    The museum I visited was the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, Florida. There were three main exhibitions open, but the one I spent the most time in was the Bill Rutherfoord: Allegory of No Region. The exhibition was a culmination of eleven large scale pieces of art by Bill Rutherfoord that were done over an eight-year period. The main series, Allegory of No Region, contains paintings that take the viewer through a series of colorful allegories full of symbolism, form, and narrative. Rutherfoord, an American artist from Virginia, references contemporary and historical issues spanning from the 18th century to present times by taking the African folk character Brer Rabbit on an epic adventure through time.…

    Contrasting themes between the closed state and the first open state of Matthias Grunewald’s Isenheim Altarpiece are apparent with one look. According to the textbook, the closed state showed a gruesome take on the Crucifixion, Grunewald’s inspiration for the horrific panel was from the St. Bridget of Sweden, whose work described the Crucifixion unlike it had been described before (Stokstad 685). On the other hand, the first opening illustrates vivid colors, joyous biblical events, and many different focuses. According to Stokstad, the paintings were done for a specific audience.…

    If you look close enough, there seem to be faces hiding in the chaos. Pousette-Dart may not have meant them, but they are most definitely there. It looks like there are musical representations, such as music notes and small disfigured instruments. The small amount of color in this painting suggests hope in the war, the break in the storm. The suggestion that we can win, and with the help of many, many…

    This painting is composed of three panels picturing different scenes of the New Testament: The Annunciation, The Adoration of Shepherds and the Flight into Egypt. The left and central panels depict the subjects in what seems to be a Gothic Temple. This is not a surprising characteristic due to the tradition in Northern Renaissance paintings illustrate characters from the Bible in a contemporary earthly environment that is known by the artist. This can be perceived in the scenery he set the painting in: it seems like a northern European landscape. The Mérode Altarpiece by the Maître of Flémalle and many other artworks from that period feature the presence of biblical characters in a setting familiar to the artist.…

(Stevens, 15). In this case, the subject matter presents the inner happenings of a Sultan’s harem.…

    The themes in the right catacomb use art to visualize important stories and concepts along with imagery from Roman and Jewish art. More specifically the right image shows Christian subjects like Jesus and others from the religion but in a Roman style. The right image also implements a common theme that arose in Christian art called the narrative image, more specifically it represents an event from St. Peter's life, as well as iconic imagery, in this example the catacomb shows Christ's face with alpha and omega, a theme of this period in art history.

    “Framed by images of physical and mental torture in dark interiors” (Max Beckmann in New York), the center panel depicts a woman and infant in the middle ground symbolize Mary and Jesus Christ as a child, child. The ugly, humble and degrading child in the right panel had transformed into a clean, beautiful and blonde, facing backward, pointing to the left. In the foreground, on the right is a Fisher King, symbolizing Christ, who is wearing a golden crown and belt. The opposite navigational direction suggests that they are puzzled and not sure where to go.

    The oil on canvas painting “Over the Rainbow” created by Alfredo Arreguin serves as a commentary on the visible and the hidden elements of one’s identity. Alfredo Arreguin’s painting “Over the Rainbow” greets you to your right as you enter the Mexican Museum of Art, located in San Francisco’s Fort Mason. The building of the museum is gargantuan, minimalistic and intimidating in its military presence. When you walk into the museum the room is suddenly very tiny and as you turn the corner of the small entry way your eye is immediately drawn to the fantastically colorful and aesthetically disorienting Arreguin painting.…

    I chose this image because it’s always been one of my favorites and it’s something that nearly all of us know about. To start off the first thing you notice is the scale. She is the largest item in the painting and she is right up front which immediately lets you know she is the focal point and what is important in this piece. Next is unity, the soft edges of her figure are very similar to the soft tone you see in the background of the painting. The similarity between the two helps unify the image (Sachant, pg. 63).…
