Jackson Pollock The Deep Analysis

Decent Essays
Based on my research, The Deep is a very special piece to Jackson Pollock. Just by looking at this painting, you can imagine how deep he was into his art. We could take the white shading as the surface and the dark part being the deep chasm where a man’s deep secrets hide. The secrets, which doesn’t appear frequently even to the individual himself. Overtime, the deep becomes secretive with darkness for reason that it stayed untouched for a very long time. This deep is the place where the person’s actual self lives, however he himself never dares to look into it.

    An art gallery featuring paintings by Cindy Vojnovic was held in ESU’s Fine and Performing Art Center this past Wednesday. Vojnovic stated that she had gotten into painting when she was around three years old, after visiting an art exhibit with her parents, because she was “completely lost in the brush work”. Vojnovic’s paintings told the story of a forgotten steam-boat fire that happened on June 15, 1904. The sinking of the General Slocum, or the General Slocum disaster was the burning of a steamboat on the shoreline of New York. Most of the people who died in that fire were women and children, meaning more than 50% of the total passengers had not survived.…

    I chose The Scream by Edvard Munch because I like how he used mostly warm colours to portray a tragic incident. The reddish sky in the background is the artist's memory of the effects of the powerful volcanic eruption of Krakatoa, which deeply tinted sunset skies red in parts of the Western hemisphere for months, about a decade before he painted The Scream. The elements such as line, color, light and shadow, form, and balance are to create the effects of horror, anxiety and endless other unpleasant emotions that the people who look at it may experience while interpreting this painting, just like how I felt when I first saw it.…

    In the scene we performed in The Jacksonian (2014) by Beth Henley, my character Susan comes to the Jacksonian motel to pick up her daughter Rosy, who has been visiting her father Perch. Susan small talks with the bartender Fred until Perch shows up, high on morphine, and they speak about the incident that led him to getting his dental license evoked. Susan storms away after it is clear that Perch will never reconcile their relationship or his career. Performing this scene was an interesting experience on various levels. I have never done much acting but getting into the shoes of snobbish and vulnerably powerless Susan was a great way to appreciate the text more.…

    In her 2006 article “The Trouble with (the Term) Art”, Carolyn Dean argues that the using the word “art” for both past visual expressions (particularly nonwestern) does not quite capture the true definition of what these pieces are. This argument is valid, to consider these works as mere entertainment erases a culture’s true history and identity. Dean has a very strong argument for the analysis and retirement of the term “art”, however the ideas surrounding the concept of “art” explain the larger issue as a whole. Carolyn Dean argues that pinning the recent idea of “art” on nonwestern works does not inform one about the culture, but rather condenses that culture into easily defined novelties.…

    The thoughts, desires, and memories of humans are a mystery to everyone in the world including themselves. As the persona of the poem a "Green Crab 's Shell" shows, the sad thing is that many people will never truly discover these things because they do not open themselves up and explore the deepest parts of their souls. The complex body of a dead crab is explored by the persona who compares it to a human and personifies it, to show that unlike the crab, humans have the ability to open themselves up and explore the mysterious chambers of themselves without having to die. The ability to enter oneself and discover the profound obscurities that the soul and mind hide is a tantalizing prospect that many would agree is worth dying for. The persona…

    Before enter in context about the art movement which belong this painting I think is fair to do a brief review to develop empathy with this painting that received the name of a city located in the Basque region that was considered a Republican bastion that was in conflict with the Nationals represented by the fascist general Francisco Franco. This art work was painted by the Spaniard artist Pablo Picasso in 1937, while he was living as an expatriated in Paris, where he was contacted by members of Spain’s republicans to develop an art work to be exhibited at the Paris’ International Exposition. Picasso at first instance has not idea about the subject of his painting but he received inspiration from the consternation that he suffered when he read in a newspaper that “in the afternoon of the 26th of April 1937, German planes began bombing the town of Guernica, trying out some of their new weaponry and military tactics. Germany, under the direction of Adolf Hitler, had supported the Nationalist side of the Spanish Civil War with weapons and other material…

    Expressive theory of art, while being able to include certain artwork and exclude non-artwork that was problematic for formalism, has difficulties of its own. That is, there seems to be something wrong with arguing that simply because an artist has not felt the emotions expressed in their work their creation is not art. This notion could discount many great creations. For example, suppose there was the most beautiful painting; formally it is perfect, the colours, shape and brush stroke is technically brilliant. Art critics all over the world write about how amazing it is that this artist has captured sadness so exquisitely.…
