Analysis Of Puppy By Jeff Koons

Improved Essays
To begin with, my view of art has changed, for I now know that it may not only be a painting or sculpture, but also a building design or a cultural artifact. Objects such as masks, pieces of clothing, and blueprints allow the audience to admire and realize that art has many forms and shapes which represent their heritage and importance in their time. For instance, the outstanding way that Jeff Koons demonstrates the importance of art and its surroundings with his artwork Puppy, located in Spain. With this towering image, this piece allows the viewer to appreciate its architecture and assemblage, adorned with real and natural flowers to enhance its beauty. Moreover, my point of view has not remained all the same since I have learned to distinguish

    JAY DEFEO: THE ROSE Jay DeFeo’s The Rose is remarkable. Its dimensions of 10.7’ x 7.7’ x 11” and its weight of 1,850 pounds are unbelievable. The time--eight years--spent on creating this work is extraordinary. In my opinion, this alone merits The Rose’s inclusion in this and all other art history classes.…

    Everyday we pass by a work of art and don't even acknowledge its existence. Art is everywhere we go, for example, a statue in a park is a work of art, it’s not only there for decorations. It has a purpose for being at that particular location, with hope that someone may notice it. Having the opportunity to learn about previous artworks, one of them really stood out to me from ancient Egypt. When an individual hears Egyptian art they mostly think about mummies, pyramids, or Pharaohs.…

    Digital illustrator, Lauren Elise Reeves, is one of the three artist responsible for the many impressive masterpieces, exhibited in the Art Gallery of the Visual and Performing Arts Center on the Westside campus of Western Connecticut State University. Ms. Reeves has cleverly managed to use her skill to captivate her audience and lure them into deep thought through her various works of art. Although many of her other pieces are fascinating, the piece titled "Red Dog" is exceptional. Unlike her other works, the "Red Dog" was painted with acrylic. As I began to soak in the acrylic painting, many thoughts and emotions evoked in my mind.…

    In Norcross's essay ‘Puppies, pigs, and people: eating meat and marginal cases’ he claims that we should not eat farm factory meat since it is not worth our own gustatory pleasure. In this essay I will argue that Norcross's is correct in stating that we are morally obligated to give up eating farm factory meat, and the idea of the causal impotence objection does not succeed. Norcross introduces his idea with the story of Fred. Fred is a man who has been put on trial for animal abuse of twenty-six puppies. The police found in his basement animal cages that gave the puppies no room to move, and it was where Fred stored them while he brutally murdered them It was a long, drawn out process and the puppies were given no anesthesia and their limbs…

    Throughout history art has been a major aspect of human civilization. Over time art has evolved and shifted from different eras and civilizations. For my report, I chose to visit the Timken Museum, in Balboa Park, where I saw the View of Volterra by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. The scene in Camille Corot’s the View of Volterra depicts a distant view of the town of Volterra. In the scene we see a lush countryside, with a man on a horse who appears to be talking to someone sitting, in the shade of a tree, besides the trail leading up to the town sitting in the background.…

    When someone views a piece of art, they'll likely have some preconceived reservations about it and its content. If any other person comes along and looks upon the art, their interpretations will almost assuredly be different, if only slightly. The world that you perceive yourself living in is one that is exclusive to you. It's a world full of components that you interpret in one way or another and the collective of those interpretations isn't shared completely with anyone else. For this reason, careful and thoughtful consideration of our surrounding world is increasingly important.…

They say knowledge comes from experiences, and the experiences this past year have shed a different light on my world. Our actions are direct effects of the world surrounding us, causing every choice I now make to direct, and redirected by many of the recent things we have learned.

    In her 2006 article “The Trouble with (the Term) Art”, Carolyn Dean argues that the using the word “art” for both past visual expressions (particularly nonwestern) does not quite capture the true definition of what these pieces are. This argument is valid, to consider these works as mere entertainment erases a culture’s true history and identity. Dean has a very strong argument for the analysis and retirement of the term “art”, however the ideas surrounding the concept of “art” explain the larger issue as a whole. Carolyn Dean argues that pinning the recent idea of “art” on nonwestern works does not inform one about the culture, but rather condenses that culture into easily defined novelties.…

    It is well known that Western culture and the Western world has endeavored to assert itself over other cultures for many centuries. Beginning with the colonization of groups of people deemed lesser by the standards of white Europeans, who often forced their customs or religion on people they had colonized, Western civilizations continue to push their cultural standards on other parts of the world, especially when it pertains to art. In the essay, “The Trouble with the Term Art”, Carolyn Dean raises questions about the overwhelming western standard of art, and how different cultures have different views of aesthetic beauty. The central argument of Dean’s essay is that the normal definition of art has been skewed to only include the values of Western society.…

    Human beings always have had an innate ability to imagine and create that what lies beyond just a primal, basic understanding of the world around them. It is this nature that overflows with ingenuity and vision that begs to be conveyed through something that has existed since the dawn of humanity. Artistic expression is an undeniable epicenter of the human identity. The arts are such a rooted part of the human identity that every society, culture, civilization, and group emulates some form of it, from pottery in Ancient Egypt to Shakespearean plays in 18th Century England. With this in mind, philosophers have attempted to answer throughout history the burning questions pertaining to this need and appreciation for the arts, to explain what stimulates…

    Expressive theory of art, while being able to include certain artwork and exclude non-artwork that was problematic for formalism, has difficulties of its own. That is, there seems to be something wrong with arguing that simply because an artist has not felt the emotions expressed in their work their creation is not art. This notion could discount many great creations. For example, suppose there was the most beautiful painting; formally it is perfect, the colours, shape and brush stroke is technically brilliant. Art critics all over the world write about how amazing it is that this artist has captured sadness so exquisitely.…
