His mind wandered away, he the speaker looks up into the night 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…

Created by Vincent Van Gogh during the Post Impressionism movement, The Starry Night is one of Gogh’s most acclaimed paintings. His sheer brilliance of artistic talent is pleasantly conveyed to the viewer through a beautiful colour scheme and perfectly layered brushstrokes.

central focus of the forgery debacle. Lagrange’s lawyers at the Dontzin Law Firm made it clear that they did not care if Hammer was specified as a part of the lawsuit. Hammer also runs Manhattan’s Hammer Galleries and is chairman emeritus of the Hammer Museum in L.A. Hammer has information that could be relevant to their case, and Lagrange’s lawyers have tried multiple times to subpoena it. Plus, Hammer voluntarily submitted an affidavit in December as part of a smaller hearing over Knoedler’s…

Introduction When people think about Matisse's Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) or Picasso's Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon you can see how influential Paul Cézanne was in their work.

Whereas some colophons and marks of ownership are zealously placed on extended borders, others are added directly onto the painting.

This was my first visit to The Museum Of The City Of New York, a small museum dedicated to the history of NYC that includes a variety of exhibits. If you’re an out of town visitor with a taste for the history of the “Concrete Jungle” this is just the attraction for you.

As an individual migrating from the Dominican Republic this experience better helped me get a more intimate New Yorker experience. Upon…

An artwork that was influenced by Japonism “Bridge in the rain: after Hiroshige” by Van Gogh is an oil on canvas painting that was created in 1887 in Paris, France. This painting was strongly inspired by the original woodblock print by the Japanese artist, Utagawa Hiroshige, in 1857.
