Upon visiting the Huntsville Museum of Art, I was very surprised to find all of the tremendous galleries that were currently up at the museum. In addition, after exploring the entire museum there was one gallery that really intrigued me, and this was the gallery of Antoine Ponchin and his son Jos. Henri Ponchin. What made the Ponchin gallery so interesting to me was both the father and the son were landscape artist. Moreover, both Ponchins travelled to many locations to paint magnificent pictures. Choosing a picture to paint about from this gallery was a challenge for me mainly because both Antoine and Jos.
The appealing factor of this paintings comes from its message and juxtaposition of colours and stroke
Over in the middle of the painting, there is a more pronounced aperture looking over a waterway and rocks. The outline of the aperture makes up the shape of the face, the woman sitting down looking over the other way forms the mouth and nose of the face and the rocks at the distance form the eyes. All these objects clearly form the face of adolescence. Over on the right side there is a smaller aperture looking over the shore and what seems to be a woman on her knees. The figure of
The woman gazes directly at the viewer with a serene and confident expression, and her hands rest on her hips in a gesture of power and authority. The background of the painting is a bright blue color, which contrasts with the woman's red dress and draws attention to her figure. The painting is notable for its use of vibrant colors and flattened forms, which create a striking and visually arresting image.

Roman ruins in Spain!?!? Who would have known that there would be Roman ruins in Spain? Well let me take you back in time. The Roman Empire controlled Spain for more than 700 years. During that time they brought forth many buildings that is still standing today that is why I believe Spain is a wonderful country to visit in order to see Roman ruins that had been preserved including the Alhambra, its history, and its culturally rich cities.
These ideals about gender are described in every part of the story. In the beginning, while the boys gather stones, the girls sit idly by and chat. When the adults arrive, the men discuss economics while the women “[exchange] a bit of gossip” (Jackson). These interactions represent pervasive ideas about the gender roles that structure society. When it comes time to begin the drawing, patriarchs represent families.

The woman from far away appears to be mostly white – blank even. However, upon further inspection, it can be seen that the woman’s skin is actually a blend of a multitude of colors – pinks, yellows, purples, etc. softly define the woman’s features. This artistic choice is representative of the idea that while in the grand scheme of the universe, the view from “far away”, life is meaningless – it should be bland. However, up close, it can be seen that life is actually full of color as each human being creates their own values and perceptions on life. This concept parallels the metaphor of Sisyphus, found in Albert Camus’ “The Myth of Sisyphus,” in that, if one were to view Sisyphus from a distance, they would only see his efforts to roll his rock as torturous.
Even the woman’s frame and posture seem to follow the lines created by the railings of the viewing box. The railings are also implied lines, the first thing our eyes go to is the woman, and then we follow the railings to the man who has his gaze set on the woman. The man’s gaze gives us implied lines that lead us back to the main focus of the painting, the woman. The artist also uses light and dark to guide our eyes to the important parts of the artwork. Most of the artwork is dark, while the woman and the man looking at her are in the light.
In art, color is very personal and subjective, and gives different meaning to different people. However, in this Van Gogh piece, it is clear what the colors are used for. The blue found in the man’s overalls suggests uneasiness, melancholy and distress. Blue is unanimously associated with sorrow, and it is clear that in this piece, the subject is suffering immensely. The color is used to compliment the feelings the audience perceives from this artwork.
The Focal Point of the painting would be the three people at the table but mainly the woman and man sitting across from each other. There is no unity or variety that appears in the artwork. The artwork is in proportion. There is no movement in the picture considering the people are sitting down at the table. There is no rhythm or pattern in the artwork that is involved.
The “Mona Lisa” is the best known and most visited piece of art. It is a portrait painting done by Leonardo de Vinci. The portrait is an oil painting on a white Lombardy poplar panel.
