The Color Gold Analysis
What I saw was a beautiful lady who was wearing this amazing golden dress that had one of a kind detail. What i found incredible was that in the painting there was so much of the color gold. One of the things that came to my head was the hair that the lady had and color of her skin she seem so pale.
Also in her dress what i see see like patterns of eye all over her dress.. Including the background he uses this type of patterns i feel like they are small little shape. In general i see lots of shape in the background. In this case i feel like he uses non-objective in this painting.In addition the lady name is Adele Bloch-Bauer and she was born in February 18 in 1916 in Vienna Austria.On the other hand the artist name is Gustav Klimt who drew

    He is perhaps challenging the viewer to see more that physical beauty but rather an internal need to be desired regardless of our outer shell or weathered state.

    The whole point of this experiment was to create gold that wasn’t the colour gold. The aim was to find out how a variable amount of sodium citrate would change the colour of a gold solution. Meaning the hypothesis was: if more sodium citrate is added the nano particle size will increase and the colour of the gold solution will move towards the red end of the spectrum.…

    The painting consists of a very blue color scheme throughout. This is, in most cases, associated with coldness and sometimes death. The dark blue background also, as mentioned above, provided almost an extreme contrast. In addition to the background, her hair also dark. Had he chosen blonde hair, the contrast would dulled. Most importantly, the girl’s eyeliner very much brings out her eyes. It is strategically placed on her waterlines rather than lids to accentuate her eyeballs and provide incredibly sharp corners to her eyes. The coldness and “deathly” tone of the painting manifests an eerie and dangerous theme. The contrast and accentuation of the girl and her eyes inclines the audience to be intrigued by the girls fearlessness in a cold and deathly…

    The painting tells the story of Beauty and the Beast in one image. It reminds me that love comes in all shapes and sizes and that you shouldn’t judge a person by their appearances. Not everyone is who you think they are at first glance. I love…

    What struck me when I first saw this painting, other than the pretty flower garland, is how brightly illuminated she was. Her porcelain skin is highlighted as if the sun or some form of light shines down on her. This is in contrast to everything else being much darker. The contrast between her bright aura and the dark surroundings could the author’s way of symbolizing Madame de Thorigny’s status and wealth. It could also be a way of emphasizing her being the focal point of the painting. I noticed her gaze…

    William G. T. once said that “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are for.” This shows up in Jason’s Gold by Will Hobbs when Jason leaves his hard earned life in New York, and travels across the nation up to the Klondike to find his brothers and gold. He finds that his brothers already are up in the Klondike, but still ignores the possibility of staying home in favor of taking the dangerous journey up there. As he travels, he winds up trapped in a cabin for the winter, barely survives, and soon after quickly leaves the cabin, and reaches the shores of Dawson City, where he finds his brothers have created a saw mill instead of a gold mine.…

    On first look at the painting, we give our attention to the isolated woman in the middle of the work. The woman is the largest feature of the painting and is the focal point of all other elements found in the painting. The woman is portrayed as someone of great importance. The woman is clothed in a flowing white…

    While each of the artists Titian and Klimt choose to paint portraits of women that possessed wealth and beauty, there are noticeably clear differences amongst the art works. First looking at the portrait of Isabelle d’Este, one can see she is depicted in a very clear manner, standing out against a dark black background. This technique allowed Titian to make Isabelle d’Este’s face the focal point of the painting. The fine intricate detail Titian put into Isabelle, from her hair to her clothes, gives the image more of a sense of realism and life likeness. Klimt on the other hand casted Adele’s full body against a background of rectangular shapes filled with colors and images. The curves of her figure breaking the geometric shapes makes her standout in the painting. As Isabelle is captured very defined and life like, Adele is illustrated in a more artful and abstract manner.…

