Susan Lundberg Raindrops

Decent Essays
On November 23, 2016, I visited Gallery 522 in Bismarck, ND. There are various artists throughout the gallery. Susan Lundberg’s watercolor painting, Raindrops, beautifully depicts five individuals, three women and two men, standing on the street corner in the rain holding different colored and size umbrellas. PreTemp on Paris is an oil on canvas painting also by Lundberg. This painting illustrates a man sitting on the bench in front of a large building. In the foreground are trees and light posts. The painting has exquisite detail and has a great emphasis on outlines and geometric shapes. Stephanie Delmore’s gouache, Nutcracker Suite, stunningly displays four ballerinas dancing. They are dressed in white tutus and have white crowns on their

    An art gallery featuring paintings by Cindy Vojnovic was held in ESU’s Fine and Performing Art Center this past Wednesday. Vojnovic stated that she had gotten into painting when she was around three years old, after visiting an art exhibit with her parents, because she was “completely lost in the brush work”. Vojnovic’s paintings told the story of a forgotten steam-boat fire that happened on June 15, 1904. The sinking of the General Slocum, or the General Slocum disaster was the burning of a steamboat on the shoreline of New York. Most of the people who died in that fire were women and children, meaning more than 50% of the total passengers had not survived.…

    Every day, from the moment we wake up to the time we go to sleep, our eyes are loaded with images we come across by; different people, an abandoned car by the side of the road, construction sites, and much more. As we go through our days we often get caught up in our busy schedules and miss out on the beauty of everyday sights that we have all too much have come accustomed to. Sometimes it takes artists to help us remember that there is beauty in the simple things and one such artist is Michael Stasinos. Michael Stasinos work captures the beauty of a variety of landscapes and people. Stasinos’ Wintonia Hotel, which he painted in 2003, is a piece that captures the resemblance of the hotel to those who view it through different elements and principles.…

    Public art is all around us, and when you take a moment to look around you’ll find some amazing pieces. While walking around downtown there is always one mural that catches my eye every time. Located on the back side of the Burton Cummings Theatre (formerly known as the Walker Theatre, 364 Smith Street.) is an untitled piece by Winston Leathers (1932-2004). Maybe it’s the vibrant colours, or the fact that I spent just over 14 hours waiting outside the theatre two years ago waiting to see my favourite band perform. Either way, I can’t help but do a double take when I happen to walk by.…

    In this exceedingly powerful painting, “Figures in a Landscape” painted in 1972 by Sidney Goodman, a child, woman, and man are in what looks to be a park because of the sandbox and blue and red swing set. In the background the mountains are bright and happy with houses surrounded by many tall green trees. On the right side of the painting is a huge dark gloomy cloud like when a murder is about to occur in a horror movie. The figures look like something is going on in their mind, maybe they are unhappy with each other or something is really upsetting them. When I see this painting I feel as if the figures are in there own world not aware of their surroundings.…

    The most visible building is some type of barn dressed in a chain link fence that becomes a wooden fence. Taylor’s “paintings,” as she calls them, are not necessarily of images people want to see but of images people need to see. I think Taylor and Saar’s works illustrate the daily struggles of people and speak into an idea of social status. Upon entering the NCMA, one of the first works of art I was introduced to was “Tippy Toes.” Standing alone, she greets people by the helpdesk.…

    Wiley’s artwork depicts young men and women of color from various parts of the world. Some of these men and woman are portrayed assuming the poses of Classical European paintings of aristocrats, royalty, and noblemen. By replacing the historical figures with everyday men and women the artist brings attention to the absence of African Americans from cultural and historical events. In Wiley’s painting WILLEM VAN HEYTHUYSEN, he depicts a young black man in the same pose as the Haarlem cloth merchant, Willem van Heythuysen.…

    This paper will discuss eight different images from eight different locations based on their themes as well as photographs and images from Exhibition 100+ and Exhibition American Modernism. The different artwork for discussion in the paper comes from China, Italy, and Cyprus. The eight artworks from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts were quite fascinating and poignant for me in terms of their richness in history, culture, religion, and nature.
