Visual Analysis Of Molinillos By Rivera Rivera
In this work, Rivera is showing the table including food and kitchen items such as: the brown jar, bottles, molinillos, pear and vegetables located on top of the strong light yellow and medium purple table cloths. In the centre of the painting, there is a realistic, brown jar with light blue shadow placed on top of the wooden table. The transparent colour from the body of the jar made it seem like the jar had water inside it. Close to the jar, there is a white lily. Beside the lily, there are two yellowish pears with tiny little dots giving the pears colour. To the left, there are three individuals molinillos that are used to mix ancient Mexican drink chocolate. Next to the molinillos, there is a plate of vegetables which is really hard to

    The nineteenth century saw many stylistic changes in art. From neo-classicism, to romanticism, to realism, and then from impressionism to post-impressionism, artists worked in the style of their time. The Marvelous Sauce, though very realistic in style, can not quite be labeled as a realist work. It is much too late in the century for realism. Also it is not merely the artist depicting life according to what he…

    Barcelo also tries to bring a third dimension to the painting which otherwise would be only two dimensional by varying the depth of the painting by using various layers of paints. The figure and the gold embroidery pops out of the painting due to a thicker volume of applied pigments in those parts of the painting. The light seems to be coming directly above the figure which implies more focus on the subject and the figure staring at the bowl is more distinct. The use of primary colors in this painting is limited only to the globe which has blue color representing the water in earth. The right side of the painting is lit up by the gold covered walls in the painting whereas the left side is darker giving an emotionally jarring emotion. The painting has a lot of texture due to the uneven layers of colors around it. The figure is inside a triangle which shows it is the main subject and the painting is balanced equally with the pile of books on the right and the globe and an open book on the left though the painting is brighter on the right side compared to the left. The time in the painting is difficult to distinguish as it represents everything indoors. The scale and the proportion is true to the real world. There is a repetition of the bright and the darker patterns through the color gold and silver. “Barcelo while returning to Mallorca in 1976, he joined the avant-garde group “Taller Lunatic” and created wooden and glass boxes filled with rotting food in a meditation on decay and metamorphosis. While he would soon turn away from conceptual art, this early interest in the metaphoric potential of the transformation of organic matter persists throughout much of his oeuvre” (Meadows Museum). Barcelo in this painting gives a perfect example of what he has learnt with the pigments with his…

    Also, if you look very closely at the painting, you can see some brush strokes that the painter made. I like that because the viewer can see how thick the paint is and how you move onto the canvas. Lastly, I like how there is light around the top of the painting. I love how the artist used different colors and shades. This art piece goes very well in my family's dining room, in my opinion.…

    The painting is composed of three main elements, namely the featured objects (eggs, pan, pitcher), the wooden shelf on which they are resting, and the dark background which we can assume to be a darkly painted wall. The composition is very traditional for a still life painting, as we have the foreground consuming most of the space within…

    Diego Rivera’s artwork is very unique and is still very popular today. Diego Rivera, who is arguably one of the most important 20th Century Latin American artists, who was only eighteen years old at the time, painted “El Albanil” in 1904. This painting is only one of three or four known paintings to exist from that early period of the artist’s career. It shows his talent for a muralist style and like most well known for representing. The oil on canvas painting is signed by the artist and dated 1904. To me, this painting stood out to me because it was one of the only paintings in the exhibit where it had only one person in the painting.…

    Art allow people to send awareness of problems that have been easily rejected by justice. The second art Museum that I attended this semester was the National Museum of Mexican art.

    Wiley’s piece communicates stability with straight horizontal and vertical lines. For example, in the young African-American man his broad shoulders, attire and unfamiliar posture challenges the viewers. Overall, it communicates a sense of power and authority. Wiley also challenges the traditional law of space. The space is shallow. The overlapping of flowers on the male figure stands out with a light blue background. It gives the male figure an illusion of height and width. Wiley shows ranges of blue tones in his jeans and brown tones in his skin. The painting has both primary and secondary colors; such as, the yellow and orange in his shirt and the red hat he’s holding in his left hand. Also, in the background he uses yellows, blues, greens and reds in the flowers. His painting has many highlights; for example, the highlights in the male figures right hand and arm, chin and neck, right pants leg, the hat and the top of his shoes. In addition, there are also many cast shadows; such as, in the males figures left pants leg, top of the hat, inside his right arm and the whole right side of his face. Wiley manipulates the paint to create visual texture of baggy, more ridged and tapered look in male figures pants. The floral motif exemplifies a feeling of movement all over and a natural pattern that are not exactly alike. When you look at this painting,…

    One of Rivera’s most famous paintings “The Flower Carrier” represented the struggles of a working men living in a capitalist society. 5 Rivera was concerned about the struggles of the peasants in Mexico. Because of this, he intended this piece to move the audience to question the social effects that capitalism has on the working class.

    Centered in the mural are white, pristine, machines that focus and frame the wall. The workers are shown in overalls in muted colors of browns, greens and blues, and Rivera shows black, brown and white workers collectively working together in these industrial efforts. Other parts of the wall show workmen eerily shadowed by industrial light which makes their faces a pastel green against a background of pastel blue lines of machinery and production. All of the Walls show Rivera’s detail to draftsmanship, his placement of the white…

    Some objects in the painting are a pregnant woman, a burning candle, a skull, and a cross lying on the table under some books. The way the woman’s head is rested on her hand and she is staring into the candle light, shows that she is in deep thought. I believe that the woman is reflecting upon her life. She looks to be pregnant, which represents life. The unity of…

    He may have also be influenced by his friendship with Picasso. They both seem comfortable deconstructing their subject matter into simpler forms in much the way that modern science. This reductionism would seem to be in line with them both being Atheists. Although some of the techniques used in the paintings are similar, Rivera’s use of uniquely Mexican objects, serape, sombrero, cartridge belt, and the mountains of Mexico clearly sets his work apart from the European objects found in Picasso's Three Musicians. The use of color is also different which reflects the different cultures; Picasso's darker tones stand in contrast to the vivid reds and luxurious blues which reflect colors that are common in…