    What first catches the viewer 's eyes are the vivid colors used in the painting. Ultimately what jumps out the most is the man on the right 's red robe. The artist intended this for a reason, discussed later. The room where the men are standing is front lit. Also the atmosphere is not hazy. There is no hint of sffumato. It is very much unlike the Romantic works produced earlier in the century. Rather the edges of the figures and of other objects in the picture plane are clearly defined. The artist "renders every object in the painting with meticulous clarity" (Smith 1). To see this work in person is really quite impressive. The painter has achieved a great sense of depth in the painting, as well as a strikingly realistic quality. The picture taken for this paper from the Albright-Knox 's web page simply does not do this work justice. One 's experience of standing in front of this painting is that of awe. The artist has depicted everything in the scene so realistically, and yet has made it look better than it probably did in real life. Everything in the painting has a rich, glowing quality about it.…

    Frost’s poems could be considered pessimistic or realistic. I think that the poem was expressing reality. It was balancing negative and positive aspects. For example in the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay”, it shows the beauty as a rarity but also demonstrates that it existed. Another example is the poem “Birches”, which the boy took time away from his life filled with tasks to have fun climbing the birches.…

    They were put in the care of two 16-year-old girls. Edith can remember her mother crying and her father looking stern. She doesn't think she and her sister, who was two years younger than Edith, really understood what happened. Nazi officials got onto the train at the German border to make sure the children didn't take any valuables with them, though they were more interested in the older girls than Edith and her sister. The children were allowed one small case between them. Edith had a doll and both she and her sister were wearing little rings, along with a tiny necklace that Edith's mother had given her which she kept well hidden.”…

    Klimt was known for the symbolism in his work and working with the “Art Nouveau” movement that made him establish a rather gold rich, erotic atmosphere in his paintings, the same atmosphere that we later on see and feel in some of Egon Schiele’s painting and drawings. Schiele however was more into a different movement that also reflected on his work, which was the expressionists movement. Both Klimt and Schiele were highly interesting in understanding the female figure, not as an anatomy but rather as a sensual and erotic manner, even though people considered it as pornographic images, to them it was considered art. Schiele drew the body in a more disproportional, abstract way while Klimt was more into highlighting the features and hidden deforms, nonetheless at the end they both came up with a similar result.…

    Marie Antoinette

    • 4 Pages

    Often, it is difficult to tell exactly what is going on in Karen Kilimnik’s paintings. Being that the title of her paintings never really match the face in the painting, she kind of play around with it. In this painting “Marie Antoinette out for a Walk at her Petite Hermitage, France, 1750, was painted in 2005 is a portrait of Paris Hilton. She is been portrait as Marie Antoinette, which some people might find distasteful because of Paris Hilton’s reputation. She looked out of place and doesn’t go well with the background. Don’t get me wrong, she is beautifully painted, with her pinkish skin, brightly demanding acknowledgment from the viewer. She is the brightest object in the painting. With her long flowing blond hair, from the top of her head, tucked behind her right ear exposing the right side of her face more so than the left side, being held back by some type of a purple bowtie shape pin, with a couple strings of hair on her right shoulder, passing by her long eccentric neck, to her bare shoulders leading your eyes down to her arm anticipating what the rest of her unfinished body parts might look like. She has deep piercing blue eyes, not quite looking at you but as thought looking through you. Not in a way like she’s trying to intimidate or feeling superiorly, but in a warm way, charming the viewer, forcing you to accept her in the role of being Marie Antoinette, flirting you into liking her or just enjoying the scenery of viewing you while you are viewing her. She has piercing red lip stick showing the fullness of her lips, which have a flirtatious smirk to it which goes with her eyes drawing the viewer in. She has a white and purple dress on with flower designs that match with the purple ribbon in her hair. She is in the foreground and mid-ground of the painting, dead center, right in your face…

    I believe this painting shows a loss of identity. This is the reason I chose this as my favorite piece of art, because I can relate to it. There came a time in my life where I was struggling with my own identity. In today's world it is very significant to identify oneself with at least one thing (ones ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, or a particular belief). Many people still grapple with the notion of identity in many countries, regions, and various ways in order to fit or adapt into any environment (social, economic, cultural, political, etc). One’s identity determines ones position or situation in society wherever one lives. However, finding the right type of…
