Naïve art

Rene Magritte’s The Therapeutist is an amazing piece of art. Rene used surrealism and some cubism to show that opening-up to others, and supporting them, can help set them free from their problems. This piece of artwork was completed in 1937. The painting protrays an image of a rusty metal bird cage, that is housing shelter for one white dove, and is holding up another on square wood plank on the outside of the cage door, which is sitting on a man’s lap. To add in, this man is holding a cane in…

Free music allows us to access any form of music through many legal sources without having to purchase a single album or song. Because of this, highly-recognized and even unknown musicians have stopped selling their music and are instead releasing their content to these free sites. This is because no one wishes to spend so much money on something that is easily accessible and free on the internet. Although, it may also be because they think that they will have a likelier chance of being…

Realism…one of the many aspects artists alike strive for when creating pieces of art. Personally, I’ve taken up many art classes during my time in high school and creating a piece that would give out that “wow” factor that every viewer hopes to experience whilst looking at a piece of art is quite difficult. Sculptors of the past wanted to achieve this very same effect when delivering their sculptures to the general public. During the period of Classical Greece and the Hellenistic period,…

Art is ag form of language that everybody can communicate and transfer information through it. It is always controversial to assign a definition to art. The definition of art may varies based on different time periods and cultures.

where simple drawings of simple life forms were used as the major subject (Yong-Jin, Kim 1¬¬¬¬). At the University Of Michigan Museum Of Art, Kim Yong-Jin’s Fourteen Fruit and Flower Sketches features fourteen intricate fruits and flowers, part of the “bird and flower painting” genre of Korean art that struck me with great fascination (besides my love for the nature art) because of how the painting mirrors the simplicity and complexity of life. In detail, the artwork served more than just a…

As we embark upon a journey, where two artists, only decades apart, contributed their finest pieces of art that forever added to the great collections of prodigious historical art. These two fine artists clearly display their true skill sets and artisanship in their paintings of themselves. Frida Kahlo, with her famous surreal self-portrait with a monkey and Judith Leyster, with her self portrait of her painting within the picture. Both self-portraits have many differences, but also have small…

I selected the Power Figure (Nkisi Nkondi) from The Brooklyn Museum’s Collections: Art of Africa. It was difficult to narrow the choice to only one. Each piece had so many eye catching elements. Each piece had its own story to tell and teach us about its history. The Nkisi Nkondi demanded my attention by the aggressive stature and glaring eyes. To fully appreciate this piece we need to learn its history. The Power Figure also known as Nkisi (in-KEE-see) Nkondi (in-CON-dee) came from the Kongo…

Traditional art has continued in Asia to this day, but rapid change has been taking place. In many countries across Asia, the problem artists are finding is getting rid of tradition and breaking out of that shell. While many are holding on strong to traditions like calligraphy, and Chinese porcelain ceramic making, others are finding a way to fuse the two together. Now artists are finding ways to use symbols and hints of traditional-based art forms to send political, economic, and…
