504 Words3 Pages

I was pleasantly surprised when I first encountered Emily’s work which is mainly due to her charming and low-key personality. At that moment a question popped in my head. How can such deranged and sexual imagery come from someone seemingly so sweet? To see work that delicately delineated such charged interactions with figures that seem emotionally mute towards the chaos signaled thoughtful quirkiness. A thoughtfulness that submitted to the urge to present explicit actions but does not to get catch up in the inherit shock value but is committed to a larger aim of merging historical and contemporary atrocities with bold draftsmanship. We ended up working in close proximity, having regular discussions about our creative enterprises and sharing a studio. Throughout these interactions it became clear that researching topics including color, art history, and literature was a significant component of her artwork. As a studious artist I saw her pay close attention to the history to current practices of art from woodcuts of Albrecht Dürer to the color palette and depiction of figures in Nicole Eisenman’s work. Wisely, Emily applied insights she gained to resolve formal concerns and …show more content…

I actually met her during our month long stint as residents at the Vermont Studio Center (VSC). During her time she maintain a constructive balance of social interactions and focused studio time. She was very diligent in her studio as a result of executed a daily routine and goals within her work. Emily was also an insightful peer to have around; we conducted studio visits with each other and talked over meals in which we had informative conversations about our work and art in general. Ms. Campbell also utilized her time to collaborate with studio mates on a painting. Ever since our first encounter she has been an inspiration artistically and personally.

Whitney Chadwick writes about the history behind what artists do and why along with the influences on society. She looked at the art pieces that she chose and gave a well listed history on the subjects she chose. She tells the fact, not giving her emotions, but the truths of what it was that happened very plain. It is as if it just is what is and there is not joy or sorrow that it happened. She translates the meanings and has assumptions to why something was inspired and she gives them.

I sit on the edge of my seat, as I wait for my professor to explain the next bit of symbolism hidden in Jan Van Eyck’s, Ghent Altarpiece. To me, the silence of the classroom screams of suspense, even if, a few classmates are sleeping. Each detail painted or formed by the artist represents a conscious effort to communicate beyond words. Their work joins in the eternal quest to define a specific reality, to capture an ephemeral moment. I have never enjoyed a course more than my first art history course.

History only briefly documents personal experience, hence a real understanding of the individual’s emotions are not elucidated. Through the fine balance between both historical documentation and the individual’s experiences, the development of an accurate perception of past events is enabled. In Mark Baker’s literary memoir The Fiftieth Gate and director Clint Eastwood’s notable theatric narrative Flags of Our Fathers (2006), the daunting atrocities during World War II is represented through mosaics of distinctive personal stories, emphasised by the juxtaposition in the interpersonal relationships between tranquility and conflict. In doing so, both texts accomplish a common purpose of exploring the composer’s views of the past through carefully

While reading “The Trouble with (the Term) Art,” written by Carolyn Dean in the summer of 2006, we are taken through an array of different scenarios that lead us to questions what art really is. Dean explores the idea that the word “art” is used far too often and too habitually, and that as we study the non-Western cultures we need to use much more discretion regarding what we call the different pieces of their culture. Throughout the essay, Dean supports her thesis that we too often categorize non-Western pieces as art by using different examples of how certain non-art pieces were deemed as art throughout the course of their history. Dean does this by using four key examples of how these ancient pieces are inappropriately called art to successfully support her thesis and avoid biases.

To compare, Faulkner shares a slice of evidence as to why Emily has an uncontrollable obsession for the dead, “After her father 's death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all.” (Faulkner) Given these points, her father becomes arrogant and isolates her from society, or anyone who is willing to take Miss Emily from him. When her father, the only man in the world who has loved her,

‘Lot’s Wife’ and ‘Africa’ are poems depicting the effects of the abuse of power and how the forceful villains mistreat others due to their positions of ’ superiority and trust. ‘Lot’s Wife’ shows how under a tyrannous rule which holds no regard for personal emotions renders people either devoid of humanity, Lot, or devoid of life, Lot’s Wife. ‘Africa’ demonstrates the chaos and terror involved in invasion and how an overwhelming military force and covetousness can crush the magic and God out of a place. I will argue that both poems show how excessive force and violence can have a strong impact upon both people and places as they circumscribe emotion and obliterate the potential of a civilization. ‘Lot’s Wife’ indicates how unsettling and unnatural the presence of the harbingers of caustic rulers can be.

In contrast, in the book The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, Lori, Jeannette’s older sister became an artist. It was her childhood dream and she pursed it to the end. In contrast to my approach, Lori avidly strived to be an artist despite what others would say. “‘I’m only telling you this because I love you,” he said, (Lori’s father) “ And I don’t want to see you hurt’”

We grew up together, and were always competing and comparing ourselves to one another. So, when we talk now, old feelings can resurface and cloud my ability to take an objective stance in the interaction. Even now, as our relationship becomes more positive for me, I still begin any discussion with her on a superficial level. My inclination to hold back from discussing anything of substance, such as my feelings, with her is influenced by our history, less because of feeling judged, and more because Emily has always been the one in the family that does not talk about her feelings or communicate with anyone; I have always been the complete

“The pleasure which we derive from the representation of the present is due not only to the beauty with which it can be invested, but also to its essential quality of being present” (Baudelaire 793). Baudelaire’s theory of the flaneur written in The Painter of Modern Life is relevant today, most notably in the works of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Man of the Crowd and Charles Dickens Our Mutual Friend. The reading of the flanerie occurring within these narratives is the representation of urban experiences through the depiction of the landscape of London and an exploration of city street life. Our Mutual Friend captures the panoramic urban city with its people, incidents and the flaneur who observes and records reality objectively. "
