Prehistoric art

Art during the 1800s represented reality and detail. Artists were concerned with the fine finishing and details of the subjects they painted. Salons had conservative juries who screened and approved artwork that could be displayed for the public. In Paris, artists like Édouard Manet and Claude Monet would begin to challenge the status quo of art during the1860s and 1870s. They influenced art in a movement that would be called impressionism. Impressionist wanted to capture the changes in…

In the Edo world view, the head is considered to symbolize a man's knowledge, authority, success, and family leadership. The burden of providing for his family and seeing them through times of trouble is often described as being "on his head." Each new king or “Oba” of the Nigerian kingdom of Benin memorialized his father with a portrait cast in brass, made by craftsmen of the brass fraternity. The oba is often called a "Great Head," accentuating the head of the living leader as having the…

Exhibitions are put into museums that differ by age, target audiences, content, national and regional orientations and just simply by ambition. The type or genre of a museum might be the significant difference that divides through all of the other variables: art museums, cultural history museums, and natural history museums have different explanations for their motives and completely different conceptions of how to use and present having different…

Art work neatly lines the being colored walls of a standard sized room in the University of Arizona’s Museum of Art. Hanging next to an oil painting of a vibrant rainbow gracing the sky of what could easily be downtown Tucson, is a piece of art work the elegantly displays the stark black wing of a plane gliding over a town or city that’s been brought to life with small dots of color. That piece of artwork is American Artist Yvonne Jacquette’s “Night Wing View 1”, a 15-color screenprint published…

Art museums have always been compared to older ceremonial monuments such as palaces and temples (Duncan, 1995, p. 242). Museums over the course of history have taken their architectural design ideas from the adorned designs of religious temples and palaces. This has been a long-standing practice of museums borrowing architectural forms from monumental ceremonial structures of the past (Duncan, p. 242). Museums adopted the grand embellishments of temples to show the importance of what was inside.…

Recently my grandparents came to visit me from Virginia, and when I said I needed to go the Burroughs and Chapin Art Museum for my Art Appreciation class they were more than happy to take me. I don’t really go there that often, and my grandparents had never been. Even though I had gone a few times before, it was a new experience for the both of us. Downstairs they had some really awesome exhibitions and it was very difficult to pick two pieces to write about. After a thorough examination, I…

I have taken several trips to the Philbrook since attending Rogers State University, however this is the first time I really looked closely at the grandeur of the museum.
