Da Vinci and Young have painted their subject using similar but different artforms, styles, subject matters, and techniques. Da Vinci painted an oil portrait painting of Ginevra de Benci in Florence, Italy 1474 to possibly commemorate her young marriage to her husband at the age of 16. Young’s semi-abstract entry in the Archibald prize is an Acrylic and rosewater on ply portrait of Torah Bright, a champion Australian Snowboarder. Although these paintings are two very different styles (da Vinci – Traditional, Realistic; Young – Stylised, semi – abstract), they display a similar subject matter of a women looking very relaxed, yet posed. In da Vinci’s work, Ginevra de benci is looking away from the artist, keeps a sombre facial expression, hair perfectly curled, is dressed is quite modest traditional clothing, and is in the centre of attention, in front of a lake and tree background. In comparison…
Process-Analysis Ever since I was young, art has always been my niche, the one thing that truly defines me. Crayons, markers, finger paints, anything I could get a hold of to create something. I started creating and I never stopped, thanks to my encouraging parents and teachers. I did not get what I needed in my early years of school so started learning how to draw and paint on my own. I taught myself every tip, trick, and technique I could; desperately trying to learn how to better myself. I…
Yes Mattel had acted in a socially responsible and ethical manner with regards to the safety of its toys. Whereas he terminated several dozen suppliers for noncompliance and made numerous changes in its own plant. He also did a recall on the toys that were found panted with lead, which is stated to be a harmful neuro toxin and dangerous to children who ingested or swallow bits of the paint. Mattel could have implemented a strict safety checkpoint from the beginning. As such he could be able to…
surfaces we regularly come across are commonly painted. Despite being surrounded by paint however, it’s an artifact that can be easily overlooked. This relates to Andrew Feenburg, Martin Heidegger and Ed Levine’s beliefs regarding technology and art. Even when looking at artwork that’s painted, it’s easy to only consider the formal aspects of the medium or how the medium helps convey a concept. What does it mean to be disconnected from how paint is made or to be heedless of the effects it has…
Aficionado" by his peers and admirers, is an Australian, mostly self-taught artist who was born in 1969. While he went through formal schooling and training as an accountant, he began his full-time career as an artist in 2000 at thirty-one years old. By using oil, wax, and stained canvases, he focuses mainly in abstract paintings in solo and group exhibits that show emphasis on color and shape. Within these subcategories, Kolbusz deems his work as “expressionistic” and works to show contrast…
The painting appears to be glossy because it was painted using oil based paint. Brooke applied the paint thinly onto the composition. The oil paint then dried through a process called oxidization, which caused the paint to dry slowly and created a glossy effect onto the painting. “A Pastoral Visit.” is an oil on canvas painting.3 Therefore, the painting’s support, or surface in which the paint is painted on, is the 119.38cm x 167.16cm4 white canvas. The canvas was white because a layer of primer…
For the assessment of meaning and interpretation I chose to discuss about Paul Cezanne, Grand Bainuses, 1895-1906, oil on canvas, 52 x 81 inches, The Barnes Foundation, Marion, PA. I will be discussing what the painting portrays, the materials used for the painting, the form and context of the painting. I will also be discussing the coherence, correspondence, and completeness of the painting. The painting of Paul Cezanne subject matter portrays nudity, all the men and women in the oil…
I had to understand why Seurat used such a difficult technique for his work. I then came upon the theory that perhaps he wanted to produce a deeper sense of life in his paintings. All things in the world are composed of millions of cells, and these cells create objects, color, and everything that practically exists. I imagine that Seurat's motive was to utilize this scientific law in his work to give an atmosphere of life, texture, and movement in the scenes that he…
Leonid Afremov’s painting, Rain’s Rustle, oil paint is used to create scenery of a rainy night in a city. Towards the center of the picture, there is a couple holding an umbrella walking with their backs to the viewer down a pathway that has trees that form a canopy over it. There are street lights down the sides of the sidewalk. There is a large bench towards the bottom right of the painting that is on the sidewalk. In the panting, it is raining and there are puddles on the side walk. The…
2 Dimensional Art The two dimensional art that I observed is called Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes, created between 1623-25. The artist of this painting is Artemisia Gentileschi. This was a large painting that covered over half of the wall. This painting was created by using oil paint. Artists used oil paintings because it dries slowly, the colors are able to blend together, and lastly oil paintings allows the painting to be larger then what it normally would be. The…
