Art Case Study: Jenny Holzer

One pleasant afternoon, my classmates and I decided to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts to begin on our museum assignment in world literature class. According to Houston Museum of Fine Art’s staff, MFAH considers as one of the largest museums in the nation and it contains many variety forms of art with more than several thousand years of unique history. Also, I have never been in a museum in a very long time especially as big as MFAH, and my experience about the museum was unique and pleasant. Although I have observed many great types and forms of art in the museum, there were few that interested me the most.

John Szarkowski is an American photographer and curator, whose opinions on a photograph’s narrative and direction are highly valued. In his time he analyzed many works of art, and produced many different interpretations, one being the ideals of mirrors and windows.

For this assignment you are to consider the five printing and one shooting methods outlined below. You will find that each of these techniques will produce interesting results. Start with a method that interests you and continue on from there.

Advertising is everywhere, sometimes it is subtle, other times it is overt. Propaganda posters are a form of advertising; they were used extensively by many countries in the 1940’s during World War II. By attempting to reach the public directly with a powerful and emotional message, they became an effective means to deliver that message. Similar techniques are used in modern advertising. A 2015

Julie Becker was born in 1972, and passed away in 2016 at the age of 43[i]. Los Angeles was an integral part of her life as she grew up, created, and died in L.A; however she studied briefly at Hochschule der Kunste, Berlin in 1991 and completed a residency in Basel, Switzerland at Stiftlung Laurenz-Haus Foundation. Becker was the daughter of artists[ii], and subsequently grew up in constant travel from one apartment to the next while her parents worked odd jobs to survive. In lieu of finishing her senior year at Santa Monica High School, she became the youngest student ever to attend California Institute of the Arts in 1989 at the age of 16. From CalArts in Valencia, Becker received her BFA in 1993, and her MFA in 1995. Paul Schimmel, curator at the L.A Museum of Contemporary Art, selected Becker’s MFA thesis project, Researchers, Residents, A Place to Rest 1993-96, for the 23rd São Paulo Biennial, where she was the youngest participant.

For this experience, I decided to talk about the sculpture of “Lady Baltimore”. Lady Baltimore was sculptured by Antonio Capellano with the monument designed by a Baltimore architect Maximilian Godefroy a French-American. The statue was first placed on the monument on September.12, 1822. The Battle Monument represents the Battle of Baltimore with the British Fleets and the bombardment of Fort McHenry, the Battle of North Point, which happened in the southeast of the city in Baltimore County on the Patapsco Neck peninsula and the stand-off on Loudenschlager’s Hill and later Hampstead Hill in what is now Patterson Park east of town. Lady Baltimore was located on North Calvert Street between East Fayette and East Lexington in Baltimore, MD, she has been there for 200 years.

Art is method of expressing a person creativity. Depending on the level of creativity and uniqueness makes the art valuable. The purpose of Chicago Art fair was to rejoice in the remembrance Christopher Columbus discovery of America, at that time 400 years ago. From modern time, 12 and half decades ago, Chicago was epic center of art. Millions of people came from all over the world just to be in attendance. Therefore, the fair needed additional time for preparation to accommodate those millions of people. Every major artist in America came to showcase their talent and unveil their exhibits. Each state had a monument of art that represented their state. In 1893, the culture was different, a lot of events was acceptable that should have not

I went to the library this morning to see what exactly was I going to write about and I came across Michelle Brinkman artwork. She is a local photographer in Mobile, Alabama. Her artwork will be in the Mark Library from September 1st until October 31st. Her artwork is being based off reflections. The name of her artwork is called This End Up. Her artwork has a figure-ground relationship because her pictures are dominant and her pictures are reflecting from puddles of water off the ground or on concrete. I love to view photography such as hers. Because when I was a teenager I had a passion for art. I also use to take pictures of people and old historic buildings. One of her pictures I really like is when she is downtown mobile and you can a big building that she captured

The monetary contribution from The Mabel de Koevend Memorial Art Scholarship or The Dr. Linda Schele Memorial Art Scholarship would improve my artistic career next year not only financially but also through the opportunity to buy better supplies. I am currently working two jobs to support myself financially. The contribution from at least one of these scholarships would loosen the pressure I have experienced throughout this year, and I feel full-heartily that I could go back to working a singular job versus the two I work now. The contribution from either The Mabel de Koevend scholarship or The Dr. Linda Schele Memorial Art Scholarship would allow me to get better supplies and/or the needed supplies to succeed in my art career not only next

Throughout history many artistic works have been deemed "great" and many individuals have been labeled "masters" of the discipline. The question of who creates art and how is it to be classified as great or greater than another has commonly been addressed by scholars and historians. The last quarter of the 20th century has reexamined these questions based on the assertions that no women artists have ever created or been appreciated to the level of "greatness" that perpetually befalls their male counterparts. The position that society has institutionalized on women as unable to be anything but subordinate and unexpressive is a major contributor to this claim. Giving a brief history of gender discrimination in the art

Many situations present the important synchronization of internal versus external negotiations. Many individuals have studied how each side in the negotiation is able to manage the internal opposition to agreements being negotiated. This can also be known as “on the table”, or what exactly is on the line in a heated argument. Each individual involve in an argument has a particular position to be managed, and often times own personal interests are widely expressed. This paper will expand upon the case of Fischer collecting needed funds from Smith with proposals and ideas for a manageable negotiation.

Peggy 's BATNA is to sue the Smiths. While she may not wish to pursue this as a first action, it is the museum 's best alternative to acquiring the $5 million pledge should negotiations fail. The BATNA 's value is high and will have significant strength if viewed by the Smith 's as a possibility should they continue to avoid paying their debt. The court will likely see this as a contract between the parties; especially since the museum would have to claim the $5 million as income and based its growth plan on the receipt of the funds. According to Robertson and Lewis (2009).courts often weigh pledges as they do traditional contract law. However, there is no guarantee that the museum would win or that a court would not reduce the obligation due to Mr. Smith 's illness.

Intrinsically intriguing as the artworks and themes are for many viewers, what lies with greater uniqueness is the visual context of art, as emphasized by Helena. Artworks, despite the era or time period, are always initially distinguished based on the surface; for example, what’s present and what’s going on. As I tour the Grohmann Museum with Helena, I was taught to look at the furthest distance in the portrait rather than the surface.

The area of art is popularly known for heightening emotions, challenging stereotypes, and ultimately providing insights into how individuals view the surrounding world. The artist and the observer time and time again see pieces in overwhelmingly different ways. Individuals may wonder why this is so. What could possibly create such a drastic change from one perspective to another? When it comes down to it, experiences are the answer. The artist and the observer have different
