    Del Kathryn Barton’s trademark style of contemporary design and illustrative style are used effectively to create a motherly love emotion within the painting. Although there is a two dimensional appearance about each singular figure, stacking them together makes a three dimensional theme throughout the painting and with the use of line and detail in the foreground adds to these dimensions.…

    "The Tube Train" by Cyril E.Powers

    The moment when I glanced at this painting my first question was “where are these people heading?” I believe they are going to work, home, school or want to take a walk in the city. One thing that made me stop was that everyone is just sitting down minding their own business focused reading the daily newspaper. Nobody is socializing with each other and I wonder why? Maybe it’s just their only time to sit around and have quiet time. From being so busy all day, maybe they are just starting their day and want to take a look of what’s going on in the world by reading the paper or it is possible that they don’t know each other. I really don’t know, I’m just inferring. The Ladies and Gentlemen sitting in the train look so elegant and the designs of the transportation makes it look luxuries. It looks antique but glamorous. I ask myself “what it would be like to live in a different era?” Having to use the metropolitan rail journeys and living in a big city like London.…

    Comparing Thomas Kinkade's Beauty And The Beast

    Dong Qichang, in the Shade of Summer Trees, 17th Century, Ming Dynasty

    There are three men in the painting. The men are at ease and are almost lost in the painting. The men do not seem distinct from their surroundings but rather just another natural element in the bigger picture. The men are in poses that do not suggest positions that can be held for long periods of time, but rather only a moment. The men appear to be marveling at their surroundings as they look out into the vast wilderness. Above them, and hidden behind trees, there is a building. Just like the men, the nature and trees overwhelm the structure itself, clearly defining the more important and powerful of the two.…

    Poe Oval Portrait

    a)The gentleman read about the portrait in the book he had found in the room. The book describes the woman in the painting as a “cheerful maiden” who marries the painter for love. The painter is as much in love with his wife as he is with his artwork. His wife is a naturally happy woman, but despises his art because she feels like she has to compete with his paintings for his love. Her husband asks his wife to sit as a model for one of his portraits. As much as she hates this idea, she agrees to sit for him because she knows how much his art means to him. She sits in the dark tower where the light only comes from above so her husband can paint. Her husband continues to paint his wife, while she sits very still; he does not notice that she is wasting away into the darkness. As his painting becomes more life-like, his wife becomes paler. As her husband finally finishes his painting he realizes that his wife had already dies during his last few brush strokes.…

    Romare Bearden "The Family"

    In the first picture "The Family" (1941), the family looks like they may be struggling economically. The table only shows a fork but there is no food, which can either mean that the family doesn’t have much to eat or what they have they can’t eat all of. It looks like they may only eat the bread they have on the table. The oil lamp on the table shows that the house they live in may not have electricity which could also mean they are having money issues and haven’t paid their bills or it could be symbolic of the father “burning the midnight oil”. The background of the picture shows many colors in scattered shapes on the wall which can illustrate chaos or that the family doesn’t “have their stuff together”. The man sitting at the table has his hand in the lady’s face which says to me that he doesn’t want anything to do with her and the baby or wants to be left alone. The parents are also both painted blue and grey which symbolizes sadness and anger; they may be feeling this way because of the hard times they may be in. The time frame of this painting was during…

    Clown with Long Nose by Walt Kuhn

    It is important, before looking at the painting, to first understand the purpose and direction modern art usually has. “The entire gamut of modern art can be viewed from the vantage point of the artist’s attitude towards the object, an examination which should throw some light on the larger problem of how the modern artist chooses to interweave art and reality and, ultimately, of what constitutes reality for him (Johnson 11).” A major part of interpreting modern art lies within determining that reality. Viewers search for their own meaning in the painting since the simplicity of most modern works leaves much room for imagination. When the modernism phase of artwork began it was not exactly obvious to the public, but over time there “came about a general awareness that there was such thing as a modern sensibility, and that that sensibility had the key to modern life (Russell 126)”. It was thought that if one was modern they had to easily be able to notice changes of life and be accommodating of “the unconscious and the irrational” side of humans (Russell 126). These aspects will later influence the works of Walt Kuhn in his various oil…

    Pompeii Excavation Essay

    As an archaeologist, my interests fall in the Roman city of Pompeii. In an excavation of this site, there are certain artifacts and features I would look for. these features would give insight to the status, living conditions, daily routines, and other characteristics of the people who lived there. Some architectural clues such as the presence of large banquet rooms or small living spaces gives us an insight into the status of the people who lived there. Artifacts such as the presence or absence of certain materials, art, or objects could show some idea of occupation as well as wealth levels. Writings and art are filled with information about the people who lived in this area at the time and could tell what intellectual, social, and political…

    Couple On Two Benches Analysis

    They are both sitting on opposite sides of the bench. Neither of them is smiling and the woman's expression is more dreary. She actually looks quite distressed. The man is more sorrowful. I think couple love each other and are trying to get past whatever the conflict was. They are both holding onto each other, which tells you they are still attached to one another. According to Sotheby's, "Surely some private drama is being enacted between the man and woman; that they are sitting on separate benches indicates either a chance encounter or perhaps even an unexpected reconciliation. Their gazes meet tenderly, though there exists a tenuous aspect to their touch." ( "Couple on Two Benches." Sotheby's. Sotheby's, n.d. Web. 7 Nov. 2016.). This piece is actually quite mysterious in a way. There could be a number of things that are happening with the couple. Maybe they were never in an argument and she was just sad. They could have lost a family member and the man is trying to comfort her. That’s the great thing about art, it is a mystery. We the people are just trying to interpret…

    Piero De Medici's The Triumph Of Fame

    Along the borders of the central image is a designed motif of multicolored feathers, a symbol often found in works commissioned by Piero De’ Medici. On the reverse side of the birth tray, we find a similar design of three feathers, of the similar color scheme as those of the border of a yellow, brighter red, and an ivory or dark red color. Weaving across the three feathers is a draped banner which reads in latin “SEMPER”, meaning “forever”, likely a claim on the longevity of Medici reign in Florence. In the top left and the top right corners of the reverse side, we find two family crests, presumably those of the parents of the newly born Lorenzo, with the top left crest brandishing the notable Medici pale, or eight pills, a dynastic emblem recalling the ancestral medical profession of the now wealthy banker family. The subject matter in the central vessel of the birth tray, coupled with the personalized familial motifs, serves as a clear marker of the shifting project of fine arts at the time, which began the production non-religious, patron based works…

    When I began planning this paper, I didn’t know where to begin. Because I’m from Evansville, it was much harder to find something I’ve never done, but then it hit me. I just turned 18 recently and the two places I haven’t been that I am now able to are 1) the hookah bar or 2) the strip club. I didn’t think going to the strip club would be an appropriate topic for this paper. Therefore, I was left with option number one.…

    Favorite Piece of Art

    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…
