The title of the artwork is an oil on canvas painting titled Bermuda Lovers. The date and the name of the artist was not given. I came across the painting at the Downtown Fullerton Art Walk where artists set up exhibits to display their work or have individual work shown in cafes. In what I believe is the Hibbleton gallery‚ the painting was hung on a brick wall painted grey with other artworks in close proximity. Its proximity with other attention-grabbing works made it difficult to invest my full

"Content‚ Subject Matter and Artistic Intentions” After reading the lecture I decided to write my thoughts on the art piece “A Bigger Splash” by David Hockney on page 69. No matter what the true meaning of a piece of art is you always having your own personal views and feelings toward. Only the artist really knows his motivation behind his artwork and how he wants the viewer to view it. At first glance of the picture I didn’t really see much‚ to the eye it’s a pretty simple picture. To me it is

Art for Arts’ Sake Dear Friends‚ When I was asked to write to you about my views of the role of the Arts in society‚ I did not hesitate to embrace the task. Over the past three years‚ I have been working on a PhD in Music Education. I have finished all of my coursework‚ and have "only" my dissertation remaining. In this program of study‚ I recall many discussions in our seminar classes that were seeking to answer this very question: What is the role of the Arts in our society? For purposes

Jean Fouquet and James Tissot depict Joshua’s conquest of Jericho in very different ways owing to the facts that they lived in different times‚ and therefore led very different lives. I intend to highlight the ways in which their different experiences influenced their artwork. Using a variety of sources‚ I intend to embark on a comparison contrast of two pieces of artwork: The Taking of Jericho‚ by James Tissot (c. 1896-1902) and Prise de Jéricho by Jean Fouquet (c.1470-75). I will give further details

A very fascinating mural called the "Going to the Olympics" by artist Frank Romero was displayed on a wall in the city of Los Angeles for numerous years. The beauty of his art roused countless other artists and proved to be one of the most beautiful works of art in L.A. Within the mural‚ Romero included significant factors that would show L.A.’s history with the Olympic games. For instance‚ the stamp commemorates the 1932 Olympics that was hosted in the city.

France’s rooster over Austria’s eagle was “…only the beginning of a catalog of allegorical correspondences to persons and recent political events‚ ingeniously conceived but nearly impossible to decipher without the guidance of a detailed inventory.” (Art in the Age of Revolution). Girodet filled the canvas with so many bodies‚ so much color‚ and so much information that without a full understanding of Ossianic literature‚ French history‚ and Classical symbolism it is near impossible to understand the

Existentialism and Human Emotions by Jean Paul Sartre Existentialism and Human Emotions J.-P. Sartre I SHOULD LIKE on this occasion to defend existentialism against some charges which have been brought against it. First‚ it has been charged with inviting people to remain in a kind of desperate quietism because‚ since no solutions are possible‚ we should have to consider action in this world as quite impossible. We should then end up in a philosophy of contemplation; and since contemplation

Art Spiegelman’s comic “Maus” provides a unique way to learn about the Holocaust. Through comics‚ Spiegelman allows each reader to interpret the text in their own way. Spiegelman ventured away from the standard textbook method of describing history with specific details for each subject matter‚ and instead‚ drew his comic in a way that allowed each reader to form their own conclusions on the historical event. Spiegelman used unique elements in his comic to tell the story. Perhaps the most unique

One Art This poem trains to develop the spirit of resignation on the loss of persons‚ places and things however valuable they may be. It arouses casual relationship with the material things failing which people usually get abnormal on the loss of their cherished objects.
