illustrations of “eccentric eroticism”. His works had no “proportion and perspective”, rather just curved lines in black and white. While with the Art Nouveau disappeared, his works were unpopular until 1966. In 1966, he created an illustration for the Beatles’ CD cover called Revolver, which was an innovation in this area because before him the CD covers were photographic portraits bands or singers.

the humanities. The fact that the textbook we use in class is titled The Art of Being Human doesn’t surprise me whatsoever. The art that could fall into the study of the humanities does so much more than simply appeal to the eye. The humanities have the opportunity to share ideas, teach, and share emotions to the masses through so many different forms. That’s why the humanities are so relevant to people. The humanities cover themes that directly relate to people: love, religion, happiness,…

dimensions: 180 cm × 220 cm (70.9 in × 86.6 in). Matisse was born in 1869, and his art-work created by oil canvas in dining room. Matisse's work of art shows a red room, with a table tuning, a woman next to the table and a window in the left and top of that painting. His painting looks like effect, which means that there isn’t centric dots in his work of art. Also, all his movement with color.

Lizette Fernandez de Lara For the cover of Marilyn Stokstad’s latest edition art history textbook, I would choose Gustave Caillebotte’s painting: Paris, Rainy Day. I believe this painting best represents the traditions of our history and culture through its style and subject matter, while still being reminiscent to classical art from periods such as the Renaissance. The painting, belonging to the Impressionist movement, defines the beginning of modern art by depicting a subject matter unlike…

The Art of Listening Reproduction of originals is a quality that exists in all facets of life. Much of what is created lacks originality, instead, it is a reproduction or reinterpretation of a previous original idea. In Jeff Turrentine essay Why Some Covers Disappoint, he attempts to dissect what makes a good cover song, seeking to find answers about why some ‘copies’ are less impressive than the original. Paul McCartney’s album of covers “Kisses on the Bottom” which Turrentine dismisses as a…

As my great work of art that inspired many other parodies I choose American Gothic by Grant Wood. The painting is one of the most recognizable and even people who do not know of the original will probably recognize one of the many versions of this painting. I think this is a great work of art for the simple fact that so much is going on in such a simple picture. The expressions on the faces and the posture they have. What are they thinking, why are they not both staring at the artist painting…

What is art and why is this question important? The question seems more suited to the topic of philosophy than of art, yet that does not mean philosophy has any easy answer to this seemingly simple question. Rather, one of the consequences of studying philosophy is in the realization that the simplest questions are often the most difficult to answer. Philosophy may offer a foundation for our most treasured beliefs but it also shows us how little we actually know. The Delphic oracle declared…
