The painting I chose to analyze is Nighthawks by Edward Hopper. The mood in this painting is loneliness‚ because of the setting‚ the main focus in the painting is the young man‚ and the colors. The setting takes place at night in a coffee shop‚ there is three characters in the painting: the employee‚ two young men‚ a young woman‚ and all the rest of the seats are empty. The focus point in this painting is the young man wearing the blue suit next to a woman‚ who seems to be her girlfriend. Then on

our time. To my mind‚ hobbies‚ on the contrary‚ represent a connection of times and remain permanent. In this essay I will try to prove this point of view. To begin with‚ sports were people’s most popular interests at all times. There is no fashion that can make a person go out on a court and suffer pain just to feel real satisfaction afterwards. Kinds of sports do change in time‚ but people’s addiction to sport remains unchanged. Secondly‚ reading that seems to be an eternal hobby‚ never goes

Balance Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects‚ colors‚ textures‚ and space on the canvas. This painting has such an asymmetrical balance that we could consider it symmetrical. This is because‚ from the initial idea that the painting is separated in two by the ferry’s pole‚ one side is the city’s landscape‚ the other is the people’s lives. There are so many factors/elements here that really separate the two sides for example‚ the colors (which have been mentioned) that are complete

Dying Lord This semester I focused my research on Andrea Mantegna’s painting The Man of Sorrows with the Two Angels and his ability in portraying the meditative importance of the slain Christ. (Next Slide) The history of painting the Lord‚ slain from crucifixion had been a very popular and well exercised practice for many centuries.

After taking a long look at the painting‚ I noticed that unlike in war‚ many of the people didn’t look upset‚ or mad at the other. On the side of the American flag‚ many looked excited or shocked‚ while on the side of

Morisot painted what she experienced on a daily basis. Her paintings reflect the 19th-century cultural restrictions of her class and gender. She avoided urban and street scenes as well as the nude figure and‚ like her fellow female Impressionist Mary Cassatt‚ focused on domestic life and portraits in which she could use family and personal friends as models.
