Country Side
Country Side
Freedom surrounds those who aspire to achieve lonesome from the rest of the world. The perfect getaway is something that most people deserve once in a while. Complete solitary from everything and everyone nothing but fields for miles and miles away. The country side has a lot to offer the spectacular view and stunning landscape. It doesn’t matter whether it is winter, spring, fall or summer because either of these seasons changes the fact of how admiring the view is from a far. I am a victim of this ignorance. I never realize how precious and beautiful the country side is until I saw Harvey George W. painting, New England Landscape, at the Andersons Gallery in Beverly Hills that opens my eyes into larger sense of beauty and strength. Harvey George W. was known for his Techniques of Fly Tying Fishing. Harvey was born on November 14, 1911, in Dubois, Pennsylvania. His father Archibald accepted a job as a stock farmer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. That’s where he got inspired by painting the New England from his childhood memories. While Harvey was in the farm he had learned so many things and to appreciate what was handed to him, he did not come from a wealthy income family and all he could have done is go by what his expectation were. His Father Archibald teaches him how fish by the stream right off the stream. Even more he was being afflatus by the nature that surrounded him. Harvey is not a well-known artist but more for his achievements at Penn State University. At Penn State he teaches Fishing Tying for the first Time in history and that class was accredited in 1947. Also he got offered to run in the Olympics but then he was diagnosed with pneumonia and did not get to compete.
In my perspective view, seeing this painting of the country side makes me want to forget about life and go there to escape from the everyday basis. The scenery is breath taking. The tree that is located on the center left hand is perfected it reflects how privacy is

    This piece of art was created by Claude Monet. He is known as the classic impressionist. In this painting, he captures the ever-changing nature of light and color. Unlike a lot of paintings, you can see the brush strokes in this painting. But I believe that the brush strokes used help create the piece of art and they help show the leaves and flowers on the trees. Also, it helps make the clouds in the sky look more hazy and beautiful.…

    The picture shows a man sitting down over a rock in the woods. Probably is the artist himself want to create a romantic picture. The man turned to the right side looking toward his right side. The artist focused on something around him which makes him turned back from his drawing. John Quidor was a good artist, even though he didn’t get appreciated in his period, but he is now considered one of the founding fathers of American art. The artist in this picture wants to present a scene that combines both the American landscape and literature (Newark Museum Collection,…

    Space: This painting uses space effectively by making the town small and close together, giving it some depth. Also, the small hills in the back begin to get fuzzy the further back they go. Van Gogh makes the objects closer to the viewer much crisper and clearer giving it a 3D effect. There is also a vague point perspective as the trees guide you up towards the sky. There is also a vague point where on the right and left, the hills end up guiding your eyes to a hidden vanishing point behind the trees.…

    My other intention is paid to the shape of the woman’s face, a triangle, which is depicted as slim and pale. Viewers are then able to feel more delicacy and vulnerability, protected in the man’s embrace. The beauty of dress outlined by colorful circles is also dominated. Secondly, color in the painting, is original. The combination of light brown and yellow, the two dominant colors, makes the work brighter in terms of contrast. Love here, according to my perception, is as physically and emotionally passionate as the yellow burning fire. In spite of many color combination, I do not feel tangle in my eyes but a fantastic harmony. The yellow-featured intense black rectangles strengthen the image of a strong man. Especially, the pale skin of woman is also a miraculous mix, which is, I believe, the ability of gifted artists. Green and brown are another exquisite blend. It is also a beauty of nature when a loving couple exists on brown land and green grass. Overall, shape and color have the power to tremendously inspire me.…

    I believe this painting shows a loss of identity. This is the reason I chose this as my favorite piece of art, because I can relate to it. There came a time in my life where I was struggling with my own identity. In today's world it is very significant to identify oneself with at least one thing (ones ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, or a particular belief). Many people still grapple with the notion of identity in many countries, regions, and various ways in order to fit or adapt into any environment (social, economic, cultural, political, etc). One’s identity determines ones position or situation in society wherever one lives. However, finding the right type of…

    The main theme of this painting is the civilization moving westward and the moving of the frontiers. The painting is devised in two parts: the storm moving away and because the prospect is seem from a top of a hill. There is a division with the use of light and darker color. It represents civilize America and it is also a pastoral landscape. It is recording the disappearance of wildness (blasted tree and the lively vegetation). It is questioning the way you build representation of the nature. The naturalization of economic processes. It’s a picture of the weather. Replace human processes by natural processes.…

    In this essay, about Susan Cheever’s love for New York City and especially Central Park, we are taken on a visual trip through the streets of New York. In our modern society parents have an increasing urge to keep their children safe, and so they move them from the city to the country or opposite in an attempt to shield the children of any of the dangers, which lures all around us. But is this the right way to protect our spouse? Some people just fit perfectly where they are and I think Susan Cheever would agree with me on that. Some people need the city noises and some people will never get used to them. But one thing is sure. If you move a city-person to the countryside at some point they will go back to their roots, as we saw with Susan Cheever. Andy Warhol once said that it was better to live in the city than the country because in the city you can find a little bit of country but in the country you can’t find anything that resembles big city life. I agree on that. Even the biggest concrete jungles on earth have preserved some green areas. Some city may take it more seriously but every big city in the world has some kind of country in them. It can be found in art, parks and even the trees that are left in there. On the other hand you don’t see much of the city on the countryside. You can really tell how much she loves Central Park by how she writes. She uses a lot of adjectives and metaphors throughout the whole story.…

    Susan Cheever’s essay is based on her own memories of Central Park in New York City, which is her ‘little bit of country’. In My Little Bit of Country, Susan Cheever contrasts the life in the country versus the life in the city, where the two different landscapes are the fundamental basis of her memories in the suburban and the urban landscape. The essay’s main theme is the relation between society and nature, because of Susan Cheever’s fascination of Central Park, her “(…) natural wonderland (...)”1 in the middle of the urban chaos.…
