In short, from Basquiat's work, I would say the man is brilliant, but the movie's interpretation I would think otherwise. In the beginning of the movie, young Basquiat was presented with a crown on his head to symbolize the greatness he had in store. Through out the movie, he mad amazing art, but the character portrayed was not what I saw on his canvases. The film's interpretation made him seem like a child (which is fairly represented in his work). Basquiat in the film made many dumb decisions such as using drugs, being unfaithful to his girlfriend, and loosing out on a friend because of an article in a tabloid. And this version of him makes me question, does he really create art? Or just scribbles of an intoxicated "man-child" And I come
At first glance I would describe this artwork as a busy piece of art, but taking a closer look I think the painting gives off a happy, positive and united feeling. The artwork overall is very detailed and there are many hidden messages making it something inspirational. I really like inspiring or any art with a deep meaning behind it. It gives off something even more special when there's a hidden important lesson in the artwork, which this painting has. All in all,
“Basquiat, The Radiant Child” is a documentary about a young artist of the early 2000’s. This young artist left home to begin his journey; he started out as a bum with nothing and became a street artist. Obviously, Basquiat was very driven by his work otherwise he wouldn’t have taken such a big risk. For this reason, many people were inspired by him and loved what he was doing. I however wasn’t a big fan of his. Throughout the documentary his friends and other artist talk about how he would pretty much mooch off of other people; although his friends said it in a nicer way. He even told his girlfriend that he couldn’t work because he didn’t like how people treated him, so she had to pay for their rent on her own. I personally felt like this
Logos: Bisclavaret’s spouse can claim that she was terrified and was only looking out for her safety, but there is no evidence that Bisclavaret ever displayed any violent behavior. He kept his secret contained and his spouse was unaware of this secret. There was no evidence showing that there was any type of aggressive or violent behavior towards any human being. “For three whole days in every week her lord was absent from her side. She knew not where he went, nor on what errand. Neither did any of his house know the business which called him forth.” With that being said, Bisclavaret did not show any sign of violent behavior during that time.
On the whole, Bisclavaret loved his wife enough to trust her with his life; Paragraph 3 states, “All his love was set on her.” However, his wife betrayed him anyway, which is what prompted Bisclavaret’s anger and led him to attack her and her current husband. He did not harm without reason, nor had he harmed anyone prior to the offense currently being debated. Bisclavaret was honest, and the text makes the point that, “None had reason to do him wrong, for ever was he about his master, and for his part did evil to none.” While Bisclavaret attacked his former wife and her current husband, he only did so out of the pain and harm done to him by their wrongdoings and betrayal. Based on the evidence provided, Bisclavaret is indeed innocent, and it
When Jean-Michel Basquiat was invigorating the oppressed art movement of street art, Madonna was an upcoming singer. After a couple of years, and while he was creating amongst, with and for the LA and New York’s art elite, Madonna was still an unknown but aspiring entertainer and they were together.
I feel like in some of his work, people may be very offended by his work because of the message that it showing to people. Take Jillian Steinhauer’s critique for example, when she says “What does it mean to put a young black man on a horse and call him Napoleon? If it isn’t dangling a fantasy and false hope, then at least it implies that young urban blacks are in desperate need of uplift. You call that empowerment?” (Steinhauer 1). Steinhauer is explaining that many different people question and criticize Wiley’s work because they do not understand the message that Wiley is trying to show. Steinhauer wants to question the audience of what is the point of doing these kind of paintings. His paintings should not be based on just colored people, but more of the other races as well. I also think that he can do some black and white paintings as well as dark colored paintings for a change because most of his paintings are made with bold and bright colors. His paintings can also be expressed in different colors instead of just relying on bold colors to make his painting stand out. Another negative critique I have about him is that in most of his paintings uses either a floral and regal background, and it gets too repetitive and boring sometimes. Sometimes it doesn’t matches the aura of what the original painting. I feel like his
2. My first first reaction to the painting was a mixture of confusion and curiosity. I was really curious about how Basquait felt while making the painting.
The beginning of an appreciation always starts with the most basic of trends in a painting. Though they seem axiomatic in nature, they are in reality very important and not as obvious if one is truly vigilant. The painting was slightly large and had dimensions that were approximately five feet by twelve feet. By looking closely at the painting using sharp eyes one could tell that Volaire used oil on the canvas. The framing used was apparently vintage (as I was told by a vehement supervisor, unhappy that I touched the frame) and came from the late seventeen hundreds. What was also learned was that vintage
He is an inconstant director as far as movies go. Sometimes we can be in awe in movies like "Gladiator" or "Alien", but sometimes he just goes in a different direction with his movies and does not give the aesthetic look or craftsmanship that he has in general. This time he makes it simple, he has been accustomed to make space movies and this time he is able to make it work for a degree of realism that none of his other space movies has. Scott does a great job in this movie, it is not a masterpiece, but it is one of the best space dramas out there.
I was surfing the internet the other day looking for famous art work. I came across a painting that was intriguing , and so delicate. The design was created by Edouard Manet. He is a famous painter that lived in the 1800's. He was known for many works of art for instance Saturn Devouring His Son 1819-23. Oil on canvas 56.2 x 31.8 in 143 x 81 cm, this one in particular is very dark , and somewhat sinister also magnificent at the same time. A Bar at the Folies-Bergère is by far my favorite. It was created between 1881-82 it was also his last work of art.
Art is a persons’ opinion. The definition of art is the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance. There is no real definition for what is beautiful or appealing to the human eye. Banksy is said to be an artist by some and a graffiti lawbreaker by others. Basically, it is up to the person to define Banksy as someone who is doing the right thing verses doing the wrong thing. Banksy creates his graffiti pictures to make a stand for what he believes is the right way to look at controversial issues. Some people may not like Banksy’s graffiti because they do not have the same views as him. Some people might
When I was younger, I remember going the Salvador Dali Museum. The one piece of art work that stood out the most to me was The Hallucinogenic Toreador. I was so captivated by all the busy things going on in the painting that I took the time to try to study them. It was pleasing to me because it kept me, in a way, guessing. Almost like solving a meticulous puzzle is the empathy in this. What was his destination in the piece? I would consider this a masterpiece. It has a hidden message that only few people would take the time to read and try to understand it, and that being said, makes it more of a marvel to me. I absolutely would consider Salvador Dali a giant of his time. Almost like a matriarch of surreal art. His ideas and concepts are something
Studies have been made to explain this portraits almost universal appeal, but what criteria’s can an art critic use to judge a painting? Critics are not like scientists. They cannot set up controlled experiment’s in which a number of stimulus are shot into subject’s and data collected on the subject’s reactions. No, an art critic relays on inner emotions and sensitivity when analyzing a painting. Analyses of a painting is very personal.
Jean-Michel Basquiat emerged from the punk scene in New York as a street-smart graffiti artist. He successfully crossed over his downtown origins to the international art gallery circuit. Basquiat’s work is one of the few examples of how an early 1980’s American graffiti-based could become a fully recognized artist. Despite his work’s unstudied appearance, Basquiat very skillfully and purposefully brought together in his art a host of disparate traditions, practices and styles to create a unique kind of visual collage. His work is an example of how American artists of the 1980’s could reintroduce the human figure in their work after the wide success of minimalism and conceptualism.
The lines of the art piece are thin, structural and curved. The art is dark and dull but looks very realistic. Just looking at the piece it feels rough because it is like you are walking on top of rocks. You are looking at it from a top perspective so you can see bigger stones around the little pebbles. It is a two dimensional drawing of a three dimensional figure. I would say his pattern and unity are good because it
