the Modern Art period, Chuck Close created a 100 x 84 in. painting called Lucas I. It depicts fellow artist Lucas Samarasdepicts. The elements of design in this piece are color and shape. Up close the color in this painting is very different than if you were looking at it from a distance. From the look of the man’s face and the overall color and impression that it gives me, it gives a neutral or slight serious feeling to it. The colors are dark and cool and a color in the piece of art that…

He the "speaker" describes that while he is sitting there listening to a lecture of astronomer. He sees the evidence and accurate information on the columns before his eyes, as the diagrams and charts that he has to have analyzed mathematically. At the end of the astronomer lecture, everyone in the room applauded the astronomer. While he the speaker goes to the lecture room because he started, feeling exhausted and worn out. His mind wandered away, he the speaker looks up into the night sky…

The painting I am doing a critique on is called Night Veil. Night Veil was created by Linda Mitchell in 2015. This piece of artwork was located at Northwest Florida State College. This piece of artwork is composed on a wood panel. I have always enjoyed artwork that is composed on pieces of wood. They give off a different type of vibe instead of a painting painted on a regular canvas. On this wood panel is a painting of a deer. This deer looks very peaceful. I enjoy looking at artwork that…

overcome his illness is reflected in the dimness of the night sky.The village is painted with dark colours but the brightly lit windows create a sense of comfort.” (ArtbleMy personal interpretation of the painting is that Van Gogh was trying to create a stark contrast between the beauty of life and the sad passage that is death. He has purposefully used a much more luminous setting for the sky implying life and a darker setting for the village below evidently implying death. The canvas to some ,…

OH-Knoe-dler! New York’s oldest art gallery, Knoedler & Company, made $80 million selling fake paintings over the course of fifteen years. The fraud consisted of a huge network of individuals to sell their fakes. A shady art dealer named Glafira Rosales provided Knoedler with forged paintings until she was arrested for tax evasion. She commissioned paintings from a man in New York and flipped them to the gallery as original paintings by famous abstract expressionist artists. The Knoedler Gallery…

breaking free. Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso When Cézanne first appeared on the art scene at the end of the 19th century, the art world was ready for a change. Modern art was bringing new techniques and subject matter to art patrons and Cézanne was a connecting point between the Impressionists and the Cubists. Cézanne sought to show the world as it was and this meant that unlike the great masters before him, many of the rules of art would have to be bent. Unlike more realistic painting in the…

742–756), a leading horse painter of the Tang dynasty (唐618–907). To Grace Glueck of The New York Times, Night-Shining White is “one of the most appealing animals in Chinese art” (Glueck, 1997). This painting reveals a window to reach a further understanding of Chinese culture, as it points out the socio-political role that art played through the ages, and still influences the mindset of these people. Subspecies of the Asian wild horse are a native of the steppes of Central Asia. Nomadic horse…

This was my first visit to The Museum Of The City Of New York, a small museum dedicated to the history of NYC that includes a variety of exhibits. If you’re an out of town visitor with a taste for the history of the “Concrete Jungle” this is just the attraction for you. You’ll find that your experience here is not only educating but it’s very welcoming. As an individual migrating from the Dominican Republic this experience better helped me get a more intimate New Yorker experience. Upon…

An artwork that was influenced by Japonism “Bridge in the rain: after Hiroshige” by Van Gogh is an oil on canvas painting that was created in 1887 in Paris, France. This painting was strongly inspired by the original woodblock print by the Japanese artist, Utagawa Hiroshige, in 1857. By comparing the two works, we can see that the colours Van Gogh are more intense which creates a contrast with the colours of the original print. To recreate the falling rain seen on the print, Van Gogh used a…
