Art history essay on Adopting an approach

This could either be a Grizzly Bear or a Kodiak bear. This sculpture is number 112 out of 1500.

Nowadays, everyone has a particular talent or interest that separates them from the pack. From a little age, my passion lied in my utter fascination of numbers and math. Whether I recalled sport stats or my teammates’ swim times to adding the total for the grocery, math has always been in my blood. Nevertheless, in the midst of my junior year, I discovered a newfound passion for art, while taking AP Art History.

Case Study: The use of assemblage and the found object in historical and contemporary art practice.

Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South and Madonna Enthroned are very similar images that were produced by very different cultures. Both images were produced during the 13th Century. The image of Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South was produced in Tibet during an interesting period of the country’s religious history. The branch of Tibetan Buddhism is led by a religious and sometimes political leader called the Dalai Lama. It was during the 13th Century during the reign of Kublai Khan, around the time of the production of this painting, that Tibet experienced the first incarnation of the Dalai Lama. One has to wonder if this painting is somehow related to that occurrence. According to

I went to the Cantor Center for Visual Arts on Stanford Campus on 2/28/13. I saw a lot of sculptures and vases there. They are very beautiful and interested. The most interested one I think was Kleophon Painter, “Volute Krater”, ca. 430 BCE, Greece, red-figure terra cotta vase, size 26’ ¾” * 19’ *19’. Hazel D. Hansen Fund, 12, 1972 Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. This vase is located in the Iris & B Gerald Cantor Center from the classical period between 479-323 BCE in Greece. The Kleophon Painter is an anonymous Athenian vase painter in red figure style. The name he is named because of a youth named “Kleophon”. He is also good at Achilles Painter; a number of “black figure” works in the mid-to-late 5th

The durability of clay has brought forth an immense abundance of Greek pottery, a craft mastered by Athenian artists. Archeologists have found hundreds of varieties in creation, shape, function, style, and artwork in Archaic vases. The museum has been blessed with one of these priceless artifacts; it is the duty of this establishment to accumulate as much data as possible surrounding the vase. In first identifying technique, dimensions, and condition, as well as describing shape, ornament, and figural scenery, one may then begin to analyze the vase. This serves the general purpose of understanding where the artifact stands in Greek culture and history. Through the examination and research of figural scenes, it is then possible to compare

The art work that I have chosen for this formal analysis of an art work is the Painter of Paestum’s piece titled “Red-figure lebes gamikos (marriage vessel) it was made with terracotta red clay. This piece was made between 340-330 B.C. It is approximately 10 inches in height. The present location of this art piece is at The San Antonio Museum of Art in the Greek Late Classical section. The collection is a permanent collection from Gilbert M. and Denman, Jr. whose funds were used to purchase the vessel.” (“San Antonio Museum of Art Wall Text”). These marriage vessels are frequently shown in marriage scenes on Greek vases. This marriage vessel could have been given as a wedding gift or used to contain water for the bride’s bath before the wedding ceremony. Also, it could have been placed by the bride’s door and was possibly used in a ritual of sprinkling the bride with water before the wedding ceremony.

Which is more important color or drawing? These two have always been fought over for centuries by Poussiniste and Rubenistes. Two great pieces of art that were created in the 1600’s are Peter Paul Rubens’ The Caledonian Boar Hunt and Nicolas Poussin’s Landscape with Calm. While Rubens argues that color is the most important part of the painting Poussin argues that the drawing is more important. In the paragraphs below I will talk about the paintings each individually and then compare them.

In her explanation of the dripping vases Liontas-Warren said that she wanted to highlight that art is temporary and human senses are unreliable. She continues, “time eventually wipes away all forms of art, leaving us with only impressions of their former appearance.” (1) To convey her message she created paintings of Greek vases with either depictions of Greece or her relatives. This series of paintings are in a very diffuse style with streaks of water color paint to simulate the passage of time and aging.

This paper focuses on two cultural artifacts and portray the differences between China Western Han dynasty (206 BC-9 AD) and Athen, Greece (ca. 50-540BC) vessels. To this end, this paper will provide insight into skilled vase techniques between two cultural regions.

The art piece that I chose to critique is the sculpture of a figure kneeling down and getting shocked. It is located on campus near the Morris University Center(muc). When I first saw this sculpture it caught my attention immediately, because of how gruesome the piece was. I feel like I don’t have a good understanding of what the sculpture represents, but it seems like it would raise plenty of controversy, due to its erotic features. It seems like the artist was venting his emotions when he created his idea. The sculpture is fairly large in size, which makes it noticeable, among the other art pieces on campus. The sculpture media consist of wood and concrete, and metal mostly. The individual is keeling down toward the west and is supported

Presenter: Welcome. Welcome, to the national radio, bringing you the latest news, and updates. Today we have a special guest speaker, all the way from France... I am happy to present Mr. Daumier, the famous 19th century painter.

The painting was first rejected as a Rembrandt’s piece of work due to its inconsitency in the woman’s dressing style, considering the fastidious nature of the artist. Such point is proven to be invalid by the lecturer, as she pointed out the seemingly out of place fur collar was in fact painted over the original painting about 100 years after, as shown by X-ray analysis

The history of art dates back to ancient times. Artwork can be, and was, found around the world. What makes art interesting is that it can be created in any way, shape or form with any materials. It seems that the artwork can also tell us a lot about the artist. Art seems to be simply, a direct, visual reflection of the artist’s life. Therefore, one can assume that an artist’s life experiences and beliefs directly influence their art. If we look at examples from different periods of art we will be able to see the connection between the artist and the art.

Art is a form of human expression. Art can be seen as the artist sleight of hand on his mood. Art is in various media from posters to public wall of which we call “graffiti”. Art is elusive as the use of colors shapes and the surface used adds a new dimension. Art portrays various ideas, feelings such as triumph, love, happiness, sorrow and boredom in loss to mention a few. Art is beauty and creativity. During man’s evolution art has progressed over in its most primitive state up to its most modernized versions today.
