    What differs from a photo of nature out in the sun with a photo of nature glared from the moon? Depth. The sun holds emphasis on light that contract to the environment which makes them glow. Therefore, the nature that is shown encaptures the distance from the camera to everything in front with the sun as its boundary. The moon works the same way except it overpowers what’s in front by censoring nature with darkness, making the photo apparent only to the moon than everything else surrounding it.…

    Even without being an experienced scholar, you get the sense that this painting has a deep spiritual meaning. It is assumed the standing female is his wife who appeared in many of his paintings from this time period. The cloud is atomic, reflecting Dali’s growing interest in nuclear mysticism. It ends in a jasmine flower, a symbol of purity which seems to me ironic given its placement. The foot of the Saint, heavy with the dust of the road, represents James’ exhaustive travels.…

    The subject matter of Paul Strand’s Porch Shadows is abstracted by limitations of the artist’s preconceived techniques. Strand isolated the subject’s basic formal elements to make it an aesthetically pleasing photograph and nothing more. Anyone can photograph an object, yet it takes a trained eye and a defined strategy to reduce the object into an abstract form. Porch Shadows exemplifies the Modernist shift in photography by rejecting previous conventions of artistic expression and adopting a style that focuses on line, shape, and tonalities rather than the subject matter itself. The Modernist shift becomes evident by analyzing the formal and technical elements of Porch Shadows, as well as Paul Strand’s background in photography.…

    When looking at a sunset, we do not see it as a detailed, quantifiable object but rather as a being or a face that evokes various inexplicable emotions within us with its constantly changing and fluid expressions. It is difficult to understand how the varying hues of colour and light, the radiance of the sky and its transition into velvety darkness which softens the surrounding landscape, can induce such a surging up of emotion and how it has the power to alter our mood. Although every sunset is different and distinctive in its own way, we still do not know the face of a sunset the same way we recognise the faces of people. Nevertheless there is a certain intimacy in the occurrence, a recognition that is unintentional. This is not a privation however, but an opening onto the vast domain that is the world of perception.…

    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…
