Analysis Of Enhanced Focus By Antonio Bessa

Museums add new context for artworks, since historical items were not made to be in modern museums. A Pair of Sensing Angels by Circle of Bernaert Orley are two ‘one by three foot’ oil painting on wood from 1535-1540 that depicts two angels. When looking at “A Pair of Censing Angels” we can infer the subject, the value the painting held, and how the meaning alters in its present setting. This visual analysis will describe the artwork, analyze the formal elements used, and how the formal elements of the work and display affects the viewer.

The art of Fernando Botero is widely known, revered, paraphrased, imitated and copied, For many, his characteristic rounded, sensuous forms of the human figure, animals, still lifes and landscapes represent the most easily identifiable examples of the modern art of Latin America. For others, he is a cultural hero.To travel with Botero in his native Colombia is to come to realize that he is often seen less as an artist and more as a popular cult figure. In his native Medellín he is mobbed by people wanting to see him, touch him or have him sign his name to whatever substance they happen to be carrying. On the other hand, Botero's work has been discredited by those theorists of modern art whose tastes are dictated more

To say that Gary Baseman is just a famous artist is submit to the most banality. Originál rude boy Gary Baseman has created what are perhaps some of the most spellbinding, intimate illustrations possible of LA’s Fairfax District, Gods of the Secret Society, and his cornucopia of mythical creatures. Blurring the traditional ideas between fine art, advertising, and animation, his body of work is seemly boundless. In addition to producing some of most iconic paintings and sculptures of the past two decades, his preoccupations span from designing a full spectrum of consumer merchandise (either for his own Gary Baseman label or for notorious fashion labels such as Coach and Frau Blau) to running galleries all across the globe- to name just a few

Fernando Botero is an internationally acclaimed figurative artist and sculptor. He is one of the most traded and recognized artists from Latin America. His art is exhibited in international museums worldwide and follows an art-style he spent years to perfect. Fernando Botero’s success began in Columbia; he then moved Barcelona, Madrid and finally Paris where he now spends most of his time. Botero’s beginner art was frequently criticized for “lacking its own identity” as it was influenced by the works of various renowned artists such as Diego Rivera, Pablo Picasso, Francisco Goya and Diego Velasquez. As a result, Botero developed his own, unique style known as “Boterismo” (Bertamini). However, Fernando Botero’s newly founded style was often

Featured and organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Romare Bearden’s collection is one that appreciates and depicts life for what it really is. Bearden did not like abstract expressionism. Instead, he made many collages depicting life with different perspectives, allowing the viewer to see reality, but also try to figure out the true meaning that Bearden meant to portray in the collage that was not directly seen by just looking at the picture. These collages were made by “Cut and pasted printed, colored and metallic papers, photostats, pencil, ink marker, gouache, watercolor, and pen and ink on Masonite” (MET Museum). Bearden liked telling narratives within these collages involving Harlem life. Whether it was on the streets, inside

As I was looking through the never-ending list of artists on the PBS program “Art21,” there was only one name that really captured my attention. That name was Marela Zacarías. I think one of the main reasons as to why I was so intrigued to click on this artist was because her name sounded Spanish and being Hispanic has always been something I have been proud of. What made my choice even better was when I selected on Marela Zacarías’s name and began reading I found out she was Mexican just like me. At that point, there was no doubt I was going to do this assignment based off one of her artworks. When I began researching Zacarías and her art, I was hoping to love her work. Not only did I end up enjoying most of her art but ended up loving the piece called Mannahatta. Without a doubt, it became one of my favorite sculptures right away.

As I was walking across the 17th century art section at Walters Art Museum, hanging behind the big rectangular pillar in the middle of the hallway, an oil painting on panel by Trophime Bigot draws my attention. The high contrasting tones of colors and values and the artist capability to make the grotesque painting appealing interest me.

Fran admired and collected other artist’s work for her home, but also as part of her trove of infinite objects that often made their way into her art. From the mad jumble of countless boxes and bags in her studio came often playful “bricolage” works of beauty, humor and imagination. She taught for many years at the New Jersey Center for the Visual Arts, the Newark Museum and was actively teaching until just weeks before her death last year. An award-winning artist, she exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, Victoria and Albert Museum, and in galleries throughout New Jersey. She began her eight-decade career as a fashion designer before moving into painting, printmaking, found art sculpture, book and paper making, and other multi-media arts. Fran studied art at the American School of Fine Arts, Newark School of Fine Arts, and Fairleigh Dickinson University. The works in this exhibition were generously donated by Fran’s family to The 1978 Maplewood Arts Center. Proceeds from all sales will benefit the center as well as public art in the

FOCUS 2 was a great computer program to help continue my career journey. My career planning readiness results seemed to fit in where I am at in my life. My score was a 3.67, this indicates that I am moderately involved in my interests, values, personality and skills. Agreeing with this because I have been not only trying to figure out who I am as an adult but also making life changes. Although having a clear understanding on these topics, career exploration and career planning satisfaction were both low threes in scores. For example, my career planning score suggested that I may be experiencing some problems with planning. By writing this paper it has immensely helped clear my perspective on where I am and where I should be.

Beauty in art is the essence of detail and Boucher mastered in his painting, “Lovers in a Park.” He was able to create a very colorful garden setting combined with a hint of tension by the figures that quickly goes away with the beauty of the scene. The idea of love being an innocent but beautiful game is being told here. The light textures, silky look, cheerful style contributed to Boucher’s material richness work. The Rocco style was a reactive approach to the Baroque style that embodied light colors, asymmetrical ideas, and playful themes. It was a more graceful approach to the other style. Boucher was a French painter, draughtsman, and etcher who was perhaps the most celebrated painter of the 18th century. His career was hugely successful with many honors received and membership to the Royal Academy. His inspiration from other artists, patrons, and important figures in his life contributed to this style of work. Boucher’s Lovers in a Park captures the true beauty of what a Rocco style painting should look like.

Bright colors jumping at you asking for attention, images so real viewers can not tell the difference. These are the thoughts that came to my head as I gazed at two works of art by two Mexican artists at MoLAA museum of art . I visited two museums, Bowers Museum of cultural Art in the heart of Southern California and the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach for my report unfortunately I only liked the works in MoLAA and will talk about it through out my paper. I will talk about two Mexican artists Rafael Cauduro and David Alfaro Siqueros that caught my eye, and made me want to learn more of them and their approach to art. Siqueiros caught my eye and interest because according to his biography “no

Philosopher Arthur Danto, author of “The Artworld,” an artistic criticism, states that “to see something as art requires something that the eye cannot descry—an atmosphere of artistic theory, a knowledge of the history of art: an artworld” (201). Artistic theory, according to Danto, requires the presence of a subject, style, rhetorical ellipses, and that of historical context. Danto is capable of developing this view on art with the aid of an imaginary character, Testadura. Testadura, however, makes mistakes, as well as corrections, about the objects before him.

Instrumental ensembles are vital to the liberal arts core in college programs. Both aspects should function collaboratively, teaching students to reach their full potential, think critically, and develop patterns of rich, diverse thought. While producing a high level musical experience, instrumental music programs must train complete musicians, performers, and create environment conducive to higher level thinking.

The women of the Iliad play significant roles in the Trojan war, regardless of whether or not their role is active. Although they do not take up arms and fight, Chryseis, Briseis, Helen, and Andromache all impact both the outcome of the war as well as the lives and reputations of those in it.
