On Friday, October 2nd, I visited the Wittliff art collection at Texas State University. I was very excited at how much art I was going to see as I made my way to the 7th floor of the Alkek Library, which is where the Wittliff art collection is located in. Sadly, with all of the artwork that was displayed, I was having trouble deciding on which art pieces to write this critique on. However, two certain 2-D pieces caught my eye. Out of all of the displays in the art collection, I ended up choosing Keith Carter’s photograph and Kate Breakey’s painted photograph.
Howling Wolf and John Taylor both created amazing works of art. Most in particular would be The Treaty Signing at Medicine Lodge Creek. Both pieces portrayed similar content but the form and point of view was different. John Taylor was a journalist and Howling Wolf was the son of the Cheyenne Chief Eagle Head. Two men from very different cultures created images based on their knowledge of the event but in a style that represented their background.
Authors and artists are compared because, they express emotions, show a perspective and finally, they give of view of their personal life. To begin, authors and artists compare because of how they express emotions. In either books or a piece of art the people they express has their own emotions shown. In the novel Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, the main character is an
The works of art I chose to compare and contrast are Memento Mori, "To This Favour", 1879 by William Michael Harnett, and Bull Skull, Fruit, Pitcher, 1939 by Pablo Picasso. The symbolism behind these two paintings are very similar. There are also some similarities in the composition of these two paintings, but there are many differences in the composition of these two paintings. The first symbolic similarity is that these paintings have a meaning of death.
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.
Each sculpture shows the creativty between the two artist. The sculptures tells a story as well paints a picture. They both depicts the thrower about to release his discus. The torso shows the muscular description in motion from other sculptures. They show humanism which characteriz mankind of society.
On the other hand, even when they have a lot of differences they also many similar qualities. One example is that the titles are the exact same words, but different color and style of font “The New Yorker”. Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly image one of the twin towers has a peek at it and is slightly covering “New” in the title. In Goodrich image the flags on the taxi are covering
The fact that both artists were friends with their subjects would have affected the use of elements and principles in each of the portraits.
Throughout this semester as a class we have gone over many different terminology, seen many artists from all different countries and time periods. We have also learned about different kinds of art and media that the Artist work with. Over the entire semester I have gained a greater appreciation and understanding for art. Taking all of the new information that I learned this semester I choose three pieces of artwork from the St. Louis Art Museum. Two are similar to each other and the other is very different.
The two works of art I will be comparing art "Battle of Centaurs and Wild Beasts" found in chapter six page 198, and "Death and the Matron" found in chapter 22 page 689. These two works of art were created roughly 1400 years apart, these two pieces also both have connections to Germany, "Battle of Centaurs and Wild Beasts" is now housed in Berlin, and "Death and the Matron" was created by a German artist in a town located on the French, German, and Swiss border. Though at first glance these two works of art might appear to have two different subjects, upon further inspection they are similar not only in origin but also in content. Both of these are beautiful works of art that feature death and the main focus, the subject, of the art. "Battle
Response Paper 1 Justin Chau For my research paper, I am going to two about two types of art throughout certain time periods in history. What I am going to compare and differentiate are types of art within the Prehistoric time period, and the Roman time period. Within time periods in general, there are artworks that are relevant throughout their existing time period, and picked up later in future generations, where people can learn about their past cultures and various types of art. For the first time period, the Prehistoric period, it includes the Paleolithic culture and its art. It is divided into three parts.
