The artists I chose to compare and analyze are Hung Liu and Guillermo Gomez-Pena. These two artists specifically stuck out to me on this list because of the cultural nature of their work. I saw a lot of different faces and portraits as I was browsing each artist, but these two especially caught my eye. I believe they stood out to me in such a way because both of their works are extremely vibrant. While a lot of the other work involved observation from a distance, these two artists almost…

After having been exposed to many new, distinct artists and art forms over the course of a semester, all of whom introduced me to ways of creating that I would never have considered or examined on my own, I have chosen to discuss the three whose work intrigues me the most: Kara Walker, William Kentridge, and Louise Despont. Each of their styles is unique, focusing on different messages and/or themes in different mediums, but all are artistic standouts. Kara Walker is an American artist holding…

The art is a one of the method to express an idea. In this essay, I found two artists which direct my attention to their masterpieces. Initially, I liked both of them which make me ask questions along with starting a lot of research in order to find the meaning about “why they are choosing to do this specifically type of artwork”. This is just the beginning, what comes next will really please you. For me, the first amazing artwork is made by the artist John William Waterhouse. He was born in…

According to William H. Gass, the concepts of beauty and morality are two unrelated concepts. Gass conjures the scene of a dinner party to prove his point with a myriad of characters and situations behind each action or object at the party. He claims that if the quail were to be unethically shot by a machine gun from a plane, it would be completely unrelated to if that quail were to be cooked badly. He also draws the example that the presence of a field marshal could not sour the wine. The…

Intro The purpose of this paper is to state the definitions and establish my opinions on the following topics: PCC’s definition of art, the bibliosophy of art, and Dr. Francis Schaeffer’s criteria for art.

The career of Robert Smithson resists categorization. Although he is arguably best known for Spiral Jetty (1970), his writings, photography, drawings, architectural work, and other earthworks have each played an important role in art history, particularly since his 1973 death in an airplane crash while photographing his earthwork Amarillo Ramp. The inability to easily define and understand the work of Robert Smithson extends, on a smaller scale, to the complexities of some of his individual…

The Singing Butler as Seen by a Novice Art is said to be in the eye of the beholder. That sentence forces the notion that anything can be considered art depending on the viewer’s belief as to what is artistic. However, the people who sit at the epicenter of the art world: would have the masses believe that only they can determine if something is truly art. With those conflicting notions it is left to every patron of the art world to determine the artistic worth of every individual piece as each…

Trophies can have different meanings for certain people, but with me a trophy symbolizes my long journey to get where I am today. Each trophy can tell its own story, and that is something so unique…
