Art Gallery
This was no ordinary day for Zac Green. Zac is an artist, he paints in his home based studio in London and this was his big break. As today he was going to meet the director of the biggest art gallery in Paris.

He had come from London the day before and taken the Eurostar all the way to Paris. Zac, being a man of free will didnt want to be carted around Paris on a bus or train with all the other ordinary tourists. He says that if he sees an outstanding piece of scenery he just wants to be able to stop and if he has time paint it or capture the moment on his camera and take it back to his studio. So he decided to hire a car. After he had arrived he took the car out for a drive to see some of the sights, Zac isnt one for wasting time. He went to see the Arc de Triumph; he was absorbed by the sheer detail that had gone into the building. Stone gargoyles and turrets that just blew him away. Of course he had to go to the Eiffel Tower. From the top you could capture most of the Paris landscape even the outer suburbs. This gave him a new idea for a painting, but not now, not on this visit.

It was five minutes before the meeting with the head of the art gallery. He was so nervous because this deal could make or break him as an artist. But unfortunately at a young age he became addicted to cigarettes, because of his nervousness he got a sudden craving and had to stop at the local gas station to pick some up. He found just the right amount of money in his pocket, the last of his remaining Euros. Fortunately he made it on time to his meeting.

He came out of the meeting and was pleased with himself; even though they havent confirmed weather he got the deal but was pretty sure that he would. He was so excited that he had to go back to the hotel room take in the excitement and telephone his family.

He had left the city roads now and was travelling along the quite narrow country roads back to his hotel. He was the only car on the roads at this time of night and the empty

    As an art student, I find the art that we learn about in class very interesting because it is art that I would never be interested in, but yet after learning the details I enjoy them. Although I don’t mind learning art through power points, I find physically looking at art more enjoyable. Getting the whole experience of physical artwork is a more exciting way to learn and catches my interest more, which is why I was so excited to visit a new museum and look at some art. For this assignment I decided to go to the LACMA museum. I have been to many museums before, but I have not visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art yet so I was very excited. I find a lot of art very fascinating, but I am more interested in the more contemporary and modern arts. I am a design major so I was drawn to the sculptural art pieces that were displayed outside the building. One piece in particular that I found very beautiful and fascinating was an outside display entitled “Urban Light”.…

    The “Self-Portrait with a bandaged ear” by Vincent Van Gogh and “The Two Fridas” by Mexican painter Kahlo Frida are depicting the artists’ deep hurt and emotional breakdown at losing their special person in life. However, the portrait “The Two Fridas” is representing the artist’s conflicting psychological mind more into details and straightforward than Vincent Van Gogh’s self-portrait “The Bandaged Ear.”…

    French Rococo Era Painter, 1703-1770 Francois Boucher seems to have been perfectly attuned to his times, a period which had cast off the pomp and circumstance characteristic of the preceding age of Louis XIV and had replaced formality and ritual by intimacy and artificial manners. Boucher was very much bound to the whims of this frivolous society, and he painted primarily what his patrons wanted to see. It appears that their sight was best satisfied by amorous subjects, both mythological and contemporary. The painter was only too happy to supply them, creating the boudoir art for which he is so famous. Boucher was born in Paris on Sept. 29, 1703, the son of Nicolas Boucher, a decorator who specialized in embroidery design. Recognizing his sons artistic potential, the father placed young Boucher in the studio of François Lemoyne, a decorator-painter who worked in the manner of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Though Boucher remained in Lemoynes studio only a short time, he probably derived his love of delicately voluptuous forms and his brilliant color palette from the older masters penchant for mimicking the Venetian decorative painters.…

    While walking through the Philadelphia Museum of Art, trying to decide which piece I should do further research on and write a paper on, I discovered The Crucifixion, with the Mourning Virgin and Saint John the Evangelist”. This is oil on panel painting by Rogeier van der Weyden in the Netherlands (historical name,15th-16th century), Europe in 1460. The time period that this was made in was Early Italian Renaissance. It is 71 x 73 3/8 inches. The vibrant colors in this painting is so enthralling that I could not help but be interested about it.…
