For my written analysis, I found this beautiful painting by artist Andrew Palyanov, called Final Boat. The atmospheric perspective of this piece is haunting, demonstrating implied depth and distance despite the fog that only partially obscures the autumn setting. Vertical placement is well-represented, first with a majestic tree closest to the foreground, so close that we can see the details of each leaf and branch. Additionally, the foreground contains a small rowboat, as well as the shallows of the water where tree branches are reflected from directly above. In the middle ground are the gazebo, as well as still more trees on a spit of land that jutts out into the water to overlap the trees on the far side.…
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.…
One thing that is most apparent in the poem and the painting alike is the weather conditions. Both detail the rough seas, coldness,…

I had the pleasure of visiting Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University. I was even lucky enough to have Ulrika show us some of the art around the museum. We toured ‘The George Riabov Collection of Russian Art’ and saw many beautiful pieces of art. Perhaps my favorite piece of art that I viewed was “Stage for Korobochka.” This is a tempera and gouache on board painting created by Serge Soudeikine.…
From the origins of the human species, the man (the woman also) has always tried to create beauty, to do something that differentiated them from the rest and that attracted attention. Already in prehistory, cave paintings were a clear example and a demonstration that man tries to instinctively create beauty, and, in part, that is one of the qualities that differentiates us from animals. Throughout history, this quality has characterized the human species, who have left us millions of representations of what we nowadays call art. Last week I went to visit the Norton Museum, it was a great experience for me, the staff was friendly and always ready to help and give me explanations and information about what seemed to be incomprehensible to me.…
In The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago is challenged to fight his way through multiple forces. Him trying to overcome these obstacles are not just because of the threat to his survival. He does it for his own personal content and confidence. All throughout the book, the Old Man has to face the power of the Marlin, the sharks, the ocean, and his lack of energy. His peaceful fishing adventure changed to a not so happily ever after ending, unfortunately. Without breaking down these barriers one at a time, Santiago would never have been able to progress like he did. Though he did not end up bringing home the Marlin as proof, Santiago is motivated with his determination.…
The Sunset Heights composition made me feel special because I kind of know where the painting took place and I also noticed the “La X”, Juarez monument, on it too. In the other hand, there was works of art that I could not relate to and they were harder to understand. For example, Magic Bus was a complex painting and it had more variety than any other work of art in his exhibition. There is a colorful bus in the middle of the painting with people inside including a king and a queen, then outside the bus we had like circus people preforming, and there were musicians on top of the bus. Also the background was strange as well, we had the sun in one corner and the moon in the other side and there was a rainbow in between them, there was fish at the bottom and stars at the top. I took the longest in this painting, even at the end I was still confused and did not understand the purpose of this painting.…
Travelers among Mountains and Streams is comprised of several design elements. Form, leading lines, and shape. These design elements move the eye throughout the painting in a continuous interaction between the elements. Each section is well balanced and rich in content. The large mountain in the foreground sets the foundation for the painting by serving as a barrier, keeping the viewers eyes from leaving the page. The area showing the travelers moving in the stream sets a sense of motion, engaging the eye to travel through the painting. The grand scale of all the elements inspire the viewer to be transported into the realm of fantasy promoted by Northern Song painters. The painting takes on a naturalistic feel that is derived from the combination of paint, ink, and silk. The people and mules moving through the stream bring a sense of scale to the painting. They are an important element in that they are in direct comparison to the large Mountain. The helps promote the idea that there is something bigger than all of of us and that humans are somehow spiritually connected to the earth. An important idea that Northern Song Artist aspired to communicate through ere work. The painting is done in a realistic approach yet is not set in a specific place further enhancing the dream like quality meant to promote spiritual communication and enlightenment. This interpretation is about the balance between the countryside and mans attempt to conquer it brought to life in the form of a painting by Fan Kuan. In the painting the small humans are engulfed by the enormous mountains giving the effect of unattainability, yet the human spirit to conquering the elements arises out of the need explore. The human and animals traveling through the stream give the…
There are several elements Anglo-Saxon lyrics contain, but as seen in poems such as “The Seafarer”, “The Wanderer”, and “The Wife’s Lament”, exile is one of the most prominent elements. Anglo-Saxons wrote about exile because it was something they all feared. They were terrified of the thought of being left alone, or being kicked out of their own home. Anglo-Saxons placed a tremendous amount of emphasis on a sense of belonging, which is why exile was such a threat to them. In the poems “The Seafarer”, “The Wanderer”, and “The Wife’s Lament”, the main characters have been exiled, all for different reasons and in different ways.…
The “Landslide” painting is unique in itself but also shares some characteristics with Chiura Obata’s “Sunset Water Tower.” This painting is similar in that it was done with watercolor on paper, has a horizontal orientation and was done in the same time period; 1943. This painting differs however with the use of light, colors, use of line and theme. This painting is of a water tower in the middle of a field, with farms surrounding it and mountains in the background, giving it a variety of landscape. It also has a sunset overtop of the water tower leading into light clouds. Hence the name “Sunset Water Tower.” The use of line is very noticeable in this painting. “Sunset Water Tower” is more acceptable in which the time period it was created. The lines are symmetrical with more use of lighter colors. This work of art follows on a horizontal line in which one can see because of the sunset.…
Many times throughout Anglo-Saxon literature, exile has been a prevalent detail which set a deep, dark tone for the story which would follow. These stories typically follow a character exiled by a circumstance, unable to return to their life prior. In The Wanderer, the main character is alone due to all his people dying. With his kinsman and his lord dead, he has nowhere to go, and nobody to go to. He spends his time drifting, lamenting over his past while in search of a new lord.…
The wanderer asks the Lord for pity and understanding, but sometimes he must take to the sea and become an exile. This is fate, and it cannot be avoided.…
“Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.” Robert Henri statement not only applies to himself but it also explains many other human’s feelings towards the ocean. This passion is significant in “The Seafarer” by an anonymous Anglo-Saxon scop. “The Seafarer” intertwines the positives and negatives of a life at sea. The story goes through the sacrificial day to day life of a sailor. The voyages cause many controversial scenarios in the sailor’s life. Although sailing a life at sea is very interfering to a normal life, the Seafarer still loves the life he lives and also finds himself on a much deeper spiritual level than any ocean depth he has ever came across.…
