Dancers In A Forest Glen Analysis

Improved Essays
The piece of artwork I choose to write about is “Dancers in a Forest Glen.” The artist that composed the artwork is Arthur B. Davies. Arthur B. Davies was an American artist born on September 26, 1863. When he first started painting he only really painted atmospheric landscapes in the Romantic manner then after 1900 his most famous pieces of artwork were created. His famous work is almost entirely a personal world of imaginary creatures, allegorical nudes, and dream-like landscapes. His artwork “Dancers in a Forest Glen” is an oil painting made on canvas. The artwork is landscape of a forest with a body of water in the middle and clusters of dancers throughout the painting. The work is realistic. Davies used dark, subtle colors throughout

    In this exceedingly powerful painting, “Figures in a Landscape” painted in 1972 by Sidney Goodman, a child, woman, and man are in what looks to be a park because of the sandbox and blue and red swing set. In the background the mountains are bright and happy with houses surrounded by many tall green trees. On the right side of the painting is a huge dark gloomy cloud like when a murder is about to occur in a horror movie. The figures look like something is going on in their mind, maybe they are unhappy with each other or something is really upsetting them. When I see this painting I feel as if the figures are in there own world not aware of their surroundings.…

    In the beginning of this dance piece, I was intrigued by the different tones of colors on the stage and his costume that grasped my attention. During this dance piece, Columbus used strong outward focus, rolling, leaping, turning at a quick pace, and deep breathing phrases. Along with these movements, I was able to grasp onto what I thought the main message was. I believe that the choreographer's intentions were to teach how negative, inconsistent thoughts can control one’s body and the effects of low self-esteem and self-image. One reason I believe this to be the choreographer's intentions was that during Columbus strong outward focus, he tighten his muscles along with his knuckles, and had an angry expression on his face looking towards the…

    This is a canvas painting of a pond. The painting comes off realistic in the actual water, but around the side it looks almost fuzzy. There is lots of detail in the painting, though it's also simple. There is simplicity in the color scheme, it is mostly greens, browns, and there is some purple in there. Even though the color scheme is fairly simple, and almost dull, it still shows lots of details and looks very realistic.…
