Analysis Art for Heart's Sake
The analysis. “Art for heart’s sake”. Дейнеко Дарья, ЛПС-001-O-11
I’d like to tell you about my analysis of the story “Art for heart’s sake” . It’s a very interesting story written by R.L.Goldsberg. He was an American sculptor, cartoonist and writer. He graduated from the. He produced several series of cartoons that were highly popular. His best works are “Is There a Doctor in the House?”, “Rube Goldsberg’ Guide to Europe” and “I Made My Bed”.
The story is logically divided into 3 parts. In introduction the action centers around Collis P. Ellsworth, an old gentleman whose obsessional idea is buying unnecessary things. In the chain of events we see that his doctor Caswell suggests him taking up art and he invites a student Frank Swain to teach him. The old man wants to exhibit his picture “Trees Dressed in White” in a famous gallery. This picture wins the first prize. Then, in the climax we know that an old man have bought this gallery.
The story is about an old man who decides to take up art. As for the mood of the text, it is written in a humorous manner. The author use humor of words either humor of situation. We can see it in describing picture:”.which resembled a gob of salad dressing thrown violently up against the side of a house”. And then that picture wins the first prize in a famous gallery. As for tonality of the text, it’s quite bright and enthusiastic. It proves the choice of author’s words like “graceful lines”, “rich variety of color”, etc.
As for the choice of words, there are colloquial words - “scrawl”, “bosh”, “poppy-cock”. Also there are some bookish words -“constructive”, “abruptness”, “purchase”. We can see medical terms-“patient”, “doctor”, “nurse” and a lot of art terms -“oils”,” water-paint”, “canvas”.
As for the expressing idea of the text, the author uses such devices as metaphors (“when the late spring began to cloak the fields and gardens with color”,” display curiosity”)
