War is often viewed as one of the most dangerous and brutal events ever created. It utterly destroys the humanity and mental state of soldiers fighting in the war. In All Quiet on the Western Front‚ a world renowned war novel by Erich Maria Remarque‚ the epigraph states that this novel “will try simply to tell of a generation of men who‚ even though they may have escaped shells‚ were destroyed by the war.” Staying true to this quote‚ Remarque tells of the horrors of World War I and fittingly describes

intentionally chose to portray the landscape with quick‚ loose brush strokes‚ which allow for far less detail and less use of nuanced colors. Van der Haagen’s painting uses the beauty and vastness of nature to show its power when compared to man; Bellows shows man’s defiance of nature’s power through his industrialization. Although both paintings are landscapes‚ the way in which the artists portrayed nature in their works is quite different. The main focal point in A Wooden Landscape is the large tree

Cardinale Land of the Lotus Eaters – Robert S. Duncanson There are several artist and paintings in the Sharon Patton book. To choose one particular landscape painting would be tough. Moreover‚ in choosing this painting and discussing why I think black artists may have used these landscape paintings as a means of expression during the abolitionist movement can be possible to do so.

Clements Family Gallery.” To start‚ the Lewis Axiom that I believe most notably relates to this work of art is Axiom 7: Landscape Location. As stated in our Landscape Packet‚ landscape location involves the important study of cultural landscape within the geographical context of a given area of land. In Van Bredael’s piece‚ there is a clear distinction

The painting “Suprematist Composition: White on White” was painted in 1918 by Kasimir Malevich and is worth several million dollars. It is‚ at first glance‚ a simple painting which depicts a tilted‚ cool white square on a slightly warmer white background. Because of it’s apparent simplicity the painting inspired me to think in a way that I normally wouldn’t. My first thought upon seeing this painting was “what exactly is so interesting about a white square and who would pay to own such a painting

Charles Dickerson. This painting represents a waterfall located in the Adirondack Mountains in New York. Dickerson used oil paint on top of a canvas to illustrate the picture. I chose this piece of artwork out of the Siena College J. Standish Library because of how realistic it looks. The painting illustrates a scene in nature and if I could see this image in real life‚ I would. I also liked how this waterfall came from the mountains in New York‚ where I was born. Overall the painting captures the beauty
