    He is known for his still life paintings. The piece located at the Muskegon Museum of Art is a small arrangement of fruit on a table. The background is a plain grey color and the table that the fruit is all sitting on is a dark greyish black marble one. In the center of the picture is the display of fruit. The arrangement of fruit appears to have a light shone on it, causing it to stand out even more against the dark table and background. There are both white and black grapes, peaches, a pear, two plumbs, some small red berries and some leaves on a stem that I am assuming are part of a grape vine. Some of the leaves are completely green, others are like those in the fall that are on their way from green to red. Every color is present in the picture is present. White grapes, the red berries and the red on the edges of the leaves, orange in the leaves and on the peaches, yellow in the leaves and the peaches, the green stems and the leaves sprouting from them, blue and purple in the grapes that fades into the same shade of black that is the…

    Franklin Carmichael’s “Hilltops” is a 25.4 x 30.4 cm oil on panel painted in 1943 located in the Art Gallery of Ontario. The painting is a depiction of a landscape consisting of rolling hills in the foreground and middle ground and sky with an overcast of clouds. Carmichael used flat areas of colour, bold horizontal lines, and simplification of objects that instils a sense of stability. In contrast, his use of thick, distinguishable lines, bright blue tones in the sky that is starkly juxtaposed with sullen grey clouds, as well as the mix of cool and warm colours of the hilltops in the foreground and middle…

    Jonn Pettie’s painting “Friar Lawrence and Juliet” portrays the scene in which Juliet cries about Romeo’s death. The dark colors in the background convey a sad, heavy mood and symbolizes the darkness that overwhelms Juliet. The stone walls in the background represent how hard Romeo’s death is for Juliet. Juliet cries on Friar Lawrence’s shoulder and is dressed in white, which might represent her innocence, but also the marriage that did not happen. Friar Lawrence has his arms crossed and is looking down, which can show his unconformity toward the situation and also his feelings of guilt and remorse. The picture is faithful to the scene, capturing its sad…

    The artist’s purpose in putting this picture in the public form is trying to get across the modern-day American what life was like during these times. People can read books or watch movies about the time, but there is no way to really get an accurate representation of the time without a photograph from that time.…

    Based on traditional landscape painting methods, Cropsey made clear observation of different landscapes of nature and drew sketches of them. He then combined them to create a larger, composite landscape painting. Here, we can see that he presents a Romantic panoramic landscape view in his canvas and organized spatial recession in this landscape with the use of light and color. The painting can almost be divided into three main parts: a dark foreground, a bright middle ground and a translucent background. In the foreground, he depicts the wilderness in a dark tone. In the center, Cropsey uses a warm golden yellow to brighten the cultivated hay fields of the family farm. Not only it creates a contrast with the dark surrounding wilderness, but it also was a recognizable style of the artist’s time. With that said, we can tell that this painting has a relative clarity, and that Cropsey might intend to make a focus upon the things in the middle. To recede the viewer’s eyes to the background, Cropsey uses a lighter and cooler color to portray the objects, for example, the grayish-blue mountains and translucent clouds. It creates an illusion of three-dimensional space and furthers the distance away from the viewer. The brushwork of the painting is evidently loose, which gives a painterly effect. Therefore, we can say that Cropsey depicts the scenery by…

    The painting is of a jack pine tree that is distinctly known to live in eastern North America. Have you ever seen how unique and beautiful it is? I’ve only seen the 30-72 foot tree in photos and paintings. In the background of the painting are mountains. Everyday you can see the mountains so that part of the picture really reminds me of Canada. Tom Thomson was known to be a part of the group of seven and to me was the best member of it, his brush strokes and colors stood out to me the most.…

    It was my first time at that museum and I am surely I will be back to do the audio tour. The artwork I chose was Lovers In the Park by Francois Boucher and was made in 1758. I was attracted to this piece because I instantly recognized the Rococo style of painting in which I really enjoy. To have the opportunity to experience and physically see a Rococo painting in person truly brings to life everything we discussed in class such as the gentle brushstrokes and meaningful colors that are involved and used in the Rococo style. I decided to challenge my skills and try to interpret the meaning of the painting on my own. From my first few glimpses of the painting, I noticed how the couple on the right had wealthy looking attire so I’m assuming they are aristocrats. To the left, there is another woman walking by and it seems as if the man is smirking at her in almost a flirtatious way while his girlfriend is unaware and stares into space. I also noticed that there are two baby statues above them that seem to aware of what was going on as they looked down at the couple. to me, the baby statues were a symbol of innocence and the dog next to the couple was a symbol of loyalty. The expressions on the figures faces were soft and pleasant. The image confirmed to express that at that time men were wealthy and powerful, and were able to get away with having more than one spouse, although you can tell the girlfriend in the painting seems somewhat uneasy with the situation. It turns out that the painting is Boucher's way of remarking on the endless game of love. "It invites the viewer to dream awhile" it continued to say and it successfully did that for…

    Throughout history, many artists have tried their best to capture the mood of their time period. In 1865, Albert Bierstadt created an incredible art piece named “Looking Down Yosemite Valley”, which illustrates the glorious mountain landscape of the California valley. He was so inspired by what he had seen, he decided to reimagine it by using oil on paperboard. While painting, he chose to make the skies light blue and the plantlife brighter than usual. In addition, he painted the valley mountains larger than everything else in the oil painting to emphasize the valley’s size. Bierstadt showed an unbelievable understanding of light and reflection, which brought the entire piece together. Furthermore, this inspired people to move to California to be able to experience the inspiration for Bierstadt’s artwork and have a better life.…

    More often than not, it shows a solitary figure, an attractive man in his 20s, enacting a scene from an old-master painting. Dressed in contemporary garb — a hooded sweatshirt, perhaps, or a Denver Broncos jersey — the man might be crossing the Swiss Alps on horseback with the brio of Napoleon or glancing upward, prophet-style, golden light encircling his head.In layman’s terms, his art is a skilled remix. He rearranges racial power dynamics, conceptions of beauty, gender, and “the gaze.” It makes us think about pop iconography and the history of portraiture” Deborah, S (2015, January 28) Kehinde Wiley Puts a Classical Spin on His Contemporary Subjects The New York…

    The image depicts a scene from Inferno, a classical poem written by Dante Alighieri in the 1300’s in which Dante is led through the levels of Hell by the dead poet Virgil. In this particular moment, Dante is witnessing the horrors of the wrathful in Hell. Clearly, Dante is the figure cloaked in beige and covering his mouth in utter disbelief. His eyes, however, are not directed at the two fighting men. He is staring off towards the side of the painting which makes us wonder what exactly he is looking at. Virgil continues to look down at the scene before us while he attempts to steer Dante onward with a hand.…
