The memories in the mind are extremely difficult to delete unlike the ease of pressing a button on a camera. Erasing the ugly, unfocused, and poor captured photographs from our mind is an…

of a moment in time and transcend to a "deeper level" of artistic understanding. Momaday makes these claims when discussing the work of renowned photographer Edward S. Curtis, who spent his lifetime perfecting the art of photography while capturing images of Native Americans. Upon examining Edward S. Curtis's photographic work and the effects of photography on American culture, one can clearly see that Momaday's claims of photography carrying not just a medial…

People say pictures are worth a thousand words, and I would definitely agree. A picture can tell a story without actually saying anything, and when I look at the picture I chose to write my visual analysis on, so many memories and emotions come to mind. At first glance, the picture just looks like an action shot of a volleyball player setting a ball to another volleyball plyer on the court, but when I look closely at, every detail brings back memories and emotions. To most people, the picture I…

Products of America Go Crazy” is a photo exhibition recently installed at Pratt Institute featuring the works of artists Lucas Blalock, Owen Kydd, and John Lehr. These photographers celebrate, as the name suggest, the pure products of America in their images; they find beauty in banal objects that represent the residue of a pursuit of American living.

Throughout this reading, Atkins focuses on Frans Hals’s artistic execution of roughness in his art pieces. He points out that Hals’s artistic virtuosity is displayed through the sketchiness of his painting, the connection between him and previous famed painters, and the unique method he employed. Further, Atkins argues that many of Hals’s sitters are “virtuosi-liefhebbers”, meaning knowledgeable lovers of art. Through Hals’s rough brushwork, his sitters were shown refined and cultured. Also,…
