Breaking Home Ties Critical Analysis Breaking Home Ties is one of many paintings by Norman Rockwell. It was created in 1954 and since then has been a well known painting to artists and art critics. The detail in the scene and expression on the two men’s faces make this picture a true masterpiece. With the expressions on the characters, one can clearly tell there is a story behind this one framed moment. The man on the left looks over worked and rather numb in the face, while the younger…

The Dreamer seems brighter and happier than the other painting.…

Leonardo da Vinci was intellectually well-rounded and produced masterpieces of art, scientific investigation, and architecture throughout his long life. “Learning never exhausts the mind.” These are some of the wise words of Leonardo da Vinci.

Likewise, with the composition, the originality is yet another aspect that is…

The Eyes of the Ocean The sea, a luminous gray, spills across the bottom of the picture. The brooding sky, like an echo of the sea, spreads itself across the top portion of the photograph. Between the two of them, a town huddles in shadow. The viewer finds herself unable to look away from the photograph. There seems to be some dark truth in it. “Invisible Borders,” a color photograph by Mae Kelley, was taken from a boat about a mile off shore. The perspective captures a portion of the town that…
