In this painting “Nighthawks”‚ by Edward Hopper‚ there is 4 people‚ 3 men and a woman. It looks like there is one man alone and a couple. What this painting literally depicts for me is a lonely man and a couple stop by late at night for maybe a cup of tea‚ or some sort or beverage‚ maybe even to clear their minds a little or something troubling has happened. The couple does not seem to be married but more in an affair. The man by himself seems to be troubled and came to clear his mind. The town is

Starry‚ Starry Night “Starry‚ starry night‚ paint your palette blue and grey‚ look out on a summer’s day‚ with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.” (Don MacLean) I chose to write about the painting‚ The Starry Night by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh.

I have chosen the oil painting The Persistence of Memory‚ by the surrealist artist Salvador Dali. This surrealism painting has had a lot of attention due to the odd objects that depicts several principles throughout. When first viewing this painting‚ many question what is going on. Dali had intended for this to be something from a dream as some objects look unreal. One of the most important principles used is line. Starting in the background the horizon line is used where the body of water and

Cormac McCarthy gives his story All the Pretty Horses an unique organization. The book only has four chapters within‚ yet each chapter is lengthy. There are also very few flashbacks in this story. This flashback was needed‚ however‚ to show how things did not change after John Grady Cole’s grandfather died. “On the wall opposite above the sideboard was an oilpainting of horses. . . . his grandfather looked up from his plate at the painting‚” shows the painting being there while his grandfather

This poem was created from Anne’s inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh’s famous painting Starry Night. It begins with a quote from a letter written by Van Gogh‚ which says that he has a deep need for religion‚ and that it is when he feels this need that he goes out and paints the stars. This is very profound because it is about man’s need for something everlasting and holy. Even though Van Gogh didn’t want religion in his life‚ he still had a need for the holy. By creating the painting of the stars

Hopper chose to paint a scene located at a sharply-angled street-corner‚ rather than at one of New York’s many right-angled intersections. This choice was not unusual for Hopper‚ who painted a number of other scenes of this kind of corner (see Office at Night (1940)). A sharp corner gave him the opportunity to display his subjects from a nearly frontal point of view‚ and also allowed him to display the dimly visible street scene behind the patrons. Hopper often painted scenes in which a part of the

Why is there a tree in the middle of bedroom? When working with the work of Gregory Crewdson‚ an American photographer who often depicts homes and neighborhoods‚ the world may never know for sure. Rick Moody makes a valid point in the essay preceding Crewdson’s Twilight photo essay: “And that’s why the twilight photographs we have before us both seem to be easy to interpret and very difficult at the same time. If you could figure a photograph out in three minutes and forty-five seconds‚ you wouldn’t
