In my personal opinion, I feel that hyperrealism does not belong to a genre and they are not creative or imaginative. Technical and skills involved to give a reality illusion in works is one thing. Taking a photograph would be so much easier rather then painting it. As to compare to Jackson Pollock’s painting, from the image above, he does painting in the form of abstract expressionism. He has a very unique style of doing his work, which is laying a very large piece of blank canvas onto the floor

The surrealist art movement is one which is known for tapping into the unconscious mind and expressing what the artist finds. There have been many prominent figures in different arts and sciences throughout history who have had similar ideas. Some of these have been in literature, psychology, film, and the visual arts.

By breaking the fourth wall and commenting on the production of the play, Gelber creates a kind of hyperrealism in which the audience is an active participant, creating the distinction between the play’s reality and the audience’s reality. The subject matter of the play (which in itself is a play about society using drug addicts and jazz musicians) brings

Gabriel Detter Mrs. Flynn Humanities-English 12 Honors 18 April 2016 Salvador Dali was an interesting personality. His waxed mustache and eccentric persona gave him an almost celebratory status. He was a prominent figurehead in the surrealist movement. He wanted to pursue the fundamentals of reality and as such was interested in a wide variety of fields of study and attempted to incorporate them into his work. One of these fields was psychology and psychoanalysis, which Sigmund Freud headed.

security cameras set up throughout the kitchen and living room. As you can see in this clip we are shown high and wide camera angles to create a mise-en scene and are even brought into the scene by the men bumping the camera causing it to fall to give hyperrealism. Chaganty uses non-diegetic sound in this scene when the men are fighting; this creates a sense of

Statistically, Pop art could be defined by simple and crisp lines, oversized images, which often reflects the copies and the style often seen in media, collages of popular images, bright or saturated colours or recreating the subject in several pieces.

There has been a lot of debate on the various stereotypes within Disney films and the effects they have on their audience. Disney’s audience is predominantly children, which makes it even more important that they are sensitive with the views and ideas they portray. Media as a whole plays a large role in influencing the way children perceive society and shapes their own views and beliefs as they grow up. It is for the children that issues of representation, such as race and gender, need to be considered

Art has always been an undeniable aspect of human civilization. We use art to express and to explore, which is why I believe art is so important. Art reflects the state of its time; as creators, we project our experiences into creative expressions. That is why we must explore art of the past to better understand ourselves. Following the tumultuous times of China under Mao Zedong, so much has changed, and the art created then perfectly manifests this development. That is why today I am looking into

postmodern movement in the late 20th century opened plenty of doors to new traits to culture, arts, and others. Among these was literature, which had a more cynical worldview in its works. Its abundance in irony, black humor, fragmentation and hyperrealism became some of its most distinguishable traits which made it an enjoyable literary movement. With the postmodern movement reaching its high peak with Catch-22, analysis of postmodern literature became inevitable. Some of the recurring themes in

In a world where the boundaries between real and un-real are often blurred we find that our realities often imitates the un-real more than the real. We are faced with a society where we are more in tune with the hyper real world.

The Breakaway was painted by Thomas William Roberts, an Australian artist known for his national narratives. This is demonstrated through, The Breakaway, as it tells the story of a drover trying to prevent a mob of sheep from running away from the pack. During the 1890’s there was a drought which is depicted in the painting, with dust being kicked up and dry, arid landscape. In 1891 a shearers strike began leading to the formation of the Australian Labor Party which suggests the lack of assistance

My all time favorite artist is Frida Kahlo. Not only was she an amazing artist but she was an intricate and articulate woman. She went through many hardships in her life and she expressed her emotion through her wonderfully surreal paintings. Like many successful artists, Frida had many skeletons in her closet and she wasn’t perfect in anyway. She deal with infertility, infidelity, and many other heartbreaking trials. I think that’s probably why Frida is one of my favorite artists, she was a true

REFLECTIVE JOURNAL Yuliya Borodavkina// FS 2 1415 Gender Ambivalence as a trend. The world's main trade show of man's fashion, Pitti Uomo, has recently become not only a source of various inspirations and stylistic ideas for the women (as it has always been), but also a source of the new brilliant brand discoveries, and what is interesting – their men's lines. There is one trick, known since the times of Gabrielle Chanel: if the texture allows that, mensclothing (the

Baudrillard makes a connection between fame and death in Simulacra and Simulation: “Death is never an absolute criteria, but in this case it is significant: the era of James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and the Kennedys, of those who really died simply because they had a mythic dimension that implies death” (24). The myth about death is further explained as a concept that erases an individual’s mortality and transforms these icons into immortality in an art form or by the media. Replication and broadcasting
