    "The Tube Train" by Cyril E.Powers

    When I was skimming pages when I saw this big painting the one that caught my eye right away. "The Tube Train" by Cyril E.Powers about 1934 (pg.203). I was so fascinated with this image, the urban theme and the nice colors. I notice the use of complementary colors; most of the picture is done in yellows and dark violets and reds which are all on opposite sides of the color wheel.…

    The style of this painting is abstract with simplified and exaggerated aspects. The water and sailboats have all been simplified. The boats that are closer to the front of the painting have been exaggerated more than the others in the distance. There are many horizontal lines within the painting created with the hard, exaggerated brush strokes in the water.…

    San Diego Timken Museum Analysis

    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…

    Just a little bit off from the middle of the painting there is a structure not unlike Stone Hedge in England on top of a hill. Below it there is a river with small sailing ships going around, and on the bank there is a village filled with lots of wooden structures and even further left you can see a man using oxen to plow a field. On the other side of the painting you can see another section of the river where a larger sailing ship is being constructed on its…

    This piece of art was created by Claude Monet. He is known as the classic impressionist. In this painting, he captures the ever-changing nature of light and color. Unlike a lot of paintings, you can see the brush strokes in this painting. But I believe that the brush strokes used help create the piece of art and they help show the leaves and flowers on the trees. Also, it helps make the clouds in the sky look more hazy and beautiful.…

    French Gothic Cathedrals

As the famous architectural style, the Gothic style was originated from France. In this essay, French gothic and English gothic have been selected to demonstrate how two historical periods can have many differences but still remain true to their own religious variations, architectural features and functions and meanings to create insightful parallels. Five of the French cathedrals and one of the English cathedrals have been selected to represent French and English gothic periods respectively, including Notre-Dame Cathedral (Figure 1), Chartres Cathedral (Figure 2), Amiens Cathedral (Figure 3), Beauvais Cathedral (Figure…

    The painting by Jacob Lawrence GOING HOME, (1946), is an amazing painting. When I first looked at this painting the first thought that came to my mind was the musicians were on a train on their way home, feeling exhausted having just finished playing at a night club. The train seats are green; this is the first color that captures your eyes. The color of the seats along with some of the red luggage gives the impression of the mood as being calm and relaxed. Over to the left of the picture in the upper hand corner there is a silhouette of the sun going down, but when looking through the windows the color blue is showing the outside scenery as if the night is approaching.…

    Mexican Muralism

    Mexican muralism offers us one of the most politically charged and expressive art forms of the 20th century. David Alfaro Siqueiros and Jose Clemente Orozco are two of the three so called triumvirate of Mexican Muralists, the third being Diego Rivera. Both of the artists have a unique style and a strong sense of morals and political ideals. Their styles are similar in the sense of the amount of expression and movement in their pieces They also share a common ideology that shows up often in their work. Siqueiros’ Portrait of the Bourgeoisie and New Democracy along with Orozco’s American Civilization and Catharsis show you a great cross section of Mexican Muralism, revealing the passions and beliefs of the time period.…
