    The desire for the finer things in life is eternal, and the strive for beauty and elegance can be seen in all ages. In regards to Islamic pottery, the elaborate and decorative nature of pieces from Kashan cannot be beaten. Now I will analyze a specific production from Kashan, a lustre bowl produced during the Seljuq Period (11th to 13th centuries), labeled as “Object D-12” in the UCSB Jewel Room and depicted below: In this image one can see the same line of eyebrows, drawn out eyes, and thin lips on the center figure that can also be seen on the polo player of Object D-12.

    Puesta De Sol 15 Analysis

    Diego Rivera’s artwork Puesta de sol 15 (Sunset 15) created in 1959 is a two dimensional painting created by using oil and tempera on cardboard, and is a prime piece that exemplifies my theme of nature through the seasons. This entire art project itself works together as a whole to create my theme, and Sunset 15 works to exemplify nature during the summer season. Sunsets are something typical of the summer season, and while Rivera’s take on a sunset is interesting, and uniquely different, we still get the point of how nature is envisioned during the summer months with the hot summer sun and its intense rays of light. The water is also an aspect of nature of and of summer time that exemplify the theme trying to be conveyed with this artwork.…

    The first sculpture or carved figure I am explaining, comparing, and contrasting is the Spirit Spouse. The Spirit Spouse is used to decorate with jewelry, take care with oil, and pray to. This particular African culture believes that you were in past life before the one we are currently living in. This culture believed that everyone had a spirt spouse. This replica is supposed to represent the spirt spouse in our previous lives. The better the figure looks is a indication that the owner takes care of the figure and praises it as well.…

    The art pieces I choose to analyze are two paired Star Tiles with Vegetal Motifs and Inscriptions. The evolution of the purpose of an artifact reveals the development of complexity within Islamic empires as time progresses. The first Islamic dynasties controlled large unified Islamic states and religious pieces served as the main type of art within their empires. The goal of the gallery layout is to display to an uninformed viewer the evolution of Islamic art over the course of a millennium, and to reveal the four unifying characteristics that emerged, figural representation, geometric patterns, vegetal patterns, and calligraphy (The Met). The first artifacts are the oldest and are only decorated with calligraphy. The pieces eventually progress to geometric and vegetal patterns. The last element to appear is figural representations, because they are the most complicated. The tiles contain three of these main characteristics; calligraphy, vegetal patterns, and geometric patterns.…

    The image I have chosen to present is of a contemporary Egyptian style vase made in 1990. The vase is an exquisite piece done in lapis blue porcelain and lavished with 24 karat gold. The “Palette of King Narmer” which is the class example bears more contrast than similarity from the contemporary vase. As opposed to the vase, the palette is an actual ancient artifact that depicts the Egyptian culture of its time. The vase on the other hand is merely an artistic piece that aims to depict version of the ancient Egyptian culture. The similarity in the two pieces is that they both have hieroglyphs marked on them purposefully to tell a story. However, the hieroglyphs on palette specifically serve as historical records of King Narmer’s reign.…
