of art, but what make me bring them together is one thing, there is always something can brighten your world. Both of them have their own story to tell and their story are different from each other, yet they both managed to go to the same ending. On Van Gogh’s side of the story, by using the darker side of color wheel, that represent the inner part of his fantasy. Adding the wave-like rapid flow of brush strokes, which show us that the inner part of his mind was in darkness. He can leave the…

The Hudson River School was a group of artists based in New York City in the mid 19th Century. Primarily known for painting landscapes, the group belonged to many of the same clubs and in 1858 many of them worked at the Studio Building on West 10th Street, the first building in New York City to be built primarily as a workplace for artists. Thomas Cole, considered to be the founder of the movement, was born in England in 1801 and emigrated to the United States in 1818. In 1825 he moved to New…

Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne differed greatly in style and did not present a clear, concise picture of the world, but they both found new ways of representing nature. The paintings "Rocks in the Forest" and "The Artist's Garden at Giverny" represent the artist's lives by their use of different shades of colors; however, they share rough, unfinished textures and both vertical and curved lines. "Rocks in the Forest" render the shapes with passages of subtly varied colors, such as green, blue,…

When researching Vanitas, I found that I really liked the paintings and pictures using flowers and animals alongside skulls. It represents life and beauty along with death. I found an artist called Harmen Steenwyck, who used mainly fruit and sometimes flowers in their work and I really like it. Steenwyck also uses skulls, old books, shells, with occasional animals and fish. Harmen Steenwyck, was a Dutch painter of still life, notably fruit. He was born in Delft, in 1612, in the Netherlands.…

The artwork that I have chosen to review is titled Butterfly String, painted in the year 1977 by abstract painter Leonard Contino, which is currently being exhibited among other modern pieces at the Dallas Museum of Art. Although abstract art may be at the bottom of my list when it comes to my preferred style of painting, when encountering artwork that intentionally removes any and all recognizable figures and themes from its composition I feel obligated to analyze the work on a deeper level in…

In Emily Carr’s oil on canvas painting, Big Raven, the painter designs a breathtaking image of a raven sitting on a hill. Although it is wrong to compare this piece to an Italian or Northern Renaissance painting as they have completely different styles, the lighting and composition used in Big Raven resemble the artwork of that period in respect to having a sense of three-dimensionality and realism. To accomplish such rendering, the use of a consistent light source in the scene is crucial to…

because the content makes you inquisitive about the changing sky. This painting makes me feel peaceful; like the calm after the storm. This composition reminds me of places I would like to travel in Germany, I love the old castles. The artist Jacob van Ruisdael oil painted this canvas, using more secondary hues to portray the landscape and the mood. The use of secondary hues makes the painting more bleak, dull, or somber. The artist adds emphasis to the focal point which is the Castle…

Leonardo de Vinci wanted to depict his art in the way our eye sees it in its natural environment. He was fascinated with the human eye and the painter’s depiction of light and shadows and felt they went hand in hand. For an artist to truly obtain the proper perspective of its object or subject it takes a great deal of practice (Dwight). What is the linear perspective to show the mathematically correct size of an object? What must the painter know to capture the effects of light and shadow on…

which would cause him to not be able to concentrate, or finish one project at a time. Despite this, and other struggles that Edgar went through, he was still as successful and as any other artist in the world of art. Edgar was not known like Picasso, Van Gogh, and Da Vinci, but is still known by people who have a passion, or love for art and that know more than the average person. Edgar will always be know as a great…

I think the scream is a great painting overall. I wanted to do Van Gogh’s Starry Night, but realized that wasn’t an option after reading the paper requirements since we looked at it in class. I was going to go for another Van Gogh painting, but when I looked up his name I found The Scream and went for that one. One thing that really brings the piece together is the lines. They definitely lead your eye all around the paper. You start focusing in on the face and then the blue lines of the river…
