Examples Of Naturalism In The Akbarnama

Decent Essays
One thing I find similar is that the pictorial conventions of the images all tell a narrative story. Regardless if it’s directed at one person’s autobiography or people as a whole, every picture is worth 1000 words. In the akbarnama was dedicated to the ruler it highlighted him and his accomplishments, while my photographs describe scenes of various scenarios in ideal American life. Both are still intended for the understanding the naturalism of the situations but one revolves around a person the other is focused on expressing different traditions and acts among our

    It is very important for historians to be cautious when they analyze primary sources. It is crucial to review the context carefully in order to try to discover the original meaning and theme of the source. I reviewed three images that were prominent to me and did my best to incorporate the context while analyzing the images. The first image is titled, “A cheife Herowans wife of Pomeoc, and her daughter of the age of 8 or 10 years."…

    In the following essay I’m going to compare and contrast two 17th century artworks – “Las Meninas” by Diego Velazquez (1656) and “The Allegory of Painting” by Johannes Vermeer. Paintings depict artists working on a portrait, however, in Velasquez’s work the viewer is the person who is being painted and in Vermeer’s the viewer is just an observer of the artistic process. The only reason the observer knows that he is the center object of the future fictional painting is in the mirror on the back wall. The couple in the reflection is King Philip IV and his wife, Mariana. (Foucault, 8).…

    Walker Evans I was assigned to write about Walker Evans, born in the USA (1903-1975) who is considered a noticeable American photographer during his time, his art is considered influential during the twentieth century because he is considered a creator in the documentary style in the American photography. His photographs documented American life and culture during 30’s/70’s. I believe his journey through photography is a journey through concept, belief, and art history. At the beginning of his practice Evans admired and reflected the American history as his work documents the actual lifestyle of poor common people, it also described some of their agony and misery, this is why his art became a record that describes the important lifestyle during that time. This was all during the black and white photography technique at his early starts.…

    When I write,I try to capture in words, the half etched thoughts, the unformed silences ,the vaguely understood swirl of emotions all entangled with and undifferentiated from the chaotic images that flash and disappear. When I visualize, I try to capture,in images this time, those half etched thoughts, those unformed silences,those vaguely understood swirls of emotions entangled with and undifferentiated from the chaotic words that flash and disappear. An image, that has never been a word before except vaguely, while it was evolving in the mind, or, a word that has been an image only in the same conditions, stands by itself as the first representation of a reality(or fantasy) that has till then seen only the world of the mind from which it evolved. It is individualistic, unique and beyond judgement , like a new born baby.…

    The purpose of my visual representation is to create an accurate representation of the narrator’s culture in a way that would appeal to an audience of future readers. Tim O’Brien, the narrator, belongs to a culture of people who have a deep understanding of war and how its stories should impact others. The narrator’s culture is heavily influenced by the time period that the text is written. Since the stories took place during the Vietnam war, the narrator’s culture and perception of war stories are centered on his experiences in Vietnam. The short story is structured as a personal narrative, because Tim O’Brien narrates a series of vignettes in first person.…

    Gamson in his reading journal article of (media Images and social construction of reality) gave a very special importance of production of images, than facts or information, reason because he believed that subtle form of meaning construction is at the heart of the issue. However, the difference between conveying of images and conveying of information, as well as facts is not very important. Because facts, as much as images, take on their concept or meaning by being embedded in some bigger system of frame. In order words, Images, is a very useful reminder, such as visual, attention to verbal imagery, and other modes of conveying a broader frame through music.…

    One of the first accounts of Brutalism was given by architectural critic Reyner Banham in his seminal essay titled New Brutalism published in the Architectural Review in 1955, Banham’s conception of New Brutalism was both a movement in the sense of futurism and a style. Banham’s etymology of the term New Brutalism is clarified through his complex and contradictory explanation of Brutalism as both a movement and style. Banham did articulate clearly three underlying rules which are its core components: “1, Memorability as an Image; 2, Clear exhibition of Structure; and 3, Valuation of Materials ‘as found.’” “Remembering that an Image is what affects the emotions, that structure, in its fullest sense, is the relationship of parts, and that materials…

    In John Berger’s book Understanding a Photograph, he argues that there is a distinct discontinuity between an individual viewing a photo, and the actual photo. A picture solely preserves a single moment in time, and while they often act to tell a story, the medium cannot be fully interpreted without knowing the story that surrounds it. Although there is a definite connection between a photograph and the narrative that corresponds with it, the photo is only a visual aid for the story; it does not tell us everything like the written piece does. I agree with Berger’s argument that photographs can shape the written story that is told about a single character through invoking various responses, emotions, feelings, and interpretations between the…

    The Falling Man Analysis

    There is only so much a news article can say, but a photograph can bring emotion to you that changes your outlook on that situation. For example, a very famous photo by Richard Drew called ‘The Falling Man’, a photograph of the 9/11 attack witnessing the moment a workman from the towers plummeted to the ground after jumping. Even though this event was worldwide renowned, many people were unaware of the actual emotion associated with the event, the terror and the destruction that happened on that date. The different and most impacting part of this image is that from this event the most widely known photographs were of the planes or the towers, whereas Drews photograph was of the people, which creates a whole new level of compassion and emotion…

    In John Berger’s essay, “The Suit and the Photograph,” Berger did a superior job at describing the difference between each photograph and their meanings behind them. He used a type of approach that I wasn’t familiar with at first, but it then became clear and was successful at doing so. Berger begins by talking about the photographer August Sander, who is responsible for taking the three photos that were discussed in the essay. He mentions that although there are obvious differences between the photos, there are noticeable similarities as well. One of the main similarities is their expression on their faces and the look in their eyes.…
