Van Gogh Museum

While attending an art museum called “The Metropolitan” in New York City, I discovered many interesting portraits, sculptures, and much more artwork of all times. One of the portraits that had caught my eye was called Spring Time by Pierre-Auguste Cot. He painted this portrait in 1873 and it was now found at The Metropolitan Museum. The material that was used is called oil on canvas, according to the tag that was placed by this painting. Unfortunately, the size of the painting was not listed on…

Truth ts very often stranger than fiction, and it is true but strange that my three favorite books are called “The Outsiders”. Chances are you did not escape high school without a reading of S. E Hinton’s “The Outsiders.” This bittersweet tale of borderline blue-collar youth struggling to survive in a bleak urban environment is haunting and strange. Some of the denimed protagonists are still in high school, where they fight with the upper-class “Soc” boys and reveal surprisingly sensitive…

In the late 19th century, the art world of the United States was primarily centered in the northeast, and as result, much of the art of that period contains imagery of or pertaining to this region of the country. Scenes of popular recreation were common as subject matter within paintings during this era, appearing in some of the most iconic American artist’s portfolios, and becoming representative of American painting in the 1870’s. Considering the works below, the three paintings contain nearly…

Impressionism Art Painting can be idealized as a big movement from the 19th century and flourish in France. The Impressionist has normal methods of insight about painting, in spite of the fact that their styles varied broadly. They manage to catch the transient impacts of light through painting in short strokes of immaculate shading. Impressionist concentrated on the emotional impacts of air and light on individuals and objects. Pop art can be idealized as astounding and questionable. They…

According to Kandinsky’s book Concerning the Spiritual in Art written in 1912, “music and art are the first and most sensitive spheres in which this spiritual revolution makes itself felt.” (Kandinsky, part 1, Section 3) Kandinsky correlates specific colors with definite emotions, such as blue, a heavenly color, while black is the color of grief that is hardly human (Fineberg, 94). Kandinsky links color and music in his book by saying, “Generally speaking, color is a power which directly…

and uniform techniques which he used as a way to reduce nature to simple forms, although at time he would purposefully distort objects in his paintings. Cézanne once stated that, “I want to make Impressionism solid and durable like the art of the museums.” Whereas Monet did not seem to care much about pleasing the art critics of the period focusing on his own artistic…

Botticelli painted the Primavera for Lorenzo and the most annoying part about this all is that it is not the Lorenzo that comes to all of our minds at first it is his cousin Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco. The art piece itself represents the renaissance in many ways, the use of perspective, the nature used as the background, and realistic people all throughout the painting. The art piece has a lot of inner messages making it much more interesting. For me when I found out the hidden messages throughout…

he Torment of Saint Anthony is the earliest known painting by Michelangelo, painted after an engraving by Martin Schongauer when he was only 12 or 13 years old.[1] It is currently in the permanent collection of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.[1][2] It shows the common medieval subject, included in the Golden Legend and other sources, of Saint Anthony being assailed in the desert by demons, whose temptations he resisted; the Temptation of St Anthony (or "Trial") is the more common…

(Fiero, 2011) In this paper, the life of Vincent van Gogh will be addressed up until the point of his demise. Within this discussion, one of the most recognizable paintings titled "The…
