    This paper has been far more difficult to research than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, photographers are not always given the full credit they desrve for their work and therefore, it is impossible to find the names of the artists of some of my favorite photographs. Instead, I decided to just look up popular photographers in the fashion industry in hopes of having easier access to information. Despite the fact that I now had the names of some of the most world famous fashion photographers, finding information on them is a whole other story in and of itself. As I am beginning to realize, the saying among the photography department is true- if you are not Annie Leibovitz, you will not be known until you are dead. For example, one of my favorite photographers is Diane Arbus. She had compiled vast amounts of work throughout her career. Unfortunately, all of her works were found in a locker after her suicide and then she was seen as an artist. To summarize what I am saying is that the only famous photographers are dead ones and all the successful ones are barely known. So in order for this research paper to even have the possibility of making it it to four pages, I am going to have to choose the cliché (yet greatly talented) photographer, Annie Leibovitz.…

She is one of the most demanded photographer for celebrity pictures and became a celebrity herself that way. Most of the photographs she taken have been featured mostly in magazines such as Rolling Stones, Vanity Fair and Vogue. Leibovitz has always been interested in the arts since a young age. Her mother was a dance instructor and influenced her to take dance classes not only from her, but from many other teachers. In high school she focused in music. She specialized in the guitar and wrote numerous songs, eventually becoming the head of her schools’ folk sing club. When she attended university however, she took an interest in visual arts and considered being a painting instructor as a career. It wasn’t until her family was stationed in the Philippines (her father was an Air Force lieutenant colonel) and a trip down Japan, that she was awestruck by the wonderment of photography. When she went back to school, she took night classes for photography.…

    Traveling is an aspect of what is perceived from our day to day lives, to something new that has never been seen. Ellis Wilson traveled throughout life with many struggles, and trials that created barriers in his overall success as an artist. Faced with many obstacles, he set on a journey with a paintbrush, visions, and stories all throughout his life. Regardless what life presented to him he kept treading on. He was met with new opportunities with each experience and that led him to his epiphany of his artistic ability when he was inspired by his travels to Haiti and the African culture of the people and their interaction. He moved forward with his talents, and his greatest influence, when his father passed away in the 1930’s. Ellis Wilson portrayed this emotion of losing a loved one in his painting Funeral Procession. (Wilson). This painting he expressed the significance of losing a loved one, overcoming a tragedy, but still being able to move forward and celebrate that lost soul. He had a personal connection to this losing his father at such an early period of his artistic and personal life. He left landmarks with all the various jobs he took to display his artistic talents, he never was discouraged, and moved forward creating a path that would be influential to later African American artists, decades and centuries later. He found comfort and warm close feeling still being connected to his home town; he still shared his success with them. His documentary explained, “Ellis’ continued interest in sharing his accomplishments and artwork with his hometown and home state reflected his strong connection to his community and family roots. He once told an interviewer that his only real regret was that his father, who had inspired his love of art in the first place, did not live to see his son’s success”(King). Wilson’s painting Funeral Procession created in 1958 was an exhibition of his signature style of angularity and elongation, a dedication of his…

    Venice Interview Paper

    Walking around Venice, visitors can see a great variety of art. There are sculptures, murals, paintings, tattoo parlors, and performance art. When speaking to the artists I asked them, “Why come to Venice beach? Why sell your art here?” They described venice as a melting pot of creativity. It was an environment that allows for the stimulation and blossoming of creativity. It is also a popular venue for tourists and art enthusiasts of all types. One woman I interviewed originally started selling her art at Venice beach to fundraise for her daughter’s drama program, “within two hours I had made two hundred dollars from doing henna” (Zahra 2016). Since then she began to regularly profit off her skills as a henna artist. Another artist by the name of Frank B Gentile describes Venice beach as an “eclectic environment [in which] artists thrive” (Gentile 2016). He praised the diversity that could be found all over Venice beach, not just within the varying mediums of art but also within the food, the music, and the people.…

    Art has been created by all people at all times; it lives because it is liked and enjoyed. Art involves personal experiences of an individual accompanied by some intensity of emotion. Art is made of man, no matter how close it is to nature. Although each work of art is evidently the expression of an artists’ personal thoughts and feelings it may be inferred that, like any other individual, he belongs to a million, and he cannot free himself from the influence of his social, economic, political, cultural, geographic, scientific, and technological environment.…
