Show More
I have chosen an art from the Realism and Romantic period for my project and will compare paintings by Jean-François Millet title The Gleaners and Eugène Delacroix title The Natchez. These two pictures have similar landscapes but hides the hardship and suffering whice have been shewed from the foreground of the paintings. Judging from the pictures The Gleaner and The Natchez, it is fair to say that “Picture say a thousand words” but hides the true story.

The Gleaner painting was created in 1857 and the foreground of the photos shows three women in the field planting or harvesting crops and a beautiful landscape. The actual story tell the struggle and suffering poor women faced in order to feed their family. Millet, painting The Gleaners depicts

    Workers On The Land Analysis

    On display in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art are two works painted within about a decade of each other. At first glance, they seem to have little in common other than the fact that they each depict four human beings. One would not expect to be able to draw a meaningful commonality between the two based solely on this, and if the viewers make their observation merely on the surface level of the works, they will not. However, the existence of these two sets of people, the essence of humanity that they embody, is a powerful thing to examine when we observe how each artist arrives at his interpretation of humanity.…

    Comparing Las Meninas 'And The Allegory Of Painting'

    In the following essay I’m going to compare and contrast two 17th century artworks – “Las Meninas” by Diego Velazquez (1656) and “The Allegory of Painting” by Johannes Vermeer. Paintings depict artists working on a portrait, however, in Velasquez’s work the viewer is the person who is being painted and in Vermeer’s the viewer is just an observer of the artistic process. The only reason the observer knows that he is the center object of the future fictional painting is in the mirror on the back wall. The couple in the reflection is King Philip IV and his wife, Mariana. (Foucault, 8).…

    Kehinde Wiley: Painting Analysis

    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.…

    The Family 1941 Analysis

    I chose to analyze the The Family - 1941 portray for this essay because I like the usage of the colors on this work. I feel confident analyzing colors in artworks because I learned about the emotions transmitted through colors in various art classes that I took in High School and College. Most art professors like to stress the importance of color in a work of art. They say that the understanding of the usage of the colors in a piece is important when criticizing an artwork. Colors are very important in an art work because it can give away a lot of information about the emotional state of the work.…

    Painting In Joan Mitchell's Chamonix

    Joan Mitchell’s Chamonix 1962 painting appears to be a mess at first glance; paint violently pushed across canvas, no focal point and seemingly just no point to this piece. However, by giving a name to this abstract mess, we are able to begin to use our imagination to begin to see shapes take form to see that Mitchell has made an abstraction of a French mountain and it is our job as a viewer to use our minds to make a story of her canvas. Mitchell’s 200 by 217.2cm canvas overtakes your vision the second you step in front of it. As you stare at all the paint splattered in the middle of the painting, you begin to notice that it’s not just a mess of paint. Mitchell didn’t do a ‘Jackson Pollock’ and slap paint on the canvas.…

    “Oh right….Well, did you know that Grant Wood came across this house in August of 1930 on a car ride which he was very mesmerized by the Gothic style of the house. He then started painting the house on a piece of cardboard. In his very first sketch, he drew male and female figures, with the man actually holding a rake. By doing this, it almost portrays a certain status that was held in society at that time. “ Anna “Wow. Impressive.”…

Le Dejeuner sur l’herbe was created in 1862-1863 by Èdouard Manet. The Birth of Venus was created in 1484-1486 by Sandro Botticelli. When you look at both paintings there are many similarities you can point out just by looking at them.…

    One of my phrases has to be a picture is worth thousand words. Attending the De Young Museum was phenomenal experience because of the artwork that they showcased ranging from the South America all the way to Africa which shows how diverse they were. However, two images that caught my attention was the Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners and the Savages of the Pacific Ocean. They both contained similarities when it came to the time period known as the neo-classicism while also differences when it comes to the meaning behind the images, and the techniques that the artists used. Even though there were more differences than similarities among the images they both were unique in their own ways.…

    That idea of white trash is prevalent in the south, and it’s possible her family was the definition of it. Parents that married straight out of high school for the mother to escape an abusive family. A family with a father that openly cheated on their mother, and a mother who stayed at home, running a beauty shop from their basement, whose reactions to her husband's actions were the talk of the small Baptist church. Growing up on a street of only the Call and Baldwin family, she was surrounded by only relatives. Living in a one story ranch with a blue tin roof, and with the county famous “Paint Man” as a father.…

    Context In Art

    Within the world of contemporary art, an issue that often presents itself is the issue of context. In many cases such as the one I will present in this essay, the idea of understanding and appreciating a piece of work is often quite difficult without the back-story. Not only does context place the work in time, but also allows us as viewers to further relate our own experiences to what the artist is trying to say. This process of obtaining context through research therefore allows for a deeper appreciation of the given work despite our initial assumptions and bias.…
