The work of art I chose to discuss this week is, Equestrian Portrait of King Phillip II (Michael Jackson), an oil on canvas painting done in 2010 by Kehinde Wiley. I chose this painting because Kehinde Wiley’s art interests me. When I first looked up some of his work I found that he has a signature style of remake classic paintings from the 17th century all the way up to the 19th century. But he adds his own twist to them. He gets innovative and incorporates African-American figures into his paintings as the focal point.…

Artwork offers a visual insight into the culture in the Americas during the time of colonization.

The 15th panel in the 1763 Caste Painting Series by Miguel Cabrera; De Mestizo y d 'India is an oil on canvas painting which depicts a mixed race family; a Mestizo man, an Indian woman and their two children, whom the caste system labels as “Coyotes”. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Spanish word “mestizo” refers to a man of European and Native American origin.

Shamanism is a front running hypothesis and is associated with magico-religious expression through the form of cave art. However, it’s a highly contentious subject with some people fiercely opposing this theory and branding its advocates as ‘shamaniacs’. Perhaps the contention lies with “the loose use of labels and names such as shamanism that has led to some of the confusion” (Taçon, 2006). Often shamanism has been used to rationalize almost everything in a way that suggests it was “shamans and their initiates that were the main or even exclusive producers of rock art” (Taçon, 2006). Even though shamanism has been a long standing theory for cave art interpretations, it has only been taken seriously in the scientific field within the last two decades, and is based on ethnographic data linked to San rock art in Southern Africa.…
1. Whitley uses the phrase of "graphic clarity" to describe the way that artists would display their master pieces. Whitely states that the artist creating this type of art had to be confident and precise with the lines they were making in order for the art to last around fourteen thousand years. An example of this type of "graphic clarity" art would be similar to the bison painted in the Lascaux cave located in France. The paintings are detailed in a way they seem to teach a lesson, but archeologist do not know the exact story of why the artists illustrated art in this form or the reason why they were created.…
“Prehistoric cave paintings are exactly what the name says, paintings in caves from prehistoric times. They are from a really long time ago and they were the first known from of art by humans. People probably did this when they had some free time and nothing really better to do besides sit around and do nothing.” That is what I thought to myself before watching Werner Herzog’s film Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Many people do not understand the importance of these old pieces of art and what they can tell about past life.…

Describe the Work Hall of Bulls is a beautiful Upper-Paleolithic cave painting made in ca. 15,000 B.C. The painting is scaled larger than life size standing 25 feet tall and 62 feet wide; and, it resides inside of a cave on a coarse, rigid, and uneven rock wall. The cave is located in a small geographical area called Lascaux located in Dordogne France.

The Las Meninas portrait is complex and involves Baroque characteristics. Not only is it very painterly in the way that it just lets highlights and the brushwork sit on the surface, not blended in, but at the same time it involves a tonalistic approach to the shading with shades of white turning into gray and eventually to black. Las Meninas is also complex with the subjects and objects within the work. The portrait or mirror in the Las Meninas work is the same scale as the Las Meninas work and it’s very mysterious in its nature.…
