The painting I am doing a critique on is called Night Veil. Night Veil was created by Linda Mitchell in 2015. This piece of artwork was located at Northwest Florida State College. This piece of artwork is composed on a wood panel. I have always enjoyed artwork that is composed on pieces of wood. They give off a different type of vibe instead of a painting painted on a regular canvas. On this wood panel is a painting of a deer. This deer looks very peaceful. I enjoy looking at artwork that…

742–756), a leading horse painter of the Tang dynasty (唐618–907). To Grace Glueck of The New York Times, Night-Shining White is “one of the most appealing animals in Chinese art” (Glueck, 1997). This painting reveals a window to reach a further understanding of Chinese culture, as it points out the socio-political role that art played through the ages, and still influences the mindset of these people.

An artwork that was influenced by Japonism “Bridge in the rain: after Hiroshige” by Van Gogh is an oil on canvas painting that was created in 1887 in Paris, France.

commit suicide (although this might be because I’m obsessed with his artwork and his tragic backstory ever since the Doctor Who episode). So whether it’s hanging in a museum, on a corkboard, or being used as an advertisement for beer, a piece of art can be used for any purpose, even ones made by “the masters.” Now mystification definitely plays a part in this because although there’s no doubt that Van Gogh was a great painter, are his paintings really worth $82 million?
