Hopper chose to paint a scene located at a sharply-angled street-corner‚ rather than at one of New York’s many right-angled intersections. This choice was not unusual for Hopper‚ who painted a number of other scenes of this kind of corner (see Office at Night (1940)). A sharp corner gave him the opportunity to display his subjects from a nearly frontal point of view‚ and also allowed him to display the dimly visible street scene behind the patrons. Hopper often painted scenes in which a part of the

I chose to write about Van Gogh’s Starry Night‚ because I think that this painting is one of the greater pioneer forms of abstract art. Van Gogh’s rendering of the world the way that he perceived it‚ blended with his own stigmatic emotion‚ is evidenced by his abstract depiction of this small village in the south of France; Starry Night is aesthetically‚ artistically‚ and technically unique. Starry night is a depiction of an actual village that Van Gogh visited during his lifetime. At the risk

The Shoe-Horn Sonata written by John Misto creates images through distinctively visual elements. Through the use of projected images‚ carefully selected music and descriptive dialogue‚ challenging aspects of life can be represented. An image we see early on in the play is Singapore Harbour burning down in 1942 when the Japanese first invaded. This is shown as Bridie and Shelia are discussing their experiences on the boats. This shows the ignorance of the British as they did not evacuate the women

Walter Podbielski Professor Harris HUMN 420 Week 3 assignment 01/26/08 For week 3 assignment I chose the Van Gough painting and the corresponding poem “The StarryNight” by Anne Sexton. The poem references death rather frequentlyand I think that night in some way goes hand in hand with death. In contrast morning and daylight give way to life‚ the flowers opening up to the sun’s warmth and birds awaking; the day begins. The painting shows a town at night‚ which is asleep‚ quiet and peaceful. During

The artist‚ Frank Hyder created this painting in 1988 on approximately 5’ by 7’ carved masorite panels with acrylic paint. This piece was especially interesting due to the canvas it was painted on.

Georges Seurat’s painting of “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte -1884’” depicts tranquilize people located on the island of La Grande Jatte. Looking closer into the background there are soldiers and regular looking people in the back with one typical guy with higher class people in the foreground. It like a unanimity between social class to enjoy a sunny day on a island. Looking closely into the painting there are tiny strokes of lines creating leaves on the ground and on the tree‚ but also everywhere
