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…

His sheer brilliance of artistic talent is pleasantly conveyed to the viewer through a beautiful colour scheme and perfectly layered brushstrokes. The Starry Night is a mesmerizing visual expression of Gogh’s tortured emotional and spiritual state expressed through an imaginative and dramatic canvas. From the provided visual , I have observed…

central focus of the forgery debacle. Lagrange’s lawyers at the Dontzin Law Firm made it clear that they did not care if Hammer was specified as a part of the lawsuit. Hammer also runs Manhattan’s Hammer Galleries and is chairman emeritus of the Hammer Museum in L.A. Hammer has information that could be relevant to their case, and Lagrange’s lawyers have tried multiple times to subpoena it. Plus, Hammer voluntarily submitted an affidavit in December as part of a smaller hearing over Knoedler’s…

Introduction When people think about Matisse's Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) or Picasso's Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon you can see how influential Paul Cézanne was in their work. The similarities between Cézanne's Large Bathers and those paintings is undeniable. However, both Picasso and Matisse had a unique style all their own showing that they were both inspired by Cézanne and also breaking free. Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso When Cézanne first appeared on the art scene at the end of the 19th…

This was my first visit to The Museum Of The City Of New York, a small museum dedicated to the history of NYC that includes a variety of exhibits. If you’re an out of town visitor with a taste for the history of the “Concrete Jungle” this is just the attraction for you.

As an individual migrating from the Dominican Republic this experience better helped me get a more intimate New Yorker experience. Upon…

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? Or should I…

handscroll is twenty feet long (14 in. x 37 ft. 5 1/8 in) as a result of the addition of more than a thousand years of seals and colophons that “offers a vivid testimony of the work's transmission and its impact on later generations” (The Metropolitan Museum of Art).
