Dear Curator: I Irises By Vincent Van Gogh
Dear Curator,

I Irises By Vincent Van Gogh contain dozens of violet Irises that need sunlight, water and other nutrients from the ground. While being inside of this Art prison I do not have access to these needed things and without these I will shrivel up and die, so dear Curator I ask that you please put me outside so I can grow and be the best Irises I can be.

SIncerely,

Irises by Vincent Van Gogh

    “Memory of Leonski” is a painting Albert Tucker completed in 1943 in a demoralising and animalistic way, to expose the details of the high profile crime Private Edward Leonski, an American GI in the Second World War, committed in 1942. He strangled three Melbourne women and left their bodies with their genitals exposed. Tucker also painted this to depict the brutal power that war and the dangerous American sexuality had over Australia. This crime represents the negative attitudes Australia had towards the GIs, as Australians thought only an American could carry out such sensational sex crimes. This compelling image reflects on the social turmoil that society went through during this time, as the people became vulnerable and very absorbed towards the soldiers. Tucker uses symbols such as the army aircraft in the sky and the American flag to demonstrate the American-ness of Leonski, the favourable responses from the people in Melbourne and implies that war and the temporary conditions that overturned traditional beliefs of masculinity and femininity distort the standards of right and wrong to the point of uncertainty. The large and obscurely sexual body crushing a dove in its left hand is symbolic for the loss of innocence of the young girls who developed a keen sense of the serious and distressing problem of claiming the right to do, as they like as well as the vulnerability of their bodies. The open hand represents the murder weapon. The scandalous display of the backside and genitals coincides with the semi-naked state in which Leonski’s victims were found. This work is a powerful comment on the very reason as to why society was resentful of the exaggerated influence of Americanisation that instigated repositioning the ways in which men and women thought about their bodies and their relationships with one another. This alludes to the sense that Australian masculinity was under pressure to transform itself…

    What I Saw in the Water is different from most of Kahlo’s painting because this painting does have a dominant focus. This painting is one of the most creative and unsettling. Frida Kahlo friend Julien Levy explained this painting, as “It is an image of passing time about time and childhood games in the bathtub and the sadness of what had happened to her in the course of her life”. She painted her entire life into the bathtub. In this painting you see can some of the same symbols that Kahlo uses in all of her paintings. The bathtub is the first symbol, which is present in the painting. For Kahlo the bathtub setting is equivalent to the womb, which for the artist is both a source of happiness and suffering. Frida deeply moaned her inability to…

    Pretty much as Vincent Van Gogh, I likewise thought amid his period that present-day life, with its steady social change and concentrate on advancement and achievement, estranged individuals from each other and from themselves. As we all know individuals experiencing an unbalance mental condition as Van Gogh did were not in contact with the truth. I think Van Gogh unbalance condition was overpowering while he searched for a puzzling impact to his depiction. Concerning myself, it is difficult to center when I drink alcohol so contrasting it with Van Gogh mental condition must had likewise been troublesome for him to center which is the reason he paint expressionism conceptual. The Starry Night, 1889, oil on canvas, 28 ¾ x 36 ¼", by Vincent…

    It often has been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If someone were to look up beauty in the dictionary, they would read this: beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction. In other words, beauty is anything that is pleasing to the eye. Today’s society teaches that the way to beauty is to become rich and successful, only worrying about oneself, but is that true beauty? Is true beauty not giving oneself up for another? True beauty comes when someone cares about others that cannot return that care. Jean Vanier embodies true beauty because he gave up a rich, easy lifestyle to invest himself into and live with people who could not offer him anything in return.…

    The artist I chose is Vincent van Gogh, because he is my favorite artist whose artwork always catches my eye. Van Gogh’s work is known for its beauty, color, and emotion.

    Lope De Vega, in one of his sonnets, refers to two famous contemporaries in a striking way; he calls the Italian poet Marino “a great painter for the ears” and the Flemish painter Rubens “a great poet for the eyes”. Six hundred year and 6000 miles away, a similar concept occurs in a parallel situation. The Chinese poet Su Shi, in one of his poems, praises two men, one a poet and the other a painter: “Tu Fu’s poems are figureless paintings, Han Kan’s paintings are wordless poems. In both poems, a very special relationship is established between poetry and painting. They are considered parallel and comparable; more than that, they take each other’s place. A comparative treatment of the same phenomenon in two widely seperated and obviously unrelated literatures may bring out siginificant differents as well as integritions.…
