Style Goya was a Romantic painter; these unique artists aimed to break free from traditional rules and selected their own subjects. Romantic painters were independent of the social order and distinguished themselves from European culture as Goya did. These artists including Goya set out to grasp the moment of tragedy and combat. Goya excelled in the late Baroque and Rococo styles in his youth, but never entirely incorporated the influence of Neo-Classicism, (attributed from the influence of…

The photo I decided to write about is one of the still life photo I call “Oranges and Orange Things”. I specifically chose this picture based on objects in the picture and how they all compile together based on their shape and mass. In this photo, I will be talking about three elements of composition: form/shape, color, and space. Within this photo, each item has a series of geometric shapes—mostly comprising of rectangles in the soaps and dryer sheets as well as circular in the tide…

stand out from the background. The presence of the building plays a crucial role in the landscape of the neighbourhood. To be specific, when being viewed straight, the retro vibe of this construction makes a complete difference to a bunch of typical modern skyscrapers at the back. However, this design is a perfect complement to the picturesque Bryant Park below when it is observed from high above. One of the important factors that harmonise this building with the surrounding area is the…

Henri Rousseau was a French post impressionist painter. He was given the nickname Le Douanier due to a job that he had during 1871-1983, he was working at the Paris Customs office. Rousseau was serving his country during his time in the Army prior to his artistic career. In 1893 he had retired, and decided to focus on painting and making it his number one priority. By giving his full attention to painting he was opening up new doors to the artistic world. Henri Rousseau decided to follow a…

lucidity. Matisse is often compared to Picasso, but when brought to my attention, I saw strong differences. Those including major contrasts in their artistic style. Matisse’s work was always based off of tradition whereas Pablo Picasso was a more modern artist. Not only did Matisse abide strongly to tradition, his art seemed to come effortlessly with a much less restless and slightly ironic approach compared to Pablo Picasso. Now when I apply Motherwell's quote to Matisse’s work, it hits me from…

styles, so do artists. Thus, the opening of the Museum of Modern Art affected the United States by making modern art accessible to the general public, by creating a place exclusively devoted to showcasing modern art, and as a result, inspiring and influencing American modern artists. Primarily, the Museum of Modern Art was important to the U.S. because it stood as a place where the American masses could view modern art. This was the very first modern art museum to open in the United States—it…

All of his works and his research established him as one of the 20th-century thinkers in the means of color. Jessica Leigh Lebos, a writer for Connect Savannah, illustrates, “[Cruz-Diez is] considered one of the most influential color theorist in modern times,” she goes on to say, “[he] spent more than 50 years delving into subjective nature of color itself—and how its perception is far from static.” SCADMoA explains, “[his] research has contributed to a new way of understanding color phenomena…

Jesse Treece is an artist that creates various photomontage collages into unique compositions. He does this by incorporating distinct photographic scenes into one. “Long Walks On The Beach” is one good example in which he created a collage of two separate scenes in one picture. In this art work, the image portrays two people walking on the beach, but the sky appears to be an image of a planet. “Discoface” is another interesting collage of his because he created the composition out of three or…

Folklore Center that was documenting hip hop dance as a folklore. The center hired a group of teenagers me included to visit schools and talk to students about the goals of the program. When I got paid, I realised that I could actually dance for a living, and for that reason I decided to explore hip hop. So I formed a group called the Step masters after joining high school. We were well-known for stepping. I did this for three years before forming a popping group called the Magnificent Force.…

It is clear, the inspiration Matisse and Picasso both got from Cezanne in these specific works. All three of these works feature the naked human form in some sort of action with others, a lot of color. In The Large Bathers you find a group of nude people, framed by large looming trees in front of a large water source. It is pretty PG for a nude painting, not being vulgar or coming across in a sexual manner. The subjects are all fairly realistic in body formation and postures and are sized in…
