Analysis Of Marilyn Diptych By Andy Warhol

There have been different art forms that have come and go over the course of time. Hence I will discuss, two significant movements like Post-impressionism and Pop art. Two important artists from these movements are, Vincent Van Gogh and Andy Warhol. There are many differences and very few similarities between these two movements and artists, although more differences. Van Gogh is one of the most captivating artists of post-impressionism. . Throughout his career Van Gogh has painted many works. One of those magnificent paintings is “Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh. In the other hand we will discuss one of the popular paintings “ Gold Marilyn” by Andy Warhol. Warhol is also the most famous of the Pop Artists and played a major role in making the art movement popular.

Although examining art requires a huge knowledge, my intention in this essay is to analyze a piece of art, besides lyrics and the context, I’m going to examine it by following the steps presented by Alain de Botton.

The theme of the painting is religious and spiritual. Andy Warhol depicted Monroe as a martyr most notably by the golden brown paint. In death, Marilyn was worshiped and adored all over the world just like Mary Mother of Jesus. Andy Warhol’s purpose for the painting was to pay tribute to the late Monroe after her death in August 1962. During the production of the painting, Warhol captured Marilyn Monroe as his muse in various mediums. Warhol began silk screening Monroe’s image numerous times in a grid in radiant colors and in black and white. The “Gold Marilyn Monroe” painting brought him to the realization that personas could be fabricated and commercialized by the public. My personal thought on the painting is that Marilyn is shown as a goddess. Marilyn’s beauty and grace are depicted so effortlessly. However, when I am viewing her smile, I feel saddened. Marilyn’s smile seems to hide the pain she felt in life and the inner demons she was struggling

This analysis explains why it is that classical European painting developed its particular technical “features-of composition, color, perspective, brushwork and the manipulation of narrative”, which in Bryson’s case focuses on the gendered gaze, far from gone seen everywhere today through media or in contemporary works. Hal Foster also examines the term that has become so important in contemporary discussions of painting and of visuality; tying into the modern advertising and social media, which is "the Gaze." Tracing the concept of the Gaze through the works and definitions of others as well as diving into The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psycho-analysis where vision is still theorized from the standpoint of a subject placed at the center of a world. The gaze is something much more than a stare or a glance, but a full on addiction and utter obsession. The author discusses the subject's visual experience; where the subject resides, under the Gaze and in the practice of painting, the impacts of

For the second art encounter I visited the Museum of Art at BYU and viewed the Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso print exhibit.There were several other modernist artist on display in the exhibit, such as Lichtenstein and Kalloeitz, however Warhol and Picasso were the artist that are most talked about in this course. Both of these artist are considered to be modernist, however their works look very different. Andy Warhol’s iconic Marilyn Monroe print was on display showing the industrial, pop side of modernist art. Warhol’s art imitates the negative social norms of the time. His lowd use of neon color and choice of subject add to the growing popularity of veneration of celebrities. He also was one of the first artist to mass produce his art, adding

Marcel Duchamp stated that "It was his achievement to treat the camera as he treated the paintbrush, as a mere instrument at the service of the mind” (Biography.com, 2017). In addition, the photogram might seem expressive and abstract, yet on the contrary, it is the precise medium to document the everyday objects in an unrepeatable and somehow uncontrollable way. The artist cannot predict how the selected objects will be recorded under the light sources that were tampered with. From the first glance, the image completely dissociated from its original subject, allowing one’s memory to fill the gap. Yet below its surface, the image is an accurate documentation that captured a moment of psychical intensity. It revealed a new visual experience, using objects in the simplest way. One can say that the use of this medium disclosed reality more preciously due to its invisibility and mysterious representation (The Museum of Modern Art, 2017).

Students through the process of art appreciation will build connections through the exploration of textures, lines, colour and shape when describing, analysing, interpreting and judging the artworks before them (3 chosen images). They are asked to describe what they see, the artist’s use of colour, lines, shapes and texture. They then move onto analysing; what catches their eye, is the composition balanced and do the paintings look flat or do they have depth. The discussion then progresses onto interpretation where students are able to express what type of emotion they feel when looking at the pictures, perhaps the kind of sounds they might hear if they could step into it, and why they think the artist chose this particular subject to paint and what may have inspired the artist.

