Edouard Manet was a painter born in the 17th century well-known for his impressionist work which was very rarely seen at the time. Today we will be talking about his piece 'Women at the Races' painted in 1865. History of the Painting 'Women at the Races' or 'Champs de Courses' was a piece painted by Manet in his late 30's in 1865. Just like the majority of Manet's other pieces, 'Women at the Races' was an impressionist piece. As well as this, it was an oil painting which was Manet's primary…

Preserve on Artwork The artwork that I chose to Preserve was "Gray Tree", because it caught my eye on the way it looked. The caption of "Gray Tree" is a simple way of explaining the artwork. "Gray Tree" Contour Lines are wavy and thick which bring out the form of a tree. I believe this was Piet Mondrian's goal to make it a simple and understandable painting. The caption of the artwork, the painting itself, and the colors he used to create the tree are simple. Value and Contrast come together in…

The final project of the semester pushed for creativity. Delving into my artistic past proved to be a challenge, as it’s been about three years since I last picked up a pencil for fun. The process began with the search for inspiration; at first a window scene and then a simplistic everyday design. For this project, I completed two paintings, but will only discuss the one I presented, which I call “New York Blues”. The first attempt at a painting rendered a window with a flower box. The image…

life. Anne Sexton shows just that in her poem The Starry Night. Reaching out to readers with profound meaning, the writer expresses battling thoughts of suicide as a lonely woman seeking to be accepted. The title comes from the famous painting by Vincent Van Gogh “Starry Night.” Van Gogh was a disturbed and mistreated artist just as Anne Sexton was. The poet stresses and supports that she feels depressed and is yearning for death. Also, how there is nothing more that she needs to be exposed…

When looking at a sunset, we do not see it as a detailed, quantifiable object but rather as a being or a face that evokes various inexplicable emotions within us with its constantly changing and fluid expressions. It is difficult to understand how the varying hues of colour and light, the radiance of the sky and its transition into velvety darkness which softens the surrounding landscape, can induce such a surging up of emotion and how it has the power to alter our mood. Although every sunset is…

Vincent van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853. He was born in Groot-Zundert, Holland. “He was named after his grandfather and stillborn brother who died a year earlier than Van Gogh’s birth” (Riter). He was the oldest child of Theodorus van Gogh, which was a pastor in the Dutch Reformed Community, and his mother was Anna Cornelia Carbentus. Gogh grew up in a very religious family, and his father was a very strict man. “His father was a quiet, dignified, ordinary man, from whom Gogh inherited…

There are many similarities and differences between the paintings “Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh and “Night Hawk” by Edward Hopper. The details due to the color can really make up a painting Shading and brush strokes can also make a big difference; it could be in the symmetry component. Realistic, 3D feel or design, and contrast in color are many details that you look for in a painting. These components can totally make different paintings. Transporting into a painting is a great quality…

The image I analyzed was one of Van Gogh’s most famous, “Starry Night” This painting was created in 1889. The image itself is an oil painting, and is currently located at the Museum of Modern art in New York City. This is image is the view from Van Gogh’s room at an asylum he put himself into and was painted from memory afterwards. At first glance this image automatically creates a sense of calmness. With its dark warm colors and the seemingly flowing lines that create the image itself. This…
