Art Letter POU - Music of the Woods by Vladimir Kush. Dear Auntie Katie, I am writing to tell you, as you are a great art enthusiast, about an amazing artist I have discovered. His name is Vladimir Kush, and he is a surrealism painter and sculpture. The paintings are amazing! When I first set gaze upon these paintings, I saw either an ordinary picture or nature. But as I looked closer, I discovered they weren't what they really seemed to be. In one of the pictures, I saw an old fashioned record player lying in the bushes. But what it turned out to be was quite astonishing. In the foreground there was a logged tree base which acted as the disk. A long bright red flower rose up from the ground next to the log and formed the shape of the amplifier. A long flower also rises from the ground, this time from the left, but has a light bulb on the end as it curls over just above the log. And finally what you think is the needle is actually a humming bird resting its beak of the stump. The background is harsh forest of tall grass, bushes and leaves all coming together to form the perfect backdrop for the main items to blend in. The reason for this is that if the background had have been a table we would have noticed it instantly, but because of the smart positioning of of the main features in a good background, Vladimir has been able to …show more content…

The texture has been used in such a way as to create a vivid piece of artwork that makes the main features blend in, but also stand out at the same time. The texture makes the main features almost look as though they could almost be the real thing, but also make them look part of the picture as a whole. The colour is used very well in this artwork. The colours at the back and corners are darker, more brown, while the colours in the foreground, and on the main items of the picture, are much brighter and vivid. This draws your eyes to the photo and makes it an overall better

This is most evident in the trees in the foreground. The colours Preston has used are tertiary colours, most of which are cool and earth-toned and the colour scheme is monochromatic to give it a neutralised and dull effect, highlighting the title, Grey day in the ranges. Preston has used tone in many ways to create depth, to contrast, to give texture, to add variety and to create the illusion of form. The texture that is created is both visual, as you get the impression of it being there but you cannot actually feel it, you can only see it, and simulated, as Preston has tried to copy the textures

The colors in the photo are cool tones and are triadic colors from each other, giving the photograph a calming feel to the viewer’s emotions. The general aspect of the curved lines on the Buddha face and clothes also makes the photograph easy to view for the viewer

When walking in to the Dotted Dialogues exhibit, I went in with an ignorant mind and misunderstanding of what the paintings truly meant and stood for. While attending the exhibit I learned that the tribespeople saw the world from a different perspective than anyone else. Rather than seeing it from straight on and as a landscape, they saw it from a bird’s eye view; seeing mountains as ovals, and trails as branched, connected lines. These paintings were made from hundreds to thousands of dots painted on to a solid color backboard and creatively formed into an image. “All this artwork is grounded in ancestral religious stories,” said Françoise Dussart, the well-known and prestigious professor of anthropology, also the curator of the exhibit.

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.

In this regard, the painting seems to be bottom-heavy, with more density along the bottom half. The largest occurrence of color is near the bottom center: a sort of baby blue cloud that appears to be behind the black lines. It is very splotchy but when one looks closer, there is also a stripy or scratchy vertical pattern in the blue, suggesting the blue was applied in certain areas and then brushed or scraped off vertically to expand it, a technique Bleckner often used, letting some white peak through in the form of lines. Along the bottom edge, square-shaped blurry purple-brown forms appear, evenly spaced, creating a ground, base or frame for the entire image. Other splotches of color are treated in the same way as the blue ‘cloud’ but smaller and more concentrated.

The warmth and richness of the colors makes the viewer feel at ease. The contrast of the warm reds/browns and crisp blue hues with the white marble focuses the viewers onto the statue. The angle of the photo helps the viewer to focus onto the apartment buildings in the background. The viewer does a double take and questions where this photo was taken when the foreground and background are viewed together. The mixture of east and west in a diverse neighborhood is really cool and can be used to make political comments fairly easily.

During the 1850s it was the golden age in the art of photography; artist showed their great vision and skills to produce a colourful, large and richly prints for their selected artists or wealthy patrons. By the 1860s was industrialization of the French Photography, artist where the artist undertook ambitious subjects. Brothers Olympe and Onesipe Aguado photographs were mostly art work which consists of distinguished and wealthy people. The two brothers approached the photography practice in an indifferent way and outside of any normative prescriptive framework. The diversity of their work has measured to an extent of subjects they’ve confronted such as; reproduction of work of arts, dramatized portraits and vibrant scenes, pastoral scenes,

This painting is very pale and suave. Rothko is known for being a very important painter who used color field painting as one of his techniques. The painting is very pale, and very similar shades of colors are used. It is different from action painting because in this case there is no presence of the artist in the painting, and it is very bland but at the same time unique. If you scroll the eye from the top down to the bottom, you will get an idea of serenity and that there is not really a lot going on.

If the actual tale is lost in the landscape, the latter has acquired expressive and symbolic power. A technique which is prevalent in all of Rembrandt’s landscapes and visible again in Stormy Landscape (1639)(fig. II). The contrast between the receding storm, which plunges nature into darkness as it goes, and the still pale and ghostly light which streams out of the clouds creates an apocalyptic feeling. These landscapes have small elements of Biblical painting as well as appealing to our subconscious through the compositional

This kind of work at first will fill you with sort of confusion, so you have to read it by your eyes and your mind too. To be in the right track both of my chosen art works look like the same if you see it from the eyes of an artist. My first time seeing it, I was confused about how this mess became an art work that has been taught in our college level, but I realized lately that it is a real piece of real work. Mixing color is not easy as everyone thinks, it is asking for high taste and good quality art skills to finish up with this finial picture of

A varied balance between the symbolic and realism has been struck world over by the painting. In the fifteenth century Western painting began to turn from its age- old concern with spiritual realities towards an effort to combine this spiritual expression with as complete an imitation as possible of the outside

The Post- Impressionist period follows the Impressionist period by splitting artist into two sides. Some artist felt that the artwork during the Impressionist period may have been too sketchy and lacked formal structure (Frank, 2014). Still, other artist thought there was too much emphasis on objective observations, which caused a lack of personal expression and spiritual content (Frank, 2014). To examine both types of art methods, I choose an example of both kinds of artwork, which are displayed in the same organization, the Art Institute of Chicago. The first artwork is A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, by Georges Seurat in 1884, and features a systematic and “scientific” technique.

The portrait represents the beauty of the time period. It holds simplistic colors with detailed shading. The artwork is very intriguing to me. I love the detail in the background, there are tiny brushstrokes that makes up the mountains and sky. Also, I find the shading of the mouth and eyes very interesting.
