    It is a seventeenth century panel painting of tempera and gold on wood. The colors are of dark shades and very little background. I like how the Virgin s head is highlighted with a darker shade of gold than the background. The gold leaf has been burnished and tooled with punched designs in the halo of the Virgin, the decorative pastiglia in the corner, and the flat of the panel along the arch above the Virgin. The final layers of paint have been applied.…

    A layering technique was used letting the colors peek around each other and create an abstract still life. The piece of art is made up of layers being added and erased, creating history to get a result of both of the artists final product, which both show their similar artistic mind set. Since the artwork was on the larger side; roughly three by two feet. The artists were letting the viewers use their corpus callosum to make their own artistic reflections between the familiar and the abstract. The board used to mount the artwork puts the piece back into the thin off white frame which creates the viewers mind to enter the artwork with their eyes and minds to almost manipulate the viewers to seek the unknown truth of the art…

    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.…

    Compare and Contrast Essay The two works of art that I have chosen to compare and contrast had me worried at first. I wondered if there were enough things to compare between the two. However, after evaluating Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s Samurai Attacks Woman and Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s self portrait, I have come to find that they share many things in common; from medium to colour, I will discuss the vast array of contrasts as well as similarities. It helps first to describe the two pieces. The first one that caught my eye while perusing through the database was Tsukioka’s, which was created during the Meiji period of Japan.…

    Group 4. “I have observed this in my experience of slavery, -- that whenever my condition was improved, instead of its increasing my contentment, it only increased my desire to be free, and set me to thinking of plans to gain my freedom. I have found that, to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and as far as possible, to annihilate the power of reason.”…

    The artwork I chose to imagine is Van Gogh’s famous oil painting called Starry Night. It was painted in June of 1889 and has grown to be known as one of his most famous paintings. Van Gogh was a post-impressionist and painted Starry Night from memory in his apartment. The view is of a village from a window in an asylum. I chose this painting because it has always been hanging in my Aunt’s living room.…

    Art is like a window to the mind, representing how one thinks or what one feels. In some cases, it may contain elements from one’s unconscious; elements that even they are not aware of themselves. Art has zero qualifications, allowing it to be crafted by anyone and everyone, while still containing components of its creator and provoking feelings in its spectators. (Rustin, 2008) Of the pieces involved in the Best of the Season exhibit at the Webber Gallery, Lunch With Einstein by David D’Alessandris is one of the more “unusual” pieces. It contains four figures, whose heads seem to be taken from elsewhere and pasted onto their bodies.…

    April 9, 1931, eight teenage “hobo negroes” were sentenced to death after being convicted of attacking two white girls on a train. This story became quite popular in the press and years later still manages to conjure up arguments about the social injustice. Nine black teenage boys climbed upon a train, in a way only to look for work, and were confronted by two white males where a dispute broke out, in the mix of it all, two white females, joined in the argument. At the time the story broke out, no one truly knew the story because everyone believed the words of the whites who after the dispute left the train and reported the “committed crime” to local police. The “negro” boys were taken into custody in Scottsboro, Alabama, as the boys were referred…

    The piece that I would rate as my overall favorite was located on the back wall of the exhibit hall. It was very large, so that it covered most of the wall. It was a charcoal sketch on tan paper. Throughout this sketch, there were white highlighted markings, which added to the contrast of the dark, black velvet appearance of the charcoal. The work depicted a woman in Victorian-Era attire.…

    In 1909 Sergei Shchkin, a Russian industrialist, asked Henri Matisse for three large paintings to decorate part of his house (Matisse, Dance I, n.d.). Dance 1 was one of these paintings (Matisse, Dance I, n.d.).

Both versions are considered oil paintings (Matisse, Dance I, n.d.). “Dance 1” has a similar design than another painting he made in 1906 titled “Bonheur de Vivre” (Matisse, Dance I, n.d.).…

    The Last Drop Analysis

    The Last Drop (The Gay Cavalier) My piece of choice is The Last Drop by Judith Leyster. What intrigued me most about this painting was the lingering and threatening feel I received, (while only glancing at the painting passing by!) which is what forced me to pay closer attention to the Baroque styled painting of the seventeenth century. As I leaned in closer, (and began to really take notice of the paintings attributes), I realized that the deep rich oil shading wasn’t the only thing giving me the creeps – but the skeleton hanging above the two subjects of the painting.…
