The first art element that I feel is one of the most important to the artist pertaining to this painting is the use of line. There is an undefined, invisible vertical line that goes from left to right where the mountains meet the
In this assignment, I have chosen to analyze the two art pieces that I liked the most. The first is Hay Making, by Jules Bastien-Lepage, and the second is Thanatopsis, by Asher Brown Durand. Both pieces are take place in nature, and it is because of this that I enjoy them more so than others. To me being out in nature is
Every artist is different and that goes for the art too. Any piece of art looks different with the shape, style, color, or even smell sometimes. On a canvas, it could have similar brushstrokes and completely different. Also, the reason why they started to paint, either to make money, to gain status, or just for fun. Just like there is differences between artists Henrietta Johnson and John Smibert.
The lighting in Red Hills with Flowers is dim because dawn was approaching. One might feel like they could not walk or reach into this painting because they would not feel like it had the right space to do so. The lines are curved to shape the mountains and the center of the
It took Herd six months of digging and planting to recreate van Gogh's 1889 painting. The work is currently on display at the MIA. To copy the artist's iconic brushwork, Herd grew patches of pumpkins and squash. He grew watermelons and cantaloupes. He arranged mulch, rocks and soil to create darker lines, according to Nick Mafi at Architectural Digest.
The drawing depicts a setting which takes place at night. The rays of light emitted by the sun barely scrapes the sky. A river flows down, slightly to the right of the painting. A few bushes and shrubs grow around the arid desert, while large strands of grass flow with the wind around the river.
Seed by Linda Lynch resides on the 2nd floor of the El Paso Art Museum, El Paso, Texas. Positioned among more detailed works near a door leading to far older art, Seed stands out by its boldness of color and design. This 1993 work1 offers landscape, abstraction, social comment, and political statement in a seemingly simple painting. Discussing each of these aspects and topics directly related can potentially take hours but I will endeavor to keep it reigned in. The many facets of this painting are what called my attention and curiosity to it.
The sun beams from the sky are lighting up a small area of the painting and the rest is dark and gloomy. The gloominess of the painting represents dark and depressing times while the brightness of the sky creeps through thick dark clouds. This represents heaven because heaven is so large and bright and amazing that even though life is hard and seems like the world is ending, there is always something greater out there. Personally, I love this painting. I really like how Dore paints that trees and valley dark because it really highlights the beams from the sun.
This particular art piece, Farmers Nooning, was made in 1836, while Mount was 29. The painting somewhat broke the bounds of society through its message. The painting explains the daily life of civilians during the Jacksonian era. Within the artwork, the individuals either look exhausted or eager.
The dust across the mid ground of the painting contrasts against the blue and green hues of the top third of the painting. The detail of the drover on his horse in the foreground of the painting shows how Roberts can have intricate details whilst maintaining a soft and smooth stroke line. This interprets the theme of ‘The Bush’ by comparing it to Australia’s inner core landscape. The green from the trees is perched above and away from the earthy tones below. The perfectly blue sky shows a hope in the distance indicating the help the drover needs in this story.
The painting depicts what seems to be a panoramic view from afar but looking closely each aperture and objects make up the impressions of faces. From the left side there seems to be an aperture looking over a big cliff with branches of trees. This cliff and branches make up the face of an old person. The rock exposures within the cliff form the illusions of wrinkles, wrinkly lips and a long and untreated mustache. The branches give the effect of baldness, contributing to the overall appearance of an old man’s face.
The Amontillado: The Amontillado is a symbol of sin, specifically glutton. The Amontillado tempts Fortunato throughout the story, just like sin tempts people everyday. The Bells on Fortunato’s hat: The bells on Fortunato’s hat that jingle consistently throughout the tale symbolizes the passing of time as Fortunato and Montresor make their way deeper and deeper into the catacombs. The bells could also signify Fortunato’s approaching death, since bells were often used to signify someone dying in the past.
In the mural it shows the people in white and purple are raising and killing their own crops so that they can live off of their crops and live a long happy
Most people would expect the artists painting to be monopolized by one perspective of nature. However, the artist incorporates both the violent and beautiful sides of nature. The artist explained how “the long-necked lily-flower which, deep in both worlds, can be still as as a painting” (Hughes 22-24). The artist proves how the even if beauty is surrounded by negativity, nature 's beauty will not be consumed by its violence. Most people would also expect the artist to put an emphasis on nature 's violence, especially after the repeated mention of the violent parts of nature.
In the foreground, the head of a cow can be seen looking directly into a man’s eyes, most likely Chagall himself. Inside of the cow, a woman can be seen milking a smaller cow. In between the cow and the man, a town can be seen with a man walking on the street with a scythe. Below the town is a small sapling that is being held by a hand. The leaves are many different shapes including triangular, elliptical, and spherical.
