Vyse: Harry Parr Chanticoler
Parr Chanticleer
It appears that Harry Parr, knowing Vyse’s penchant for modelling fauns and animals, he could not resist having a jibe at ‘pompous Vyse,’ especially at the Royal Academy, and as he remarked to his son Malcom, ‘I’m not done with debunking Vyse’. From his studio adjacent to Vyse, he sent in two exhibits to the RA. A promotional photo-card, dated 1927, illustrates one of Parr’s exhibits, a pottery group titled Chanticleer (RA1572). The subject is a handsome boy mounted on a speckled cockerel (Fig. 79). The 1928 coloured photograph shows a cockerel decorated in blues and lavender. From this evidence, one can assume that Parr made at least two different coloured versions of Chanticleer. The composition is a variation of Parr’s figure

    Gerrit Van Honthorst: Art Analysis

    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…

    Viking Vase Analysis

    Engraved, chased, and etched, the interlacing Celtic-like scrolls and knots wrap delicately and symmetrically around the vessel. Serpentine handles flank the widest and uppermost portion of the vase while twin stylized bird head figures frame the rim. In the center of the vase sits a stylized Viking-like mask or helmet. Symmetrically placed gemstones adorn the vase from the rim to the foot, while contrasting matte lavender, light green, and golden yellow enamels sit just behind the gleaming silver scroll patterns and echo the colors of the gemstones.…

    Cullen Sculpture Garden Analysis

    Far from trying to transcend the natural setting, the sculpture seems to already be beaten and worn by the elements. It is a slab of stone, slightly curved. It is corten steel, with different colors of black, blue, purple, white, and various other grainy shades. Of all the pieces in the garden, this one seems least like a piece of art, and more like a misplaced piece of décor. The most surreal of the pieces in the garden is Frank Stella’s Decanter. It is metal affixed to a straight backdrop. There is a broad silver ring, with a backdrop of twisting blackness, and striped triangles created in such a way that they seem to have the depth of cones. Lastly that stood out is David Smith’s Two Circle Sentinel. It is a myriad of square sheets, curving scraps, and two circular adornments. The “sentinel” resides on a square podium. Outside the ridges of metal cast dramatic shadows on the steel, and it would no doubt look amazing in the rain, with water running down one ridge to the…

    Pueblo Maiden Essay

    At the Montclair Art Museum, located in the Rand Gallery of Native American Art, there is a tall statue made of Bronze and Jetulong wood, standing tall behind a glass case, called Pueblo Maiden. The figure is long and lean, and towers over many of the other artifacts in the gallery. The bronze color of the figure is constant throughout the sculpture. The head is small and round. The hairstyle is short and square shaped. It is similar to a women’s “bob” hairstyle with bangs that covers the figures forehead and ears. The surface of sculpture is smooth. The face features two indentations which look like closed eyes and a rectangle shape for the nose but there is no indentation for a mouth. The head of the figure rests on a narrow shaped neck.…

    Ancient Art: Grave Stele of a Little Girl

    This Greek sculpture carved with parian marble was found on the island of Paros in 1775 and consists of a young girl wearing a woolen garment with her head bowed giving her farewell to two pet doves. The young girl’s facial expression is strong, yet somber while she holds one dove close to her serene face, while the other dove rests on the young girl’s left hand (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000). This sculpture would have been established in Greek cemeteries in memory of the deceased and symbolizes a young girl’s love for her pets and expresses emotion. The surface of the marble used to carve this sculpture is smooth and has a visual quality that is a representational illusion (Sayre, 2007). This particular work of art fits into the context of the time period primarily because the sculpture was carved at a time when decorated gravestones did not appear in Athens and parian marble was highly prized in antiquity (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000). This Grave monument of a young girl depicts her as she would have been in life, which during the 5th century; the deceased were able to be identified by more than their gender and occupation, but also by their age.…

    Norton Museum

    When taking a trip to the Norton Museum of Art I chose a one dimensioned painting called Adam that was located on the first floor. The artist is Nicholas Carone and was painted in 1956. To the left of the painting, Adam, was another painting named Personage which was painted by Robert Mothewell in 1943. Personage is an abstract oil painting on canvas with multiple different colors. To the right of Adam was a sculpture called Sea Quarry and was created by Theodore Roszak. The sculpture was not an obvious choice that it was a sea animal at first. I had to stand there for a minute and really look at the sculpture to being to see what it was really intended for the sculpture to be. Returning to my original choice, Adam by Nicholas Carone, it is also an oil painting done on canvas. Carone first started with a plane black picture and continued to manipulate it with white paint color and other lines using different thick and thin brushes. The picture was made to represent and recreate light and shadow but is opaque. It uses several different elements of art including color, value, line, shape, and space. “Adam”s composition is curved lines and is known as an Abstract Expressionism type of art.…

    Hall Of the Bulls, Lascaux

    This magnificent painting dates back to Lascaux, France 15,000-13,000 B.C.E. It was found on cave walls and it is said to represent one of the earliest examples of artistic expression. We can see that this piece was created during the Paleolithic period because; they are images walls using paint on limestone. We can see that the primitive people used natural rock contours, which suggested the animal’s volumes and portrayed real representations of a major role in their lives, which were the animals. We can see horses, bulls, deer, cows and more animals on the walls of these caves. Furthermore, the images of the animals are…

    Gwen Harwood Analysis

    Gwen Harwood Analysis

    In “The Violets,” the persona experiences a transition from childhood innocence to experience, sparking the process of maturation. This idea of childhood innocence is a Romantic ideal, and the process of growth that one experiences from this state of innocence to adulthood takes place when the persona learns about the inevitability of time. The dialogue, “Where’s morning gone?” is representative of this realisation, with the rhetorical question reflecting the child’s confusion at this stage of life when one is innocent and unburdened by certain mature knowledge. Also, the noun, “thing,” in the emotive lines, “used my tears to scold the thing that I could not grasp or name that, while I slept, had stolen from me,” refers to time and its namelessness symbolises the fact that it is abstract and unreturning, and incomprehensible to a child. This is what makes a child innocent and, Romantically invested; this is what Harwood is shown to value through her poetry. The emotive word, “tears,” and the dramatic verb, “stolen,” further exemplifies the harsh realities that accompany maturation and signify a loss of innocence. In these lines of the third stanza, there is a tone of sadness and despondency as the persona comes to terms with what the inevitability of time means for one’s life: that, regardless of when the process of maturation begins, one’s time is always limited. As Harwood’s poetry deals with the significant universal themes of personal growth, maturation and loss of innocence…
