Adele Bloch-Bauer

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

The painting that I chose to write my formal analysis on is called “The Café Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, At Night”. This piece was created by Vincent Van Gogh in Arles, France and was completed sometime in September of 1888. This painting is oil on canvas, and it is currently housed in the Kroller-Muller Museum located in Otterlo, The Netherlands in Europe.

I went to the Art Walk event in Newberg and stopped by the Art Elements Gallery. I wanted to find a work that calls to me. At first I didn’t find much. The art was nice, but I didn’t get any special feelings on them. Finally, I spotted an oil painting on a wrapped canvas. It was called Full Moon. The work was created by Oregon citizen, Marilyn Higginson. It’s still hard to express what I felt when I saw this painting, but I felt a sense of peace when I saw the tranquil setting of the painting. My aesthetic scanning will give a description of the work, analyze the craftsmanship, the art elements, the art principles, and give my interpretation on the work.

When I was walking around looking at the different artworks, and determining which work of art I was going to write about, I stumbled upon The Watermill with the Great Red Roof. At first glance, it really pulled me in and made me think about what this painting meant. My thoughts about this painting were that it made me feel calm and relaxed like a Sunday afternoon. The colors were muted greens, browns, oranges, and yellows, and this painting looked like it was rural landscape, which had very full and dramatic trees. It rather reminded me of the Disney movie, The Sleeping Beauty, this painting reminded me of the house Aurora lived in, they both look similar to me. This art piece pulled me in and made me want to visit the place Meindert Hobbema painted. The first word that popped in my head looking at this was, beautiful. It was so simple, yet complex. Moreover, it was like nothing I have ever seen before.

Just like gesture and pose, we can see how certain aspects of a painting can hint to us who the figures are in a painting. We can also see how religion is portrayed in different ways even within the same religion

These two portraits of Isabelle d’Este and Adele Bloch-Bauer are very similar yet very different. They are both very good representations of what life used to be like many years ago. These to people looks like they lived in two different areas. This is known because of the way these two dress. They have clothes that are worn by wealthy people in their time period along with other similarities and the differences between the two portraits.

The purpose of this essay is to fully employ all of the new observational skills that I have learned from the start of the semester to now. With that in mind, I was feeling very excited to use these new “abilities” as I was observing art. The San Diego Museum of Art was very interesting indeed, and I have never experienced art in such a way that is sort of hard to describe. The museum had paintings and galleries ranging from the Renaissance era all the way to the eighteenth century and even Impressionism and Post-Impressionism as well. However, my eyes instantly caught Henri Matisse’s painting, Bouquet, this painting had so many details, elements, and meanings as well as similar characteristics from past chapters that I have read this semester.

I agree with Walton that there is such a difference between what viewers see in photographs and paintings. When someone looks at a photograph of a person, they are seeing that person in a fixed way, a real representation. However, a painting of a person, even if not intended, is not going to be as clear and explicit as a

The function and materiality of paint is emphasized when it can be identified on a painting. There are other differences between the painters portraits.

The painting appears to be light, open, and airy. The colors in the painting add a realistic effect, and the light falls on the objects in realistic proportions. However, symbolism can be found within the painting. There are a variety of lines in this piece, each type gives a different feeling to the painting. In the foreground, there are many vertical lines and diagonal lines.

Summary: The book is about the collage-style paintings that were done by Jean-Michel Basquiat that sprouted to fame in the 1980s as a cultural phenomenon. This art was like no other art the world has ever seen in the recent past. The book introduces young children to the powerful message that is sent to the society through art.

As the leader of the Austrian avant-garde movement, Klimt’s artworks evoke both the splendor and the decadence of Vienna by the end of the 19th century.

Up until the 18th century, status, position and character of the sitter were of a more importance. However as we proceed into the 19th and 20th century these fundamentals of portraiture makes a diverging change. Amongst the many 20th century painters Gustav Klimt was known for his decorative style and depicting bodies of erotic art. Klimt was also a member of the Vienna Secession in which a group of Austrian artists who had resigned from the Association of Austrian Artists gathered together with a mission of bringing modern European art to Austria.

Gustav Klimt is most known for his painting The Kiss and it is often still referenced today as a pop culture icon. Completed between 1907 and 1908, The Kiss depicts two human figures who appear to be flattened out. Their drapery and background are further flattened by gold leafing and stylistic patterns. The painting is 1.8x1.8m and is oil paints on canvas. The female figure is being held by a man who is turned away from the viewer. It leaves you with a feeling of mystery. Along with The Kiss, Klimt’s Beethoven frieze boosted his popularity. The fresco mural was created solely as a tribute to a Max Klinger exhibition in 1902 and is the only work to survive. The frieze depicted the struggles of humanity and overcoming the hostile throughout life. The mural was

Art is subjective and is deemed “art” by the eye of the beholder. This means that what is deemed art by one person may not be considered art by another. For me to deem a painting as “art”, the painting must move me emotionally in some way or form. That is why the oil painting Portrait of Adele Bloch- Bauer I, which is also known as The Lady (or Woman) In Gold is one of my favorite paintings. The famous historic Austrian painting was painted by Gustav Klimt in 1907. The history of the painting is one of the main reasons why it is my favorite painting. After Adele’s passing, Nazis stole the Portrait of Adele Bloch- Bauer I from the Bloch-Bauer family and renamed the painting The Woman In Gold to cover up the Jewish heritage. After many years
