Andrew Wyeth Christina's World

In Berthe Morisot’s painting, she uses colors ranging from blue to green to yellow to orange. She uses paint thinly but in big brush stroke but her color was dull. Her brush strokes are in a cross hatching manner. This method of cross hatching creates depth and shadows on the foreground. Intermixed, in her piece are signs of dry brush strokes. Morisot’s figure is enticing to the viewer by staring back at the onlooker. Morisot’s painting looks very freeing as that is what she longs for. She has a sketch like quality about her painting.

Berthe Morisot was born in 1841, a time when it was still quite difficult for women to become professional artists as the art world was predominantly male. She continually faced criticism and encountered difficulties due to her sex. Despite this, Morisot was able to establish herself as a respected artist whose work only continues to become more highly regarded with time. Her place in art history alongside such Impressionist artists as Claude Monet, Marie Bracquemond, Mary Cassatt, and Edgar Degas, is a testament to her ambition. She was an artist who “aspired to greatness” who “was not content to take second place.” Her painting Young Woman Knitting of 1883 is a excellent example of her style and technique. To fully comprehend how this painting is typical of her work, it is helpful to study her life, as well as her artistic development, especially in her paintings.

Heffernan’s paintings express her untamed imagination with majestic fantasy, dream-like subjects, yet she paints with a very classic technique. When I first viewed The Self Portrait as Wunderkabinett, Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel came to mind. Michelangelo illustrates the desire and describes the oneness that humans anticipate with God through salvation. The artists painting technique is traditional, with the sensible and realistic proportions of the human body, the distinguishing lines, the application of shadow, the intricate detail on every object within the painting, and the use of traditional complementary color pairs.

Mme Charpentier and her Children was a portrait and painted in the 1878 by Auguste Renoir a painter who resided in Limoges. The subject is identifiable because she is in the center of the room. The paint that was used was oil and work of art is impressionism. Also In this essay I am going to depict or take apart this work of art by breaking down each element. For example, the subject and general observation of the work of art. Along with the shape and form, medium and technique, the composition and the color of a work of art. Light and shadow and texture of a piece of art work. All of these elements create one single piece of art work.

Brett whiteley painted in places like Fiji, Italy, England and the united states because he love the landscape and the people there. He also painted the darling harbour and the opera because he lived in sydney.

Thomas Cole, an American artists who trained in Europe in landscape painting for a few years felt that America’s nature was the most beautiful to be seen. Cole depicted Native Americans in a few of his paintings. The landscape painting of Niagara Falls was one of Cole’s most notable works of art. People found very little interests in his religious

The first American group of painters, The Hudson School of Romantic Landscapes, was lead by Thomas Cole, who was born in 1801 in England. He went to Philadelphia and Ohio as a traveling portrait painter in 1819. In addition, he traveled to Europe where he painted many Italian subjects, and later many of the scenes in his paintings came from his European studies. He died in 1848 at the age of 47. Cole’s artwork represents the Romantic style of painting, especially in his famous work The Oxbow (Fulwider 618). In the life and time around Thomas Cole, three things stand out. The major themes in Cole’s artwork, what was romantic about the Hudson River School’s art, and why landscape was a national religious symbol for Americans.

One day in 1893, Pierre Bonaire strolled on the streets of Paris. Many years later, he will be the post-impressionist Zongjiang, founder of the Nabi School of painting and the world, but then, he was just a 26-year-old solo painter. In the street, he helped a girl cross the road, and then occasionally began to chat: she said he was 16 years old, called Mardel de Mellini, first came to Paris, working in the flower shop. Later she became Bonnard's model, and then naturally become the lover of Bonnard.

V. Douglas Snow, a Utah native, is best known for his paintings and distinctive murals in public spaces. He created his first painting at the age of 14 and submitted his piece in the Utah State Institute of Fine Arts annual exhibition. His work can be described as abstract-expressionism and also academic abstract impressionism. Many of his works of art were inspired by the landscape of Southern Utah.

Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) is a second generation painter following in the steps of his father, N.C. Wyeth, and was renowned for his artwork throughout the 21st and 20th centuries. Pennsylvania native, Andrew Wyeth, learned his only art lessons from his father, N.C. Wyeth, during his adolescent years and went on to become a successful, realist painter in his early twenties. He is known for paintings such as Christina’s World, Braids and Tempera and is considered one of the most decorated artists as he has won the National Institute of Arts and Letters award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Blue Door is said to be painted in honor of his late father, who had died seven years back as he said, “Something waits beneath it” referring to the door. As a deep religious man,

She sees the contrasting differences of his artistic potential between now and in the past, the relation between his work and his mood that has resulted in his depressing behaviour, and how he contends with their difficult situation in Horizon by sketching drawing upon drawing.

The people back in the 19th century really didn’t accept Van Gaogh’s truthful and emotionally morbid way of expressing the way of art is to himself. It finally was seen as art through the people’s eyes. This set a stage of art that is now known as Expressionism. It is best characterized by the use of symbols and a style that expresses the artist’s inner feelings about his subject. His style of painting is exemplified by a projection of the painter’s inner experience onto the canvas he paints on. Van Gogh’s paintings are done with his feelings that goes on in his life. (Mark Harden’s Artchive)

A great artist once wrote, “If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced”. This artist was Vincent van Gogh, soon to be an appraised artist known all around the world for his works, such as Starry Night. He is one of the very first artists of the post-impressionist style than is now adored in every continent. However, there is much more to the man than one painting. Creating a full timeline that stretches beyond Gogh’s life, this paper will discuss the life of Vincent van Gogh and the impression he made on the world.

The two artworks for this week discussion was quiet beautiful and interesting in there own way. I was particularly drawn to Andrew Wyeth's Christina's World. This piece of art had an overwhelming sense of peace and clam that drew me to it. At the same time it evoked a slight sense of anxiousness within me. The art piece itself is simple with few objects within it but it speaks great volumes. I see the young woman Christina, sitting on this vast piece of land, reaching out as she looks at this house. She appears to be longing to get home. Wyeth's chose to show Christina in this sitting position, instead of walking or running on this vast land. This leads me to believe she is weak and a bit helpless. Her physique appears a bit frail, particularly

Wassily who is Russian has painted this painting in Munich, Germany. In this painting there is a colorful swirl of activity of reds, pails blue, blacks, and yellows. The “First Abstract Watercolor” painting had largely the same impact in art as the eastern European art community as Picasso’s cubist “Les Damoiselles d e Avignon did in Paris around almost the same time. The difference between the two paintings were the sizes and the media that would account for its difference in the impact of the artists at that time period. Wassily was born in 1866 Moscow well educated and had upper class parents of mixed ethnic origins. His father had encouraged his unique and precocious gift of the arts and had enrolled him into private drawing classes.
