Throughout the being this class I have learned about many artists, their specific genres, and how they contributed to the art society as a whole. Some of the major artists that have made a space in my mind, that I had no knowledge of knowing before are Marcel Duchamp, Jason Pollack, Marina Abramović, and Julian Beveer. These artist are mentioned in the textbook relating them to the type of artwork they do. Nevertheless, I have pick chapters 4.5 Art and Illusion and 4.7 Art and War. Just with the title Art and Illusion made me excited to want to read and learn about the chapter. The combination of Art and Illusion I think do hand in hand perfectly.

The chapter focused on the terms and artwork made to fool the eyes of the people looking at them. One of the words used in the chapter is French word Trompe l’ oeil that means “fool the eye” taking two-dimensional artwork look three dimensional. Many Renaissance artworks have an Illusion trick to them like the ceiling painting by Andrea Mantegna called “Detail of central oculus” witch is a fresco.

As well as the rails around the picture, and the little chubby babies hanging around the top of the rails are part the illusion created in the painting. Another painting in the chapter that completely spoke out as it to be an illusion was the painting called The Bar at the Folies-Bergere made my Edmond Manet.

Pictures of historical events are sources of information and proof of what happened in the past. Because of those pictures they help explain the reasons for what is happening in the present.

The Night Attack on the Sanjo Palace is a great demonstration of Art and War. The scroll is bird eye’s view of the raid of the night the Minamoto and Fujiwara clan captured Emperor Nijo Japan’s emperor at the time. The huge fire and black showed the great destruction and horror the clan did to the palace and the people of that small town. Looking closer at the scroll, the viewer can see one warrior holding the emperor down, and another cutting of his
