Burchfield Penney Art Analysis

Improved Essays
The Burchfield Penney Art Center has a variety of art pieces on display. Each art piece is creative, and unique qualities that are rare to find in the other pieces of art. One piece of art that stood out to me was “The Entry Of Christ Into Manhattan”, which was created by Edith Lunt Small in 1982. This painting has a lot of bright colors, and a vast amount of things going on. There are angels,jesus, drag queens, peace signs, etc.Many may think that due to the name of the painting it maybe something that promotes religion, but I personally thinks the painting promotes diversity. It shows a big city with so much going on , which shows chaos. The artist was creative with the colors he chose to use. He used bright colors opposed to using dark

    Production design is one of my favorite parts of film analysis. I love the meaning and symbolism behind even the smallest of detail; all of which help bring the film to life. In The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, Directed by Roy Rowland, you can see the amazing effect of production design through the colors, architecture, and clothing; creating the theme “Do the unthinkable with the unthinkable” The coloring in the movie was very bright and seemingly harsh to our eyes. It gave the world an almost glowing sort of effect.…

    “Where do we even walk in? It must be closed.” “No, it’s open, the entrance is…” My sister and I stared at the ten-foot high, double, wooden doors, there are no signs posted, but we still reached for the handles and pulled open. We strolled into the unknown; into Fountain Street Church. I was expecting the work from ArtPrize to be the main attraction in this one hundred year old building, but was easily distracted by the beauty of the architecture within Fountain Street Church. This masterpiece of a structure is far from just a venue for ArtPrize, Grand Rapid’s beloved art celebration and competition, but it is a place where civilians have gathered for many generations to celebrate faith.…

    Woman I, an abstract oil painting, painted by Willem de Kooning between 1950 and 1952 which is now located in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The painting is a woman who is disfigured and is not what women would normally look like. He emphasizes and distorts different aspects of her body, so it is less about her looks and more about what women represent entirely. Willem de Kooning uses color, emphasis, different proportions, and through the organization, he conveys his interpretation of women and how strong and powerful they are.…
