Furthermore, compostition which is the arrangement and placement of the objects in art in order to create a meaning for the art piece. The way most of Morandi’s still life art pieces are either drawn from the perspective of looking from above or from the front. But the Natura Morta 1953 is drawn from the front and a little of the above perspective, which also enables us to see the shade on the objects from the top and tell which of the objects has a lid and which one doesn’t. Like the sup/bowl and the vase don’t have a lid however the boxes are closed from all the visible sides. The objects are also very balanced. By this I mean that they are laying in the centre of the canvas, rather than on the right side, left side,corner or any other. By looking at the objects,especially at the boxes which are brown (the one on the left-most and the other one on the right-most sides) you can see the brushstrokes. After Morandi used this kind of technique, it became an essential part compostions. It then showed that still life pieces don’t have to have smooth surfaces and perfect/equally distributed amount of paint. Since the more important part of this kind of technique was the quality and the humblesness. Reflecting on the inspirations Giogio Morandi got by Cubism and Futurism, he created his own style of still life which is counted …show more content…

The objects that are visible on this painting are: garlic, a glass of water, a coffee pot and other small branches of some plants. The fact that Chardin usually paints the main objects on a dark shaded background, usually painted with brown and then tinted with red or green, is also visible in this artwork.

The painting is oil on canvas and contains an extensive amount of contrast. For example, the bright vermillion blanket against the dull eggshell colored door.

The painting depicts several homes, power lines with foliage growing up them, and a blue sky with white clouds. The use of oil works to Kroutel’s benefit in his use of it in this painting in particular, due to the both naturalism and abstractism pieces used. For example, the houses at the bottom of the artwork are not detail-oriented per se, but there is a very real sense to them, as if the viewer would be able to see houses similar to these walking down any street in Athens. On the contrary, the sky is painted in a very thick manner, with the brushstrokes left clearly visible. While in some cases, repetition works to create a pattern, in the case of Athens County/Vines,

I chose to write about Jim Germaux’s Parallel Play because it evokes beauty in a unique way using pattern, line, and color Germaux’s Parallel Play exemplifies beauty through eye-catching pattern. Each piece of this collection uses an arrangement of circles in a manner that is organized and yet spontaneous. The location of each circle is unpredictable, but the way the Germaux arranges the circles in his painting, side-by-side in no particular order, creates a sense of movement and playfulness that is attractive to the viewer’s eye. The viewer is drawn in by the mass quantity of these circles and is then challenged to look upon the spontaneity of the arrangement, and to try to find familiar patterns within. Germaux is making the viewer move his or her eyes over the circle pattern in several directions creating a commotion that pulls the viewer into the composition in such an effective way that is beautiful.

The artist uses negative and positive spaces to create depth and space within the painting. As I stare at the painting, the first thing I notice is how the artist uses light and dark to create balance. Further, above the corpse is a lantern that reflects light more on the right side as it creates shadows on the other side because of its position which gives the painting a more of a chiaroscuro setting. The different shades help the painting become more

This helps to create a close up look at the view outside the window suggesting the intimacy between the artist and the habitat outside. This is because the focus is almost wholly given to the view outside the window. The view, which is embellished by the presence of flowers sitting on the windowsill, and creepers climbing on the railing, is located in the center of the composition. Despite the lack of a line of symmetry and any logic or geometric order, Matisse has been able to draw the attention of the viewer’s eye through the use of bright colours, almost fluorescent, which were used to portray the calm sea with its floating blue boats, and the sky tinted with the colours of the sunset. The calm sea at the horizon is painted with unreal tones of pink, sky blue, and violet whereas the boat, painted with tones of indigo, orange and green, seem to move along with the light breeze.
