great from their talents. There is no single talent when well used, cannot bring great returns to the individual.Most stars in the world have placed great work on their talents to reach where they are today. Major stars have talents in leadership, art, and athletics among others. Salvador Dali is one great painter over history that has shown surrealism through his artwork ‘the persistence of the memory.’ Surrealism was a cultural movement that started in the 1920s. Salvador Dali was born in 1931…

Raphael's The Alba Madonna depicts a variety of warm and cool colors throughout the painting. The blues and whites of the sky and river shows a deep contrast in temperature when comparing the warm pinks and oranges on the woman's dress. As Raphael started on the background, he outlined the mountain tops with light brush strokes and demonstrated the tactic of atmospheric perspective. When Raphael reached the top portion of his painting, the tint of the blue hues became lighter. As the viewer can…

Observing the displayed works of art within the Herb Ritts photography gallery at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston Massachusetts, one might take notice of inkjet-based printed photograph of a dark lonely night over a barren sandy landscape in New Mexico saturated in blue. This is because in the bottom center of the picture, there is a coiled and illuminated “hose-like” boalum lamp which is large and up-close, and this provides such a sharp visual contrast to everything in the environment…

painting was different. Was it the subject matter? Perhaps it was the unusual use of color. Paul Gauguin’s “Tahitian Women on the Beach” is a very complex piece of art. It took quite a bit of observation on my part to pin down exactly what caused such a strong reaction. I consider myself to be quite creative, but when it comes to art, I am at a loss. This painting features a Tahitian landscape with two women in it. The women are sitting on a beach with the ocean behind them. A dark, blue sky…

The painting I am doing a critique on is called Night Veil. Night Veil was created by Linda Mitchell in 2015. This piece of artwork was located at Northwest Florida State College. This piece of artwork is composed on a wood panel. I have always enjoyed artwork that is composed on pieces of wood. They give off a different type of vibe instead of a painting painted on a regular canvas. On this wood panel is a painting of a deer. This deer looks very peaceful. I enjoy looking at artwork that…

Postmodern artists challenge the conventions of art by applying many different artistic techniques such as appropriation and experimentalism. Postmodern artists reacted to the usual conventions of art by developing new ways of viewing what art might be. The postmodern artists aimed to react against the narrow boundaries of Modernism with special emphasis given to abstract and minimalist art. Appropriation often breaks the conventions or norms and regulations in art. Placing a well known image in…

things stopped being considered as art, is pretty much sprinkled throughout most of America’s art history and it is sadly at the end of European’s art history. So, for both America and Europe there was not a long period where things did not seem like art. For America, it was more a sprinkling of finding a sort of identity through the wreckage and for Europe it was more for a rebellion and change of heart after the war. I do not think it ever stopped not being art but it had sections to when I…

history museums that are used to define orthodox narrative or absolute classification. He innovatively constructs works of art using sculpture, drawings, sketchbooks and archival material that were previously unseen together. In Leviathan Elegy, Maclean’s intriguing box constructions apply found materials and form…

sudden increase in accessibility of university education and graduate degrees in fine arts in the mid 20th century. One such writer-artist was Dan Graham, who consistently published various written works related to his artistic production over more than four decades, tracing his journey through curation, performance, photography, video, installation and architecture. Graham’s work is based within conceptual art, an example of this being his ‘Schema’ (1966), which was a work he staged…
