Van Honthorst’s use of lines within this work of art, makes the girl seem to fade into the dark background of the image. The texture in this painting is characteristic of seventeenth century northern European art. The texture within this work of art is realistic as though what is in the painting could be touched and feel like silk on the sleeves of the dress and the feathers look like they feel soft and fluffy. There is a great range of value within this piece, the background of the painting is very dark while the girl in the painting has very pale skin making her stand out from the dark background. This image is asymmetrical, the way that the girl is seated and holding the oval portrait make the painting unbalanced, the image would be symmetrical if the girl was facing forward rather than a three-fourths view of her. The emphasis in this painting is her face and her smile, her pale face against the dark background really stand out, her rosy cheeks and big smile make it easy to spot across the room. This painting is realistic, she is proportionate and she looks like any other girl that one might see. Over all, this painting is pleasing to the eye and had a wonderful texture, and…
From reading the critical review written by Bryon Blanchflower I have learnt a number of different aspects focusing on Von Guerard’s artwork. First glancing at his pieces of art it was noticeably clear that his main style was landscape in fine detailed paints involving an amount of shadows and highlights, space and colour.…

An artist can create art work through a creative process. An element of this process is critical thinking. Artists’ creativity process begins with seeing. It then goes from seeing to imagining and from imagining to making (Sayre, 2009). This essay will provide an explanation of artists’ roles. The essay will also include two chosen works of art, one of which embodies the role of the artist and the other holds symbolic significance requiring the application of iconography.…

I chose to evaluate two works of art from two different time periods, one from the Baroque era and another from the Neoclassical artworks. The first piece of artwork that I chose is the "Resting Girl". This beautiful work of art was created by Francois Boucher in 1715 and is the perfect example of a late Baroque style painting which features the Rococo style. This painting is located in the Wallraf Museum in Cologne, Germany. This painting consists of oil on canvas and was the very example of applying a light romantic touch. Boucher used light and delicate colors with emphasis on the interiors which were elegant and exuded luxury.…
Throughout the development of the art community, different theories of art arose for analyzing the artistic quality of different works. These theories diverged to emphasize certain aspects of a piece. In this paper, the images of two pieces of work, “Eros Sleeping” and “Composition V” by Wassily Kandinsky will be analyzed using five different theories, which include formalism, two expression theories and two contextual theories. The chosen expression theories are Leo Tolstoy’s view based on his text “What is Art?” and the expression theory of O. K. Bouwsma laid out in his writing “Philosophical Essays”. For the contextual theories, Marxist Aesthetics and Danto’s theory of art will be used. In each section, “Eros Sleeping” will be discussed first, then “Composition V”.…
Composition it the arrangement of elements in art to create one flowing finished product. This is shown in Holbein’s painting of the German merchant. The shape of the man is one of a triangle, with his head being the top angle, and his arms reaching out to create the two side angles. The shape of Holbein’s painting draws attention to the face of the merchant, which is very unique. Georg Gisze has a large, hooked nose, and an apprehensive expression. The use of composition in Holbein’s painting reflects the spirit of the renaissance by expressing individualism. Georg Gisze has an unique and individualistic face, and Holbein decided to focus on him and his unique flaws. Not only did he draw Georg’s nose in all of it’s uniqueness, but he choose to draw attention to it by creating the composition in a triangle, with the focus being Georg’s…
This paper is a formal analysis of the Basket of Apples, a still life oil painting made by Paul Cézanne in 1895. The painting is about 25.6 inches tall times 31.5 inches wide. This composition illustrates a geometric spatial organization on disjointed perspectives. Although the artwork is absent of any symbolic and mythological content, its essence is to illustrate harmony of its various elements over subject matters. The systematic representation of shapes and colors are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable in this art piece. Repetitive round and angular shapes are dominant forms apparent within the work. These simple geometric shapes support the composition of structural regularity in the subjects of the painting. Furthermore, the artist skillfully employs effects of light and shade to make a simple shape such as a circle to look like an apple. However, the light is not evenly distributed as the objects in the right portion of the painting appears to be more luminous than the objects on the left side. The color is another very important element in the painting. The way the tonal patterns are distributed create color harmony. The painting does not utilize a wide range of colors, instead, the overall color arrangement is confined to a few cool and warm tones. The cool tone of the pearl white cloth, the plate and the grey wall are made to draw a distinct attention from the warm autumn-like tone of the other objects on the table and the table itself. Furthermore, complementary colors are also used to create contrast. This is evident in the placement of green and red apples inside the basket. However, the color contrast and transition are cleverly accomplished in a subtle manner. This complements the dominating use of analogous colors, such as red and orange, to achieve overall color harmonies in the painting. It is also worth noting that the color becomes more intense as the objects becomes smaller. Dabbing of uneven colors and visible brushstrokes are…
The purpose of this paper is analysis two forms or art. First I will explain who created each art piece; then I will describe what each art piece is and where each piece is located and finally I will tell where you can find each piece. Second I will attempt to explain what the artist is trying to communicate and how did the artist communicate his message. I will discuss how the two works of art made me feel and why. Thirdly I will address each piece of art value and what type of value worth and the significance the work holds. Then I will go on to explain what I think the 21st century Western society can learn from each piece, why or why not. Finally I will explain what another visitor thought of one of the two and have them answer the same question I just stated above.…
