Summary Of The Innocent Eye Test By Mark Tansey

Improved Essays
Notion Reality The Innocent Eye Test was painted by Mark Tansey in 1981. It is an oil painting picture. It is being exhibited at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. We can see in this painting, there is a cow standing and observing a picture of the other cows. While around a cow are a group of well looking men, they all dressed in suits and wearing glasses, look like they are watching and recording a cow’s performance. It can be said a cow that the men are watching is a “real” cow and the cows in the picture are “non-real” cows. Why the artist let a cow observes the painting instead of human? For me, a “real “cow presented for the innocent eye. The innocent eye can be understood as “fool sight”, somebody’s vision can easy to be tricked

    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).…

    The Bluest Eye: Socratic Seminar further analyzed interesting parts of Morrison’s chapter, autumn. First, I thought it was an interesting that white standards of beauty today are not as prominent as it was in the past, but as society evolved these issues plaguing our society has also evolved into different forms. For example, in the modeling career there is diversity among campaigns like Aerie and as Emily experienced first-hand, beauty touches today are with physical makeup instead of edits for a perfect beauty image. However, the pressure for beauty is still a problem, as Jamie said, when you search Google the first images that show up are white women and as Christina said, actors like Beyonce, a confident black female, have edits making them lighter, showing that there is…

    If a person stood in the portrait’s room and looked in the mirror, the details would not be as clear as van Eyck paints them. Not only are the details of the mirror too clear, the mirror itself is too low on the wall to have much use; however, van Eyck most likely positioned the mirror there for the scene to be reflected back easily. The minuscule details of the portrait are a way for van Eyck to demonstrate his prowess with oil paints. Due to van Eyck’s desire to demonstrate his mastery of the new medium, he often overcompensates and unintentionally creates an unrealistic view. Furthermore, this allows modern art historians a chance to interpret how van Eyck painted Realism.…

    They are too small beyond recognition, so viewers can just make out a figure. Some artworks that impressionists in the 19th century created share some commonalities with this painting. Impressionists depicted the nature with phenomenology excluding political, social, historical thought. They just focused on nature itself, so people are usually cropped or are represented by blurry silhouettes. The big difference from impressionism and the distinct feature of this painting is that what the artist wants to deliver is small philosophy, which is harmony between humanity and nature.…

Additionally, the behaviour of society’s attitudes towards both girls is one of a bigotry nature, which challenges their self-worth and respect.…
