I personally liked the artworks “Mikhail,” and “Kamikaze” by Randy Kirskey. The paintings were a self portrait of Mikhail Baryshnikov and a Japanese kamikaze painted in oil on canvas. Both of their expressions of the figures were realistic. The background and the face of “Mikhail” was painted in teal while his body was painted in black to get the viewers focus on his face. The painting “Kamikaze” has a rising sun bandana on his forehead and a gun to tell the viewers that he is a Japanese…

gradually builds up its own ideas and painting ways: artists provide the most accurate record of what is seen using a quickly painted oil sketch; they adopt new techniques which were short and broken brushstrokes, pure unblended colors and effects of lights changing; also they have a unique ability to see the world freshly. (Stokstad p496) In the last thirty years of his life, Monet perfectly expressed his ideas and styles in his series of approximately 250 oil paintings—water lilies, his best…

On my visit, I encountered a painting created by Salvador Dali titled “Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea, which at Twenty Meters Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln”. Dali was born in Figueres, Spain in 1904 and was mainly a surrealist painter. This artwork was created around 1976 and it was painted using oil and collage on canvas. The style of this artwork would be considered surrealism, because of its irrational use of juxtaposition images. Dali’s painting also releases the…

with finger paints at Christmas time; the buttery feel of the paints, bright colors, let's say it was a sensual experience when she had no concept of what that was. As a teenager her first art champion was her father when he gave her a small box of oil pastels. From then on Raquel experimented with pencils, charcoal, watercolors on any kind of paper or art surface. That is when "being an artist" first became a conscious thought. That is when she entered the active phase of reading about and…

rejoice in life. This was amongst the last of Matisse’s oil paintings. He soon began making paper cut-out collages instead of working in paint, due to ill health. The French artist we now know as Henri Matisse did not originally intend to be an artist. He actually studied to become a lawyer! However, in 1889 he suffered a period of illness due to appendicitis. His mother bought him some art materials, to ‘pass…