Art is one aspect of the past that has carried on for decades. Art in any form may it be poetry, novels, and playwright, sculpting as well as painting, has been an outlet for generations and continues to be an outlet and a means for expression. This paper will discuss “ The Mona Lisa” one of Da Vinci’s most famous paintings, as well as another great painting, Antonio Veneziano’s

When studying artists, styles of art and their respective time period, it is always important to find a few key artists that were responsible for the rise of new art trends. Traditionally, art has often a reflection of the most important elements within its respective time period, such as wars, religions, royalty, culture and expression. This is why the study of art history is needs to look deeper than simply understanding how certain artworks were created. Among the various artists studied in the course, Andy Warhol is definitely one of the most influential. Far ahead of his time in thinking and talented in several media forms, Warhol was a product of his time and defined his era with the use of his artwork, giving rise to other artists within the same time period. This paper will argue that Warhol was not only an influence to modern art, he defined the concept of "pop art", which combined consumerism and pop culture, creating works that questioned the norm of society at the time, while providing a strong influence to future artists. Warhol was hugely successful in his artistic efforts and several of his staple works will be discussed in regards to its significance and representation of its respective period of time, as well as Warhol’s influence on the history of art.

The woman portrayed in the painting is the famous movie star Marilyn Monroe. The photograph that Warhol used for this piece is a publicity still from the 1953 movie Niagra.(Museum of Modern Art) Marilyn Monroe has always been known, and always will be known as our nations most famous sex symbol. Her personal life was even more interesting and exciting to the public than her films. She was married several times, and the mysterious events surrounding her death were rumored to be the result of an affair with President John F. Kennedy. Warhol chose the year of Monroe's death, declared a suicide, to create this piece. Her troubled personal life and untimely death only made Warhol's painting more powerful. He displays Monroe at her best. She is young and beautiful with styled hair and a made up face-yet inside she was empty. By glorifying her, Warhol shows her vulnerability. She was an icon to millions, yet the constant demands from fans and the media drove her into the downward spiral which ultimately ended her life.

So, we had a member of my group ‘‘Emily Zenisak’’ who showed a couple of her friends and recorded their reactions to the painting. The first volunteer was Kayla Rrymarz, a freshman at Grand Valley State University. Kayla initial reaction was ‘‘On first glance it looks like pieces from an old house and all the things on the bottom are supporting the house.’’ She followed up with ‘‘I think the meaning is what the 1950s?

While walking through the halls of the museum, I was in a rather skeptical attitude, because after several halls, none of the paintings particularly impressed me. They were all too confusing, too simple. So it continued until I went into a room with huge canvases, and that 's where my eyes got attracted to an artwork that has later become my favorite. The large, towering almost to the ceiling vertical canvas intrigued me with its colors and texture, and in the description has been written that this is the work called "Veronica" by a famous modern artist Jay DeFeo, and it’s been created pretty a long time ago- in 1967. This piece is drawn in a very nice mix of colors and looks like a silk thread aspiring up and shimmering with all shades of bronze and gold. The painting is done in the abstract style so that everyone sees in it something of their own- a feather, wood texture, a piece of fabric- as far as the imagination will suffice. According to the author, it should be Veronica’s veil - a piece of cloth which bears the likeness of the face of Jesus. In Gospel, during the Passion of Christ, one of the holy women who accompanied him to Calvary, offered him a towel on which he left the imprint of his face. Whether the artist is embedded in this work some deep (religious) meaning or not - I don’t know, so I appreciated the painting from an aesthetic point of view. I really liked the technique that DeFeo used to create big and small strokes and transitions between shades: it

Why did Andy Warhol choose to use famous people to represent pop-art? Warhol used his process throughout the 1960s to reproduce multiple portraits of celebrities, including Marilyn Diptych, Michael Jackson , Elizabeth TaylorV and Mao. Andy Warhol duplicated images of mass-produced commercial prints, using famous people, suggesting that the media marketed celebrities just like products. Warhol, was fascinated with the rich and famous since his childhood.

Whaam! Is a 1963 diptych painting by Roy Lichtenstein. It is based on an image from All American Men of War published by DC comics in 1962. It has been described as one of the most powerful monuments of 1960s Pop Art and remains one of Tate’s most popular works on display (Dunne). Whaam! 1963 is a deceptively simple work of appropriation. The compositional templates were taken from comic-book panel in DC Comic’s All-American Men of War. The piece was drawn directly on to canvas with pencil and painted in layers of oil and the Magna brand of acrylic paint. Layering meant the paint could remain wet during the production process and allowed for manipulations of shape and color. The Benday dots were produced using a scrub brush and handmade metal screen (Dunne). Whaam! imitated the reproduction techniques of a cheap commercial printing (a palate of primary colors, a flat background, heavy black outlines, fields of tiny dots to stimulate tone and shadow). Whaam! is one of the star exhibits of touring retrospectives (Sooke).

The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the
