    In this essay I will discuss the ways that Vincent Van Gogh’s, The Night Cafe, 1888 was used as influence for Ernest Ludwig Kirchner’s, Street, Dresden, 1908. To prove my point I will provide visual analyzations of the pieces, some background to the artists and the art movements they were associated with, and events that happened around the time the paintings were created that affected many artists and the work they created. Vincent Van Gogh’s painting, Night Cafe, depicts a scene a cafe with four empty tables as well as three with people seated at them. There is a green pool table at the center of the room that casts a large orange shadow onto the yellow floor. There is a man with neon green hair in a yellow suit standing to the right of…

    In Fritzsche he carefully, but strategically places four paragraphs of different crowds from rallies, parades and riots in Germany. These pictures take place in the years: 1914, 1918, and 1933. Each of the pictures serve a purpose by showing the reading of how different Germany has changed throughout the years of hard times and triumphs. As we see in the first picture of a bustling crowd in front of Schloss waiting for the Kaiser to speak to them in July of 1914. The second picture also shows the growing distress within the German society while heightened during the time of the “November Revolution”.…

    Being a dramaturgical theorist studying gym behavior would give one many interesting subjects and possible things to study. By simply looking at the stereotypes associated with gym culture, you could see them as one huge performance. The best, and most widely known example of this “performance” would be the men from the show Jersey Shore. Ever since Jersey Shore had been popularized I personally, have seen a rise in “gym going.” Going to the gym to these men gives them a sense of prestige and dignity, otherwise known as Face.…

    Abstract Art Case Study

    1 – In his study of abstract art, David Halle sought to answer multiple questions about abstract art, specifically the ownership and opinions pertaining to it. First, Halle looked at who had abstract art in their homes; determining if the ownership of abstract art indicated social class, he then moved on to more subjective questions such as opinions of abstract art. Halle asked questions about who disliked and liked abstract art for a few different reasons; to learn the specific thinking behind these preferences and to learn if these preferences were linked to knowledge or perceptions within different social classes. In addition, Halle sought to refute Pierre Bourdieu’s claim that only people with cultural capital like or understand abstract…

    German- speaking countries also developed great art about Modernisms, linking in a more subjective way the Modern to the German society`s concerns. The book mentions “expressionism and futurism are both evidently forms of response to the circumstances of urban modernity: negative and positive undoubtedly” ( Harrison, p.129, 1992) I think the previous statement is utterly true because I consider both movements correspond to a particular way of perceiving the modernization. As I said before, there were people who saw the modernity as something wrong and dehumanizing and in the other hand there were people who exalted the machines and dynamism as part of the positive change and modernism.…

    Choosing a movie to watch was difficult, many of the films on the list sounded intriguing, but I finally settled on The Rape of Europa. I never knew art was such an important part of the Second World War, and I was interested in learning the role art played in World War II. The Rape of Europa explores the systematic purging of art different art that was deemed unworthy or degenerate by the Hitler and the German officials, and also the looting of art the Germans deemed worthy from the countries they occupied. It also shows Hitler’s love and even obsession for art and his persistence of the German officials to participate in art appreciation and collection. Another plot point discussed as Hitler’s to transform his “home town” of Linz, Austria into a metropolis of art and culture similar to Rome.…

    Why the U.S. different from other countries in the world? John L. O’Sullivan, a columnist and editor who devoted himself into publishing political reviews on public magazines, always emphasized the function of “Manifest destiny” theory in territorial expansion. As a foundation of “Manifest destiny” theory, “The Great Nation of Futurity” was published on The United States Democratic Review by O’Sullivan in 1839. In this essay, O’Sullivan claimed the importance of the “Republican Democracy”, being different from any other country, which he considered a greatness that could unit all states in America and create a new future as well as a unique history. “The Great Nation of Futurity” built a base for the development of “Manifest destiny” theory…

    World War II and the reign of the Nazi Party greatly affected the whole world and shaped it into what it is today. It not only affected the economics and political aspects of countries but also the artistic side as well. It allowed for the modern art movement in Europe to travel across the sea to other countries, allowing its ideals to spread. With what happened to art during the reign of Hitler it can be said that it both changed how art was seen and also showed that no powerful force could ever rid the world of art in all aspects. If it wasn’t for the Nazi party, then art wouldn’t be seen as it is today and it would be available as it is across the Europe and the United States.…

    Klimt The Kiss Analysis

    The first piece that I’m going to discuss is “The kiss” by Klimt. I’m so moved by this painting not for the depiction itself but for the technique and time that he used. This is perhaps Klimt's most popular and notorious artwork of sexual love. The kiss is a very dynamic and distinctive piece in that you can clearly tell that the man and woman are in some form of love (or maybe they are just friends). The man that alone makes the piece is holding the woman so closely and lovingly.…

    The abstract expressionism movement emerge right after the World War II and it all began in the United States. There was finally a movement that would put the country on the spotlight of the world of art; Harold Rosenberg believed Americans had discovered something new, techniques that were not used in European art. He attempted to define this new art and to let everyone know that this movement was a developed version of art from americans. Correspondingly, Action painters like Jackson Pollock found their own americanized style and their own definition of abstract art.…

    Note also, how Bell has turned the interior scene of the women into an experiment in abstract form and shape. This interest in abstraction clearly derived from her exposure to artists such as Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso after her visit to the first Post-Impressionist exhibition, Manet and the Post-Impressionists in 1910. Curated by Roger Fry at London’s Grafton Galleries, the exhibition, which ran from November 8th, 1910 until January 15th, 1911, had a tremendous impact on the young artist. It was here that Bell embarked upon a period of abstraction, incorporating and expanding lessons of cubism and fauvism, which embraced the…
