    Charles Emile-August Carolus-Duran’s piece titled Portrait of an Artist in her Studio represents the action of a women painting. This piece was made in the late 19th century (c. 1880) and was considered one of Carolus-Duran’s great society portraits. The piece’s present location is the La Salle University Art Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and its original location was *****. This portrait is oil on canvas, and the “quick, loose brushwork” technique can be accredited to masters such as Diego Velasquez and Edouard Manet (placard.) Just as the painting suggests, the painting’s subject is an artist, many say Carolus-Duran’s wife or mistress, in her studio.…

    To begin with, my view of art has changed, for I now know that it may not only be a painting or sculpture, but also a building design or a cultural artifact. Objects such as masks, pieces of clothing, and blueprints allow the audience to admire and realize that art has many forms and shapes which represent their heritage and importance in their time. For instance, the outstanding way that Jeff Koons demonstrates the importance of art and its surroundings with his artwork Puppy, located in Spain. With this towering image, this piece allows the viewer to appreciate its architecture and assemblage, adorned with real and natural flowers to enhance its beauty.…

    Art, Action & Revival by David S. Fetcho is definitely one of the most thought out and thoughtful articles that I have read on the church and theatre in a long time. Fetcho begins his article with stating that “in many ways, the world of art and the Christian church are parallel universes. Both are concerned with the goal of becoming the point of social, psychological and spiritual integration for individuals and for society as a whole.” He’s quite right of course, and goes onto how the church and theatre ought to be married in the dramatic arts. He argues for the idea that the Christian artist, though a hundred years ago would have been crucified in the Church, is valiantly attempting to “reclaim lost ground--reclaiming territory that has…

    Though he lived as an unknown artist during his lifetime, in death Henry Darger has achieved high acclaim in the art world. Not since Andy Warhol exploded onto the scene in the 1960s has the contemporary art world held an artist in such high esteem. Since his death in 1973, Darger gained notoriety as one of the greatest self-taught artist in America and the best outsider artist in the world. His illustrations are described by many as nothing short of genius, though that is a paradox of sorts. Darger’s works were never intended to be shared with the public.…

    Argumentative Essay In the foreword to Sacred Legacy: Edward S. Curtis and the North American Indian, Pulitzer Prize winning Native American author N. Scott Momaday posits that, "in the hands of an extraordinary artist", photography can cease to be the "static record" of a moment in time and transcend to a "deeper level" of artistic understanding. Momaday makes these claims when discussing the work of renowned photographer Edward S. Curtis, who spent his lifetime perfecting the art of photography while capturing images of Native Americans. Upon examining Edward S. Curtis's photographic work and the effects of photography on American culture from its inception to its use in the modern age, one can clearly see that Momaday's claims of photography carrying not just a medial value but instead possessing a deeper level of artistic power are completely valid.…

    The beautifully wise words of an American painter, Robert Motherwell, could not have described abstract art any better I strongly believe. He intricately and sophisticatedly describes the breath-taking style of abstract art as follows, “The function of abstraction is to get rid of a lot of reality. You start with as much richness as you want, and subtract, and then you arrive at the residue of essences that you’re interested in.” This description really allows the reader to visualize the artist at the canvas, slapping the paint on and then every so carefully stripping away the perfect amount to acquire the goal and portray the image in their brains. I love the amount of visualization Motherwell allows, and encourages the viewer to experience.…

    The documentary “Exit Through the Gift Shop” depicts the transformation of a family man obsessed with filming every waking moment, Thierry Guetta, into a self-absorbed and self-proclaimed artist, Mr. Brainwash. In capturing this man’s journey, the documentary brings to light two significant issues in the world of art. The first being the use of assistants to create artwork and the second being the instantaneous success of an artist; whom without the endorsements of already renowned and respected street artists would have never amounted to anything noteworthy. For generations, the use of assistants to create artwork has been an imperative asset to several notorious artists, including Mr. Brainwash.…

    Over the period of time the art movement has changed drastically. Usually when the art changes it relate to the era that it was in.

When it comes to art any piece is capable of being analyzed and compared in terms of style. Each art piece has its own identities and uniqueness the only one that has an incomplete identity is the art piece that is unfinished, and even than the creator themselves must decide whether their piece is done.…

    In order to identify and mimic the creative prospects of the work that elicit detail, I had to admire certain elements and suspect their relevance to the piece, where only then I could interpret them and advance my own creation from the techniques that I observed. While we study many beautiful pieces of art throughout the entirety of this semester, between the originality, economic struggles, and over complications that are exhibited within this work, I believe this work is the most advanced of which we saw, considering the region from whence it…
