Contemporary art gallery

space between works are art, so the viewers are able to focus on the particular work of art. By spacing art on large blank walls, the museum guides the viewers to look at the significance of the artwork. According to Gilman, works of art, once they are put in museums, exist for one purpose only: to be looked at as things of beauty (Duncan, p.432). It allows visitors to look at a single image and contemplate the methods of creation, meaning, and message behind the work of art. The isolation of…

I never considered paintings to be the beginning of photography, nor have I ever considered rough sketches of city streets to be its humble beginnings either. I have never gone to an art museum and thought, “hm, maybe this artist was using some sort of camera obscura technique to help see an image clearer, or to see different angles of the image at the same time.” From now on, I will. It is an extremely innovative technique that has never once crossed my mind. Looking at the images in the power…

With one dramatic no, a major artist has just escalated the culture world’s war against Donald J. Trump. For more than 20 years, the artist Christo has worked tirelessly and spent $15 million of his own money to create a vast public artwork in Colorado that would draw thousands of tourists and rival the ambition of “The Gates,” the saffron transformation of Central Park that made him and Jeanne-Claude, his collaborator and wife, two of the most talked-about artists of their generation. But…

of the pieces ‘Built Environment’ made by James Castle and the piece ‘Evening at Kuerners’ made by Andrew Wyeth. Both artists have their own way of expressing themselves through their work. James Castle was amazingly creative with how he made his art. Each piece he made helped express himself since he was unable to do it himself. Any material that he found was the base of his artwork. Making his works seem to be almost childlike or unimportant at first look. Even the material he used to make…

to follow his passion for art. Both his masters Jacob van Swanenburch and later on Pieter Lastman were greatly known for their historical paintings. He mastered and perfected everything he was taught after six months. As a young master he then gained a more famously known student named Gerrit Dou. His wife was the reason for his commissions since she was the one that would contact him with patrons, people that would pay him to paint. He was more known for his religious art works since they were…

to fit in. I found my place of comfort through art, which enabled me to want to pursue a career in the art field. Art allowed me to break out my shell and gain a confidence that I didn’t know I had. Being an ametuer artist has already allowed me to grow and sculpt a future that is curated just for myself. Confidence is created when someone feels good on the inside and lets the entire world know. When I got a job, it was probably the most excited…

Circle with Towers by SolleWitt The University of Texas at Austin is a great place that actively promotes a diversity of art around campus. One of the art work that belongs to the Landmarks’ collection, is the concrete block structure Circle with Tower by LeWitt, with the Wall Drawing #520 inside the building. The public Art Program of The University of Texas at Austin has purchased this concrete block sculpture, which is called “Circle with Towers”, from the Madison Square Park Conservancy in…

Both artwork portrait is almost identical but different in their own way. As both have a similar gesture, position, and concept from the view of the painting. Different between both, is the background, the fame, the figure that in the portrait. The St. Matthew from the gospel book of Charlemagne (fig.10.13) presentation show that this is a portrait of roman painting because of the natural and solidity with inhabit the setting of the landscape. It also has a halo on the person who presume to be…

In Mark Rothko’s 1961 Orange, Red, Yellow abstract expressionist colour field artwork, displays the colours yellow, orange and red. The disembodied colours are piled up together creating this feeling of the colours hovering on the canvas. Orange, Red, Yellow by Mark Rothko evidently describes the abstract expressionist style. The media use of acrylic paint affected the style of the painting. The lack of form in Rothko’s painting can be evidently seen as Rothko painted three rectangular shapes…
