The Kiss Vs Christina's World

Improved Essays
The kiss artwork is a sculpture made with marble and the Christina’s World artwork is a painting made with tempera. Both artworks has a meaningful story behind that you would never think of. For example, in the painting Christina’s World somebody would think that Christina is just sitting on the grass catching the breeze through her hair and enjoying the day instead of her having an disorder that makes her not able to walk. For the sculpture The Kiss you would think that Auguste just saw two people kissing and thought it would be nice to make something special instead of a tragedy love story like Romeo and Juliet. The KIss sculpture uses only one color because of his use of marble and Andrew’s painting Christina’s World uses only neutral colors

    The two art works have vast differences but are centered around a woman in a somber like state of mind. Moreover, when analyzing both paintings it's clear that the women have the same pose. Although their facial expressions are different the placement of their hands are identical. I truly believe both artists have captured the women in two different lights. In the “ Wynwood’s Finest” piece, Abstrk has created Mona Loca in a sexually suggestive manner, given the thigh length, low bust-line dress, and the fishnet panty hose.…

    Brain Caswell explores the themes appearance and reality, showing how appearances can be deceptive and how humans are complex in his novel, Double Exposure. He does this by using the metaphor of double exposure, and characterisation. Caswell also effectively used intertextuality to ensure that the reader has a greater understanding of the main themes, and to convey different ideas that are explored during the novel. Double Exposure deals with ideas of how appearance and reality can be deceptive and the complexity of humans, which is explored through the metaphor of double exposure itself. In art, double exposure is a technique where two or more exposures are changed to create a single image, and has a corresponding meaning in respect of the two images.…

    The two pieces from the Point Loma High School art gallery I picked to compare were by Nicole Soriano and Lainey Reynolds. The first piece, by Soriano, is a drawing with many celebrities such as Barack Obama and Miley Cyrus along with shoes, a television, a rocketship, etc. Everything in the drawing seems to be melting like a popsicle as well. The second piece, a painting by Lainey Reynolds, shows a girl sitting upside down with her legs up and crossed. She is staring directly forward and little black dots are painted all around her.…

In this painting the main subject is on the ground looking towards a barn and house that appear to be on a farmland in a field. The subject is in a lavender pink dress that is slightly faded. This is a major contrast to the farmland and buildings as these are various shades of grey-brown which is a complementary colour to the faded celeste blue.…

    John Seal is a Los Angeles-based artist, whose solo exhibition "I Upon My Frontiers Here Keep My Residence" is on view at Gavin Brown Enterprise in the Bowery district. There are a series of works where the outline of a jacket is invaded by his flowery images. This kind of cartoon frame reflects Seal’s childhood when he was raised by television icons such as gilligan and he-man. However, the content of images shows me a great sense of impressionism.…

    Author Lailah Gifty Akita once said, “You have to look closely to see clearly.” This assertion resembles the nature of both the visual and performing arts. In order for one to see the depths of any piece of art, one must assess it carefully. Examining Henri Matisse’s painting, Vase, Bottle, and Fruit, Van Halen’s song “Jump,” and Swan Lake, they appear to be three distinctly different pieces of art, however analyzing these pieces thoroughly, one can see the many similarities between the three. Resembling Van Halen’s song which is composed of notes, pitches, and beats, Vase, Bottle, and Fruit is composed of colors, shapes, and lines and Swan Lake is comprised of footwork, gestures, and pirouettes.…

    The Mona Lisa and Nat King Coles song called the Mona Lisa are very similar and mention many items that are related. Including line 5 in the song Mona Lisa it states that her smile is strange but we do not actually know what she is feeling or thinking of. That is still a mystery to this day of what the women in the painting was going through in her life at that exact time the painting was created and what was she smiling about. Nat King Cole asks Mona Lisa if she is smiling because of a lover or of a broken heart and really no one will ever know the true question. Lines 9-10 Cole implies that the painting looks so real and warm because Leonardo Da Vinci made her come to life, but she is just a person in a painting and not alive.…

    The comparison between a typical poem about a woman missing her lover and a poem about a lady ghoul or demon of some sort getting herself ready for a feast with her lover illuminates the powerful way the same signifiers of a woman in love can be wielded by skilled poets to create two equally strong but totally conflicting moods. Poem 212 describes young women playing in water and decorating themselves with nature to the delight of the poet. It starts with the image of a girl’s bodice that is soaking wet. The suggestion here is of that soaked bodice clinging to the as of yet unmentioned bodies of the young women. The description of it being wet with “cooling water” suggests that these girls are in the water because of the heat, and as mentioned…

Paul Signac’s, Entrance to Grand Canal, Venice, is a French oil painting on canvas which portrays Venice’s entrance to the Grand Canal.…

    Although the main differences between this two works is the media and the use of color of the works. Dominguez’s being a life drawing painting and therefore using different colors, instead of the almost monochromatic palette which Macias’s used in her print. Comparing these two works of art a similarity that ties both works is the subject of abuse, while some viewers might argue that Dominguez’s work does not necessarily depicts abuse, it’s the title of the work The Deepest Secrets which reinforces the subject of abuse, which as previously mentioned is something that victims some times keep as a secret. Another difference is the way the subject is approached, in the case of Dominquez work she depicted the bruises and cuts in the knees suggesting the physical abuse. While Macias’s print shows throughout the use of words and the detail of the handprints the psychological side of the abuse.…
