Art Analysis: The Dinner Party By Judy Chicago

Decent Essays
1. The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago
1a. There were a few emotions that overwhelmed me while viewing this artwork. One was how powerful women are. I feel it is amazing how this piece of art states how powerful women can be. This piece of art is intense, very powerful and beautiful. It is beautiful because Chicago created artwork of a Dinner Party that celebrate the woman’s vagina. The vagina is one of the most powerful tools a woman possesses. It can bring a man pleasure, and it can give life. That in itself makes the vagina powerful and beautiful.
Another emotion I felt about this work is that women are not only cute, loving and beautiful, they are very smart. They win arguments better. They’re very strategic, and they are great problem

Andres Serrano’s Piss Christ

2a. I feel Serrano’s Piss Christ is a good piece of art. Why I feel that way? I think that Serrano’s painting of the Piss Christ is the truth.
When Serrano stated that mankind is hypocritical when it comes to the Lord, his Son Jesus, and the Word, like we discussed in a previous lecture. I have to say I agree with him. Anytime we defy the Lord and Jesus and the message that they’re trying to teach us in the Bible. It’s like defecating on them both, it least, in my opinion, it is. If we don’t listen to God’s Word or not even trying to and just flat-out defying the Lord and Jesus, it’s disrespect to them.
If we would make the ultimate mistake of going against God, intentional or unintentional, it’s like we might as well be pissing on Christ. When it all boils down, that is exactly what we’re doing.
This painting should make us feel extremely guilty, bring thick tears to our eyes and be a sobering lesson for mankind to get it together with Jesus and the Lord. Like with Chicago’s painting where we need to step it up with the powerful women in our lives, we need to step it up with the Lord as

Now it informs me what I need to do. Step it up with the Lord. I need to attend Church more often, read the Bible more avidly, and follow the Lord’s guidelines on life, bit by bit.
Mankind owes the Lord an enormous apology, whichever Lord we worship, we owe him a huge

    The work that I am analyzing is Bathsheba After the Bath by Jan Steen (1626-1679). I believe the meaning of the painting shows exactly what women had to endure to be presented to a man of high royalty and had no rights in the matter to reject his advances. The gloomy colors in the painting correlates with the emotion that Bathsheba expresses. Examining the painting I found interesting props surrounding Bathsheba and the maidservants. The painting tells the story of how King David sent for Bathsheba.…

    The beautiful gold and attention made so eye catching that I had to write about. It’s a wonderful piece of artwork and it would be perfect to stand inside of a church. I wish we knew who the artist was, so that could get the praise for such a wonderful job. I think this one stands out from many of the different The Virgin Mary sculptures during that time because of it’s color and the paintings at the bottom. I feel like the paintings at the bottom brings and emotional feeling to the piece and also adds to the story.…

    My initial reaction upon looking over Turner’s “Slave Ship” was that it appeared to be a beautiful landscape. The way the sky looks over the ship and the horizon line is really striking and powerful. However, as you start to look down you start to see the reason for the name of “Slave Ship”. Along the bottom of the painting you can see body parts of humans in the water. There are hands and feet, the foot on the bottom right has a shackle still attached to the ankle and there appear to be fish eating at the body.…

    Art is all around us, no matter where we go or what we do, there will always be a form of art that is nearby, and as a result of this, art has become one of the most significant aspects of a person’s daily life. In a sense, art is quite like water. It is something that is physical, but the changes that it can embody or bring forth are just like the formlessness of water. Art has become something more than just a work that should be admired, but rather, it has become a medium of speech for the ones that create it. In Dorothy Allison’s “This is Our World”, multiple anecdotes are used to allow the reader to better understand art.…

    Seven wedge-like shapes can be seen surrounding a portrait of Christ, who is displaying his wounds to the viewer, a ring of light encompasses around Christ and radiates out. Within the corners of the canvas are perfectly circular images depicting the “four last things”, Heaven, Hell, the Last Judgement and finally death. When viewed in its entirety the composition is revealed to be the eye of God; giving the viewer the impression that God is ever-watching. The wedge-like shapes demonstrate within them each sin; some which can be easily identified, the iconography being obvious and tame, another indication that this could potentially be an early work of Bosch, as it is a strong contrast to what has become synonymous with Bosch’s work who is widely credited with being the first surrealist with his depictions of bizarre creatures and strange…

    The Crucified Christ (1503-04) is a classical example of Italian Renaissance art. The piece illustrates, extremely effectively the Italian desire to make everything in which they paint beautiful, not matter how horrific the subject may be. Christ in this depiction, although, dead does not appear to have progressed into rigor mortis of any degree, Christ also appears to look peace in death in the Raphael painting, unlike in the Grunewald where distress is on Christ’s face is blatant. The way in which Christ is bleeding in Raphael’s piece is depicted with a degree of beauty, the bleeding is not messy, any blood coming from Christ, is delicately dripping into chalices held by angels on either side of Christ. This is a complete contrast with that of Grunewald’s depiction of the crucifixion, where blood is freely flowing down both his arms and legs.…

Both her and her baby are butt naked in this painting.…

    The painting I chose was Frank Stella’s “Flin Flon VIII”. It is an acrylic piece on canvas characterized by a mixture of curving and straight lines that interlock, vibrant colors, and an emphasis on the circle in the middle of the canvas. A huge quantity of negative space is present in the painting and the painting emits a smooth texture. The painting is one hundred and eight inches squared, making it one of the largest paintings in the San Diego Art Museum. Its size projects itself on the viewer overwhelming them with its color and size.…
