Beverly Mciver's Art Analysis

In the art world the audience plays a big part on the success of the artwork and the artist. In this case Del Kathryn Barton is the artist, she has created multiple, unique works. She has great success with theses artworks including winning multiple Archibald Prizes. “Hugo” weaving, 2013, and her self portrait were two artworks that stood out of all the works due to their meaning and appearance. Some people will love but then some people hate it. Having a person so big as Hugo Weaving really brings the world closer to acknowledging the artwork. If there was no audience the artwork or Del Kathryn Barton would have no success.

was a pioneer and led the way for future female painters to have the courage to become

In addition to the above, Simmons is also remembered by the modern artists, as some of the current art of work takes some of the images of her. This is a clear indication that her work was good and will be remembered in some decades to come, (Nelson, V. 2012).

Georgia O'Keeffe is an American artist, who lived during American Modernism (“Georgia O’Keeffe”). She inspired many artists throughout her time and even after. She liked to use landscapes and architecture as subject matter (“Georgia O;Keeffe”). The historical context is significant during the time. Her style and type of artwork are very specific to who she was as an artist and a person because she loved the outdoors and beautiful landscapes. I fell in love with her art while in the library finding an artist to write about.

I want to start off with how much I loved the paper Holding Up the Arts by Diane Ragsdale. Ragsdale did an amazing job giving life to a problem that authors have struggled to do no matter the length of their works. As a result, the dilemma within the art’s nonprofit sector doesn’t come across off as dry and lengthy, but rather easy to understand and relatable. As an artist, she was able to bring together two worlds that both exist within the arts, but are difficult to tie together – the artistic side and the economic side.

“Media stereotypes are inevitable, especially in the advertising, entertainment and news industries, which need as wide an audience as possible to quickly understand information. Stereotypes act like codes that give audiences a quick, common understanding of a person or group of people—usually relating to their class, ethnicity or race, gender, sexual orientation, social role or occupation.”

To begin the research, I focused on Savannah’s identity as a student and an artist.

Born in 1926 to a wealthy Chicago family, Mitchell’s father was a prominent medical doctor and an amateur artist, while her mother a lyric poet. Author Patricia Albers’s online lecture recalled Mitchell’s formative years, which led to her decision to become an artist “When Joan was 12, her father required she choose her life's work. She hesitated between writing and art. She ultimately chose art, and he told her ‘art, why art? you can't draw?’ Her dad inspired her, competed with her, and challenged her… for the next 55 years, she devoted herself [wholeheartedly] to her art” (Joan Mitchell: Lady Painter). In her later years, Mitchell reflected on this paramount event with her father and said, “She decided to become a painter because it was an area in where her father could not compete with her [therefore he could not be critical of her]” (Livingston, 12). Interestingly, her paintings require the observer to use their critical thinking skills to appreciate and understand her

After conducting research on all three artist I have decided to look more deeply into Cynthia Sherman, better known as Cindy. My decision on Cindy came very easily to me because I love art through photography. Cindy was born last into a five children house hold to her mother and father. She was born in New Jersey but shortly after birth the family moved to Road Island where Cindy was raised. While at Buffalo State College Cindy began painting but quickly found she was limited. She was unable to come up with her own style and that frustrated her. She then put down the paint brushes and picked up a camera. Cindy found she could quickly capture the art that was around her. Cindy was known for taking snapshots of herself. Many of times she took

The artist I received is Agnes Martin. When I first looked at her work I found it boring. Most of her art was just colors on the page; like her painting Night Sea (1963). Night Sea is a dark blue on a canvas that if you look closely may appear to be a lighter shade of blue in the bottom right corner. I thought “Is that all? It’s just the color blue. I could look at a colored pencil and see that.” I wrote her off as boring an uninspired without even looking at any of her other paintings. I also assumed she painted for money, not enjoyment.

Her pieces are more than just paintings , because she uses photography skills to capture her

Christina Parsons, also known in the art world as Charming, was born December 7th, 1990 in San Mateo, California but raised most of her life in Denver, Colorado. She has lived various places and traveled to various places which lead to some of her inspiration for her artworks. She was introduced to painting by her mother when she was all of about three and could barely hold a brush. Since this time she is usually creating some type of art and has been involved in painting for most of her life. Christina was a self-taught artist until she attended Metropolitan State University of Denver where she has received her training and degree in Art Education with a concentration in Painting. Her medium of choice is Watercolor, Acrylic, and Oil, however,

“Remembrance” by Annette Kuhn is basically about Annette examining a six-year-old version of herself. In the picture, to someone else, would just show a six year old with a budgerigar, but to Annette there is so much more. She pays attention to detail and the surroundings in the background. She talks about how she feels about photographs and what they mean to her. Then she begins to go into detail about the content of the infamous photograph. Annette recalls when and from whom she got the bird, Greeny, from; as well as what she was wearing and where she was when that photo was taken. Continuing she explains the inscription on the back of the photo, trying to figure out the meaning of the difference between her caption and her mothers. She then

In 1979, she was awarded the Visual Arts Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, and a Guggheim Fellowship in 1989 (Gale 10). In 1991, she became the first female African American philosophy Professor to receive academic tenure in the U.S. However, in 2008, because she refused to return to the U.S. when she was listed as a “Suspicious Traveler” on the U.S. Transportation Security Administration Watch List, Wesley College ended her “tenured full professorship” (Berger 21). In 2011, she was awarded the title of Professor Emeritus by the American Philosophical Association (Gale 10). In 2015, she was awarded the Golden Lion for the Best artist in the International Exhibit of the Venice Bunnale (Gale 10). She is a very famous artist who is still extremely

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
