Joslyn Art Museum I recently took a trip to the Joslyn Art Museum and was very impressed with the art‚ mainly the paintings. I had never really been to an art museum just to look around but I found that a lot of the paintings used the techniques that we discussed in class. I will be analyzing three paintings Fallen Angels by Francois Cibot‚ Saint Francis in Prayer by El Greco and Sacred Conversation- Madonna‚ Child‚ Saints and Donor by Giovani di Niccolo Mansueti. One of the most interesting

University Art Museum: Case study: The problem with this organization is quite simply that the campus does not know what thegoals of the museum and its associated faculty are or should be. This is a fundamental flaw in therunning of any organization‚ be it bureaucratic of collectivist. The museums goals had rested with thecurator‚ Miss Kirkhoff‚ who has been the most influential individual in the museums history.

Derain’s Turning Road and Benton’s Haystack After visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston for the first time‚ I observed many interesting works of art representing various time periods. Of all the paintings that I saw last week‚ two landscaped pieces seemed to stick out in my mind; Andre Derain’s The Turning Road and Thomas Hart Benton’s Haystack. Though these two art works are similar in subject matter‚ they clearly reflect the different styles and time periods of their artists; the abstract

Art is portrayed in so many different views. When looking at each piece of art and its cultural background I was interested to see more. I enjoyed each piece of art and the inspiration behind it was even more eye opening to me. There is a historical perspective behind each piece of art and we as people have not taken the time to see how art was started. I have never looked at art in such a serious way until now‚ being able to see such a wide variety of art and how each piece was created was very

The exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500.

Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea

During a recent visit to the San Antonio Museum of Art‚ I was able to view many pieces and types of artwork. This particular museum exhibits pieces that come from the period of the Ancient Egyptians all the way up to modern art. It was a very interesting experience and one that I would definitely like to repeat in the future. The piece that was most interesting to me was a Roman floor mosaic that depicts The Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs. A mosaic is a picture or pattern created by fixing together

On a recent visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art‚ I took a tour of the museum with a lecturer. During the tour‚ the leader lectured on particular paintings. She told the know history behind each shown painting. She also gave the history of the period in which the painting was painted.
