Agustin Recha Mora was born in May 1954, in Granada, Spain. He moved to Bilbao in 1967 and he is teaching as a professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Bilbao since 1979. Recha Mora has been into a lot of contests and he has won many awards. Most of his work was for a reason, which is to show the importance of the loss. In this report, I will be analyzing the form, content and context of one of his works which is called Street towards Plaza Ercilla Moyúa and showing the intentions of Recha Mora.
To begin with the line, we can see that the artist used one point perspective in order to draw this painting. Therefore, this painting is consisted mostly from lines, we can see the lines in the center of the image that takes our eyes until the end of the road where we can notice the buildings. Moreover, there are a lot of horizontal and vertical lines in drawing the buildings and some of them in drawing the shops and windows of the building.
Value in this painting is used in many parts. The lower part of the painting, the artist played with the red color and changed the value to darker to show the damage more and this is creating texture in the painting. In the center of the painting, there is a change in the grey value to show the depth of the road and there is changing in the pink value in the upper left corner to show the reflection of the sun. In addition, we can notice a change in value in the squares on the sidewalk from grey to beige and we can notice that they are forming
The lines outline the water, the clouds, the trees, all show the volume and depth of each element. The use of lines surrounding the ocean and land show the division between each land and water. The use of lines on the rocks show the layers and rigid layout of the land instead of just a flat ledge. The painting also has a lot of shape and definition. The clouds have a fullness so you can see the difference between sky and land. I think Bierstadt also used some aerial perspective in this painting. The sky is blue in spots showing that it is further back in the sky. It’s almost like you are looking down on the fishermen from the sky. The light is very bright and tends to stand out over much of the painting. At first glance your eyes are drawn straight to the light because much of the painting is very dark and gloomy. The light would be focal point of the whole piece. The light allows you to clearly see the mountains and the beach. I think a lot of low key values such as the dark clouds and the water were used in the painting. However, a lot of high key values were used such as the sky and the clouds. This painting is one of my all time
Horizontal line is near the lake side around the mountain foot, vanishing point is near the center of the painting. It gives viewers the feeling that they are standing on the lakeside. Line are used to narrate details most of the time in this painting. Boundaries between figures are always blending into shadows or shown by difference of colors instead of outlining their forms. Brushstrokes can seldom be seen in this artwork.
The use of lines in Stone City is one of the key visual elements in this painting. The artist used many contour lines to define the boundaries between the trees and the valley, the river and the land, and even the long roads from the hills as it winds through the countryside. Wood also incorporated a lot of implied lines into his artwork. The trees and bushes that line the hills create a line of sight which draws the eye of the viewer to the house on the river, which is the focal point of this painting. The lines all move in different directions and help the artist highlight different aspects of the painting. Around the city and in the foreground of the painting the artist uses a lot of horizontal lines, which gives the town a calm sensation. As we move away from the city, we find a lot of vertical lines which denote growth. We also find a lot of diagonal lines which imply action in the painting. The diagonal lines are predominantly used by the artist in the creation of the roads and
Space and colors dominates this piece of art. The artist used a three dimensional space where the road angle created a 3-D look. The road is going narrow as it goes towards the back part and the artist make it look like more realistic by making the trees smaller as well. White and blue color dominates the drawing. Blue symbolizes so many things
As indicated by the shape in the foreground, the lines that signify the contour of the rocks and freestanding structure merge. The lines lead the eye vertically as it meets the center. When looking at the painting as a whole, the viewer can see how the artist uses straight
In this painting, two visual elements stand out over all the rest. These elements are that of color and texture. Color in art is an element that has to be phenomenal in order to get recognition and true appreciation from the viewers. In this painting, the colors are rich, vivacious and standout as dark, but bold representations of the uniqueness of it all. The use of brown and yellow and green and grey and white all come together in a harmony of color and unity. As for the texture in the painting, it is that of brisk and roughness that is nature. The sharp edges of the bucks rack and the cold, rough edges of the dead tree show
The usage of the lines in this painting establishes emphasis and develops subtle nuances in the structure of the piece. The figures above the sea: namely the cherubs and the large birdlike figure possess thinly defined lines outlining them. The cherub in the top left corner with the string of flower petals has a long-implied line going into the distance. The wings of the birdlike figure in the sky have a horizontal line on the left wing and a curved line on the right wing. This develops the outline and shape of the birdlike creature. The lines that surround the clouds are curved and thinly defined as well. In the bottom, right corner of the painting there is a man whose hand is reached out to touch the chin of the bull. The lines of the rib cage and upper body muscles of this man are very thick. The lines on this man are much more defined than the other people in the painting. This is meant to establish a subtle sense of struggle with this man, while he is attempting to flee the sea. Europa’s
One of the elements of art is a line, which is the path of a moving point and it defines the edges of shapes and forms. In the painting “ Murnau. Burggrabenstrasee 1, 1908” there are many directions, which are vertical, horizontal and diagonal. In the sky has a horizontal view and on the houses right underneath the sky. On some of the houses, the windows give off some direction of horizontal lines, but it does not show a delicate view of the direction. Another direction of the line is vertical lines. The houses are stacked together giving the sides of the houses into a clear, rigid point of view. Another vertical line is there might be a pole next to the blooming flowers. For each house, there are doors and windows, all stacked vertically.
Lines that create texture and have thin lines across the piece. Strictly reflects the way Van Gogh views nature and also have a personal meaning to him. Places that were familiar to Van Gogh were basically painted and created in his
Texture and pattern are very easy to identify in this painting. The street’s cobblestones show texture and pattern in the way that they are arranged. Texture is also demonstrated through the paint strokes on the buildings, the tree, and even the sky. These thick, uneven strokes add a layer of depth and texture to all elements of the painting.
In drawing, comes a point and where two point connects forms a line. With a line turns into a shape and therefore you can add depth and value to make it more dimensional and appealing to a human’s eye. The shape and space in this painting is very constrained in a way. The twelve apostles surrounding the Virgin gives the audience a sign of how the virgin is very important. The shape of their bodies may seem
The dimensions 28 7/8 x 36 ¾ inches. This painting was created in the modern art period of post-impressionism. Two formal art elements represented in this painting is line and color. The line is shown in this painting organically with smooth brush strokes of the oil creating volume within the clouds and plants, and even the wheat on the foreground.
The painting also uses perspective lines to draw your attention to the center of the painting towards Christ, and Christ and two of his followers on either side of him form a perfect triangle. These spacial and perspective understanding were really perfected in the Renaissance and really aid the painting.
The use of line in this piece is also very interesting. The artist employs a high horizontal line to create a plunging effect giving the piece more depth. Another use of lines in the image is to create focal points to attract the viewer. Lines are also used to separate the different sections of the painting. Overall this painting uses lines in dynamic ways that vastly enhance the viewers’ pleasure and admiration of the piece.
Line:The construction of the painting, Waterloo Bridge from unreservedly brushed hues that outweighed lines and rather than points of interest, and utilized short little broke brush strokes of blend. The broke strokes of mixed colors leads into the pattern of the painting.
