Analysis Of The Portrait Of Caroline Bartlett
In the portrait of Caroline Bartlett, the artist really wanted her to stand out in the portrait. He used a dark but subtle background mixing black and browns together. Caroline Bartlett dress is a vintage look with bold smooth lines. You can tell every wrinkle and curves in it. With a white fur scarf around her neck. She is just sitting on a chair with her elbow upright on a book that’s on the table next to her gently supporting her head. She has a look that many students have in class as sitting there dozing off and thinking about what is next with a subtle facial expression not being able to tell if she is happy or sad. It has really soft lines which blend smoothly into each other. The most intricate part of the painting that shows his work

    As one moves further away from the “Table” towards the background in the right corn you’d notice a dark hallway which doesn’t mean much but the shading on it is just amazing to me. The ability to cast a shadow from the wall of the lighted area onto the wall that leads away from the picture is an amazing detail to capture. Elizabeth’s shading technique/ skill is outstanding.…

    Measuring at the viewer cannot help but feel as though the wailing women are surrounding them. Currie uses a diagonal line in the form of a stretcher at the bottom left corner, to help direct the viewers’ eyes to the centre of the painting. In the middle of the picture, there is wailing women in a yellow dress, black cloak and is holding a photo who closely resembles the man on the stretcher, while pointing to the skies. Against the dark cloak the soft, pale yellow stands out and helps to emphasise the darkness of the scene by giving the viewer a sense of the brightness that once was. Colours such as pale yellow and light blue (which is used in the dress to the right of the women in the centre) are often associated with youth. In incorporating this hint of colour, Currie reminds the viewer of the humanistic aspect of war, by using colours of childhood lost amongst the dark colours of…

    Although the American West existed as a land of hope and opportunity, the migration there proved long and arduous and would take the lives of many along the trail. The movement West was made with the intentions of traveling to a place that was less populated and attempting to start all over. However, if the relocation was successful, the new land proved fruitful and allowed the settlers to reestablish their families. The year 1848 would bring a new perception of the West and introduced the gold rush, which would harm the existing settlers living in California.…

    This painting is by Ellen Plankey, it is untitled and a pastel. For the purposes of this paper, I’ll call it “Young Girl on Blanket”. This is a picture of a young woman sitting on what appears to be a blanket. She’s looking off to her right and is wearing a dark blue skirt and a baby blue cloth around her head as a wrap. She’s topless, but how it’s shadowed only one of her breasts is very prominent; the other blurred by shadow. She’s surrounded by plants, all of which are leafy bushes. The sky in the back peeking through the leaves is a pale orange, almost a faded salmon color. The shadows on her body are splotched from the openings between the leaves. All of which is very soft. “Young Girl on Blanket” uses intermediate colors; soft shades of pink, blue, green and orange. All of the lines are curved in this, even the blankets edge ripples over what appears to be grass, which rounds the edge of it so that it doesn’t seem like a rectangle but instead a boxy oval. The girl’s body is curvy, not overly so, just enough so that her femininity shines through. Also, the only lines that are solid are the outline of her and her…

    Self Portrait by Judith Leyster (1630) and Third-Class Carriage (1864) by Honore Daumier are the two paintings I will compare. Since both artists capture everyday life events, I will compare the similarities, while exhibiting their different styles related to different time periods. Judith Leyster was known for pictures of everyday life and portraits in her Baroque/Dutch Golden Age style artwork. As reported by Mind Edge, “The Baroque movement of the 17th and early 18th century was known for its religious focus and its elaborate and extensive ornamentation, advanced by the Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation as an artistic response to the rise of Protestantism.” (ch. 2.04 par.1) “Painters sought realism in portraits, with an…

    Abigail Williams displays the most influence in the ongoing which trials of Salem in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Abigail manipulates others, display vanity throughout the story, and is obviously a deluded young girl in love with an older, married man who does not return her affections anymore. Her false accusations of witchcraft in Salem, sparked great chaos, and only so that she could force her lover into marrying her. Her actions are the foundation of every death and arrest in Salem. She is a venerable girl yet she has very little to be. She is a static character because her only objective throughout the play is to be rid of Elizabeth Proctor so that she can marry her husband. Therefore, not only is Abigail a manipulative, vain and deluded young girl, but she is indubitably the most influential Character in The Crucible.…

    Like in all her paintings, there is plenty amount of implied texture. The implied texture is seen in the fabrics of the clothing, the hair and even in the skin of the women. Unlike “Judith Slaying Holofernes” the painting does not have such bright colors. They are more like burnt shades of orange and brown. The focal point in this would be the two women looking off into the distance, in my opinion, while the emphasis would be the actual head of Holofernes in the…

    When you first look at the painting your eye goes to the red jacket that one of the ballerinas in the front has on. Next you can see the bright color ribbons each ballerinas has on, none have the same color. The bright contrast of the colored ribbons and the white tutus makes the ribbons pop and attracts your eyes. The dark walls in the background of the ballerinas also makes the ballerinas stand out and draws your eyes towards them because of the color contrast of light and dark. With all the contrast of light and dark colors, but mostly light colors, it gives it a relaxed look. Especially with the bright light coming into the window on the left, giving it a more lighter, happier and relaxed feeling. Because of all the contrast in colors your eyes travel from the front of the painting to the back and then from the right of the painting to the left because of the bright red being the most dominant color in the front right and then the color split in the back of the dark brown and yellow leading your eye to the girls stretching and dancing in the back of the picture. Overall the variety of colors used throughout the painting give the picture a realistic feel and helps in telling what is going on in the…

    “I didn’t mean to kill her,” I told myself, looking gravely in the mirror. I wanted to believe these words but the dull, bloodshot eyes staring back at me said otherwise. I grasped the sides of the sink even harder, looking down, not wanting to see the monster I’ve made of myself. Pushing my hands off the sink with great force, I eventually stood up straight and walked out of the bathroom.…

    The dark setting and the little contrast of the painting leads me to think that Wyeth thought of Christina as a sad older woman slowly dying from polio. Just from the lack of distinction from the foreground to background, it could be told that the artist was trying to convey a certain mood. It was the lack of color and the subtle transitions in the tone that makes me think he was trying to convey to us that she had a very dull life and not a lot to do in her daily routine. The kitten also leads the viewer to believe that Christina does not have much time, told by the way the kitten is being grasped as if it is the only valuable piece of life left. Looking deeper into the picture the viewer is only able to see one empty clothes line hanging in the background, as it crosses the cracking and peeling walls, making it seem as if nothing could be a bother to the subject.…
