some kids and even teens were confused and shocked as to why the artist painted Mary like that especially using elephant dung and showing inappropriate part of her body.…

    About a month ago, I made a visit to the San Antonio Museum of Art. The museum offered a huge array of pieces and exhibits. After spending a fun filled two hours combing through the museum’s awesome collections (Btw, I enjoyed the amulets and relics in the glass exhibits tremendously!), there were three pieces which made quite an impression on me. I left thinking how do I choose from the best of three—each having the power to intrigue or move me in some way. I felt a definite connection with each of the pieces. The piece I ended up choosing was on the 4th floor in the European Section. It was a painting by Agustin Esteve entitled Four Children. It is oil on canvas, 97 inches by 23 inches, and was painted in the late 18th century. When I first came by this painting, I tried to avoid reading the label on it, so that I could try and understand the piece before I allowed someone else to inform my perspective. I remember feeling a sense of mysticism to it when I first seen it. The painting depicts four children in a dark woody area. There appears to be a fog behind them. The child in the middle is dressed in all black with a bird in his hand. The piece seemed to evoke fear in me at first ( I am still not sure why!) Perhaps it was the colors and tones which helped to create that unsettling feeling(dramatic effect). Right off, I noticed the lines used were soft and smooth, like Renoir employs in his paintings/portraits. The emphasis was on the children in the center of the picture. My first impression was that the kids were lost somewhere and very afraid, but that idea did not mesh well with me because one the boys seemed to cling to him, while the other stared off into the distance with no emotion in his eyes, and he seemed to be leading the boy away with his eyes. Off to the far right is a young girl dressed in her Sunday best, with a flower and black pendant in her left hand and a ribbon on her chest.…

    “Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring out order in chaos”. This can not happen when the chaos itself is destroying precious works of art. The Rape of Europa, is a documentary during the time of Nazi Germany; describing the atrocities the nazis are committing, from destroying works of art to auctioning to fund their cause. Adolf Hitler, has committed numerous crimes against humanity, but he has also committed a crime that can never be undone. The crime that he is guilty of is, destroying works of art that represents cultures from different areas and time periods. Furthermore, the works of art that were destroyed during this time will never be seen ever again; the Nazis have robbed future generations chance for knowledge of these paintings.…

    For my History Day topic, I chose Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol seemed to be a good topic because I have had an interest for pop art for a long time. Andy Warhol is one of the biggest, most popular icons from the pop art movement. This movement started the 1950s in the United States and Great Britain. Warhol led the pop art movement and was always on the cutting edge of art, music, and popular culture. During the course of his career he produced paintings, films, commercials, print ads and many other works.…

    The act of war has been depicted in art since the beginning of human cultural development. Three famous works spanning the neoclassical, romantic and post-impressionism periods have expressed a wide range of emotion by the artists when visually describing both the honor and horror of war. “The Oath of the Horatii” by Jacques-Louis David, “The Third of May 1808, the Execution of the Defenders of Madrid” by Francisco Goya, and “Guernica” by Pablo Picasso are three unique works that consist of a wide array of artistic elements to show what their creators thought about war.…

    Pretty much as Vincent Van Gogh, I likewise thought amid his period that present-day life, with its steady social change and concentrate on advancement and achievement, estranged individuals from each other and from themselves. As we all know individuals experiencing an unbalance mental condition as Van Gogh did were not in contact with the truth. I think Van Gogh unbalance condition was overpowering while he searched for a puzzling impact to his depiction. Concerning myself, it is difficult to center when I drink alcohol so contrasting it with Van Gogh mental condition must had likewise been troublesome for him to center which is the reason he paint expressionism conceptual.
