The Wonder Of A Women From The Amazon

Improved Essays
This art piece is, “The Wonder Of A Women From The Amazon” by Andrew Cain. It was completed in 2015 and displayed at CSU Stanislaus State Art Gallery. The art piece, now located in CSU Stanislaus State Art Gallery can be viewed straight on when you enter the south door of the gallery. It is an image of Wonder Woman repeated nine times; three images by three images. The image shows the top of Wonder Woman head to her waist. The face of Wonder Woman however is not of a young adult woman, but of a little girl. I chose this art piece because it caught my eye when I first entered the gallery. Another reason I chose this art piece is because I have a little knowledge of who Wonder Woman is. I knew Wonder Woman as a comic heroine when I was little, so I am more comfortable writing about this art piece. This art piece of Wonder Woman is screen print and digital print, and it can only be view from one side because it is hanging on the wall. …show more content…
When I went to look at the art piece, down on the floor below is a picture of a little girl, as I looked back up again at the image I could see the face of the little girl. The face of Wonder Woman however is very faded. You can’t really see the face from far away. The artwork is a comic theme because on the background of Wonder Woman are comical scenes with some text bubbles. In Andrew Cain, “I Don’t Wanna Grow Up”, he stated that the artworks in this series deals with connections in people through personal interest and recollection of childhood memory. I believe that the image of Wonder Woman must be a personal interest and memory of the picture of the little girl on the floor. I also believe that the reason Cain want to depict this image was because he wanted to share the memory of the little girl to

    The work that I am analyzing is Bathsheba After the Bath by Jan Steen (1626-1679). I believe the meaning of the painting shows exactly what women had to endure to be presented to a man of high royalty and had no rights in the matter to reject his advances. The gloomy colors in the painting correlates with the emotion that Bathsheba expresses. Examining the painting I found interesting props surrounding Bathsheba and the maidservants. The painting tells the story of how King David sent for Bathsheba.…

    Here, she depicts the modern woman free to pursue three different objectives: fame, art, and knowledge. The mural did not contain a male, which made it a critical dud. In the Fame section, a nude female child leads young girls to join her up in the air and take flight. This could be construed as a diss towards finding love, as the imagery is very reminiscent of girls being in the “flight of love” in Pompeii paintings.…

    Charles Emile-August Carolus-Duran’s piece titled Portrait of an Artist in her Studio represents the action of a women painting. This piece was made in the late 19th century (c. 1880) and was considered one of Carolus-Duran’s great society portraits. The piece’s present location is the La Salle University Art Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and its original location was *****. This portrait is oil on canvas, and the “quick, loose brushwork” technique can be accredited to masters such as Diego Velasquez and Edouard Manet (placard.) Just as the painting suggests, the painting’s subject is an artist, many say Carolus-Duran’s wife or mistress, in her studio.…

    The next contemporary artist is Kiki Smith. Smith is popular for creating nude prints and sculptures of men and women, but specifically representing women as figures for reproduction, menstruation, and motherhood. Her sculptures revolve around feminine work and explore the physical aspects of the women’s body. In her sculpture Train, made from wax, a woman stands in a small room with red beads flowing out of her vagina. The red beads stand out in the sculpture, because they create a trail behind the woman to symbolize blood and menstruation.…

    This oral history begins with Herminia Quinones’ interview in which she shares her involvement with her church along with her involvement in her children’s PTA meetings in which she was able to influence change in her community. Although she was involved in LULAC for a few years along with her husband, they both felt stronger connections to their church and saw it as a better fit for them to give back. The couple seemed indifferent towards LULAC, which is almost a complete opposite to the last oral history I listened to of Judge Alfred Hernandez who was a highly active member of the organization and was even President a few times. This goes to show that not all Mexican Americans were drawn to the work of political organizations but some sought…

    Overall, Harjo is able to create these two relatable personas to reach her audience. Harjo is able to give these women a voice and allow them to see that they are not alone in their struggles. Even though, Harjo does speak out for these women using her personas she does not make a final decision for them. “As she falls from the 13th floor window on the east side of Chicago, or as she climbs back up to claim herself again” (Kelly 142), which allows the ending to be open for interpretation. Therefore, it allows the Native American women to make a decision about their situations.…

    Lady Godiva The piece that I picked to write about is the first life-sized marble figure accomplished by Anne Whitney, one of America’s well-known women sculptors that worked during the second half of the 19th century. Lady Godiva measures at 67x28x24 inches, the piece was seen on the fourth floor at Dallas Museum of Art on December 22, 2016. This long-forgotten statue was found in a Massachusetts-backyard and was later gifted to the Dallas Museum of Art by Dr. Alessandra Comini. As I walked around in the museum, this statue caught my eye from a distance, at first I thought it was a statue of a saint, but with every inch that I walked closer to the statue, I quickly realized it was something else.…

    It is part of many portraits painted by Saville. One thing I appreciate about Jenny Saville is that she shows the reality of women’s lives. In this painting she shows a women with many scars and bruises on her face. Many women today suffer from domestic violence and are too afraid to speak up. Meanwhile, others are oblivious to the fact that there are many women who are too weak to fend for themselves.…

    What do you make of the irony that women were often treated quite well in Indigenous traditions and yet, today, Native American women are the group of women that experience the highest incidence of domestic violence? My reaction: It upsets me to think about the violence that women are experiencing throughout all cultures. For Native American women to be experiencing the highest domestic violence I feel at fault. If it weren 't for colonization and the “whites” invading the Native American territory the concept of women being less than men would never have been introduced to the Native American culture.…
