Luncheon On The Grass Paintings

Decent Essays
Luncheon on the Grass painting from Edouard Manet. The controversies that I see using my own culture and ethnicity. In my culture, we females don’t portray themselves like that. So, that painting would’ve to stir up controversies. Nevertheless, when it comes to others views I found that that the artwork was not taken due to the gentlemen wearing clothing. The reason for that is in that culture in those times the artwork was in the classical view. Where they wanted their art to showcase of the human structure and create realistic views.
The Fountain from Marcel Duchamp, controversies is that the Fountain is not appropriate for the art gallery. With me I feel the same way, that isn’t art and even if you had to pay for your art to display that

    q1. Plate 2, Yasumasa Morimura's "Daughter of Art History (1990)" appropriates a typical scene of 19th century life from Plate 1, “Manet's bar at the Folies-Bergere”, 1882. As acknowledged in the extract this artwork achieves its main meaning through male, Japanese artist Morimura impersonating the main subject of the painting, a young white woman. This combined with the detailed copying of many existing aspects of the original painting and a complex synthesis of new ideas and symbols with the old, creates a new mixed meaning that challenges the viewer to reconsider their ideas on gender, race and the history of art. Additionally, Morimura's playful, nude parody of Manet’s original is further heightened by his rendering of the artwork in…

    The work that I have chosen from a previous discussion would be Pic Island by Lawren S. Harris which is held at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. This piece of art I have always enjoyed looking at. I find calming paintings very nice to look at, I'm not much into the whole scary dark and stormy art pieces that people have made in the past. Everyone has an opinion on what the world looks like to them, many don't actually create what is called art, but when someone does, it’s their expression and their creativity that many enjoy to looking at.…

    Thomas and Joe: The Landscapers Thomas Gainsborough and Joe Rader Roberts are not your typical landscapers. In fact, the two are not the manual laborers who clean and fix up your lawn and gardens. Both men are artists who have remarkable works of landscape art. The difference between the two is that they were born nearly two centuries apart, so one can most likely see a huge setting and story difference in the works of art. I honestly could not have picked a better combination to compare and explain in detail about their tremendous artwork.…

    Censorship has long been a part of American culture, shaping the overall morals of the people. This is a point made in the excerpt from The Atlantic Monthly as the writer states that some will disagree with something being allowed to be shown in front of children while others believe it should be allowed. This issue is still present to this day and many people maintain very ambiguous opinions on the topic. These ambiguous opinions are capitalized on in the article as being between moralists and artists; those who believe these artworks being shown is evil and then those who only see the beauty in the works. The writer sums this up well, claiming that “Moralists will justify it for one set of reasons; artists will acede to it for another.”.…

    “Do not let us oppose our canon of taste, however cultivated to a canon of morals held by a considerable number of sincere persons, however mistaken. ”(81-86) Since art museums began to display statues and other forms of art that portray humans there has been many debates on whether certain pieces should be out for all to see or not. Who gets to decide what is displayed? Should it be the public opinion? The writer of The Atlantic Monthly firmly believes that the art shown in museums should be determined by the public.…

    Select ONE work of art that has not appeared in the course lectures or tutorials, and discuss it from THREE different methodological perspectives. Different methodological perspectives enable further examination of David with the head of Goliath (1573-1610), painting made by Italian painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610). David with the head of Goliath can be evaluated using biographically-based art history on the life and work of Caravaggio, providing a detailed exposition of the life of the artist, closely linked by his contemporaries to his style and aesthetics. Social constructs are significant in the analysis of the piece, employing Marxist theory in David with the head of Goliath, point out important aspects of the17th…

    Throughout this course I have gained more of an appreciation for artwork and the artists that create them. I have also gained an appreciation for the people that try to define what art is in general or more specifically what makes good art. We have read great thinkers and their philosophies on this, and the fact that even people of such great intelligence can disagree on the subject proves how challenging it can be. By reading the opinions of these great thinkers, and by discussing their thought with our class, I feel I am in a much better place as to define what makes good art myself. I define art as anything created by someone that inspires another to appreciation.…
