“Vrrrrrrrr” sounds the fans cooling the projectors displaying video instillations of Terry Berkowitz “the last supper”. As I strolled into this gallery, I instantly thought of both “ted talks” we previously had this semester and how the artist we using rather unconventional means to portray their art. In visiting the Boca Museum Of Art I observed 3 specific pieces that tied into lessons I’ve come to learn more about in this semester. Upon entering the museum I was bombarded by this 12 x 45 ft. architectural painting. Almost resembling the museum building itself. With sharp horizontal and verticals lines, this multi colored piece reminded me of our last piece from project 8. Using a variety of colors with no obvious correlation, the clash of colors instantly made me reflect on how I could improve future and previous projects alike. The amount of straight lines in different lengths and widths, also reminded me of our piece from project 1. With no curves and lines going every which way, its amazing how a piece made entirely of lines with no figures could be so captivating. One of my favorite pieces from the visit was a huge 10 x 9 ft. map that surrounded a middle age woman's face. The artist Frieder Schnock used stippling to create the entire piece, which resonated with me from the previous project we …show more content…
The composition in this one is impeccable and the way the figures are depicted was one of the best I witnessed in the museum. Patko’s cool color choice really adds to the feel of this gloomy yet relaxing piece. From the closest figure being nearly 25 times bigger than the furthest; to the rays of light breaking through the purple and blue clouds, this oil on canvas piece instantly grasps a hold of you after just a quick glimpse. Although detail is kept to a minimum, the shadows and color scheme make up tremendously for these almost featureless
When I came to the museum, the first thing that impressed me was the astonishing building: it was a masterpiece itself. The exterior of the Tampa Museum of Art has a light installation, and all I wanted at that moment is night to come so I could see thousands of colored lights reflected in the surface of the river that flows near the museum. What’s more, I liked the design of the museum inside as well. There were white walls and perfect lighting, and nothing would bother contemplation. In many museums I have visited before there was a lot of distractions, but in this museum everything was done on the principle of simplicity, and that was very pleasing to me. Moreover, when we came inside of the museum, it was almost empty. There were just a few visitors, who were fascinated by various drawings and statues. Most of the visitors were teenagers, what slightly surprised me. I
Growing up near a city filled with museums, I was lucky enough to be exposed to amazing works of art. My visits to the Frick Collection, housed in one of the only remaining Gilded Age mansions in New York, have clearly been my favorite throughout the years. In that special ambiance, I discovered the glowing and extraordinarily clear tranquil paintings of Johannes Vermeer. I was drawn to the three Vermeer masterpieces in the permanent exhibit. The personal qualities of both the mansion and the paintings captured my fascination and I returned frequently. With extraordinary clarity, Vermeer was able to capture objects precisely through light and space. At first I wasn’t sure why his paintings appeared so different from the other works of his time, but I soon realized they were infused with light and
In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.
On Saturday, November 4th, I visited the Denver Art Museum in Denver, Colorado. The piece of art I decided to write about is called “A Mountain Symphony (Longs Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado)” This two-dimensional oil on canvas painting was completed in America in 1927 by Sven Birger Sandzén. This painting has not been on public view since 1927 and is located in the Denver Art Museum in Denver, Colorado. It was a “Free Day” at the museum, so I decided to attend by myself. I was unable to get a picture of myself in front of the work of art I decided to write about, but I did get several pictures of the artwork and a picture of myself with the “Free Day” sticker. I decided to write about this work of art because it was the only piece in the museum that really stood out to me and really caught my attention. A Mountain Symphony is a lively, beautiful landscape painting with a vibrant pallet filled with luminosity and broad brushstrokes. The sculptural quality of the paint surface reflect the influence of turn-of-the century modernist techniques. The balance of color and light brings happiness and joy to the viewer.
I went to the Art Walk event in Newberg and stopped by the Art Elements Gallery. I wanted to find a work that calls to me. At first I didn’t find much. The art was nice, but I didn’t get any special feelings on them. Finally, I spotted an oil painting on a wrapped canvas. It was called Full Moon. The work was created by Oregon citizen, Marilyn Higginson. It’s still hard to express what I felt when I saw this painting, but I felt a sense of peace when I saw the tranquil setting of the painting. My aesthetic scanning will give a description of the work, analyze the craftsmanship, the art elements, the art principles, and give my interpretation on the work.
For my first museum paper I went to OSV since it was my first and only choice of venue. I went to the Towne’s House since I was told I would be able to find what I was looking for. After struggling to find a painting that I could read the information on, I saw the various the paintings along some walls and ceilings.
With ticket sales for the Van Gogh exhibit in high demand, it’s no wonder the Art Institute of Chicago has a reputation of bringing classic, contemporary, and modern pieces to life. Reflective of the works that are housed within its walls, the Art Institute has had its own fair share of history that is worth discussing. Surviving and rebuilding itself after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the museum has used its revival to continue to educate and build future artists through works around the world. The School of the Art Institute, a part of the museum, houses more than 3000 students. With the future of art being led through this museum through patrons and students, what will be the next great masterpiece?
On November 24th, 2015, I went on quite an enjoyable adventure to the Timken Museum of Art. I wondered around the whole museum, but specifically spent a significant amount of time examining the Russian icons gallery. This was undeniably a unique style of art that was unlike anything I have ever seen before. For many reasons, the works made me feel very strange and uncomfortable as I looked at them. While the works are remarkable, the majority of them look bizarre and evoke an enormous sense of curiosity. Although the appearance of the images is unappealing to me, this trip impacted my view of world history in a dramatic way.
Union University Art Gallery plays host to several different artists’ galleries throughout the year, for free and open to the public. Currently on display is “Hodgepodge”, a collection of about ten canvases by Brian Bundren. While Bundren has been painting and displaying his artwork for quite some time (his first gallery was in the mid-1990s!), “Hodgepodge” contains paintings only from 2013-2016.
The piece I choose to critic is titled “Buscado por su madre” or “Wanted by his Mother” by Rafael Cauduro, no year. This piece is an Oil on Canvas painting that measured 48”x36” located at the Long Beaches MoLAA. The work is presented as one of a few Mexican artists that share an interest in their painting primarily figurative style, political in nature, that often narrated the history of Mexico or the indigenous culture. The painting is one of the first viewers see as they enter the Museum. It is at eye level and demonstrates a superb use of illusionistic realism that it creates the illusion of being real. The painting is of a old Missing poster of a man on a brick wall. What made it stand out in my eyes was the fact that it looked to be a three dimensional object on what looked like real bricks with the words wanted by mother on the top. Cauduro’s piece, in my eyes looked like he literally took a chunk out of a wall, and placed an old torn missing poster of a man on the front and put it out for display. Cauduro uses texture to represent the look of brick by applying thick strokes of paint creating a body of its own as and mimics the look and shape of brick. He also makes applies the same technique on the wanted poster by implying that it is old and torn by again layering his paint to create the
I had the opportunity to visit this museum before and I was very impressed and overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of the things I saw, however, this time during my visit, I gave critical attention to the East Wing Building of the art gallery. I was utterly amazed by the new pieces in the East Wing, which led
The work I selected was Routes of Influence which is a piece of art with words incepted within. This piece is said to have been based on the inspiration of emphasizing trajectories and this generation’s multi-directional sense of culture. Unfortunately, there are no specific details on who exactly made this piece but the Perez Art Museum.
The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.
Upon entering, I noticed the people’s admiration and appreciation for all compositions. I noticed collections that varied in culture but were treated with equal care and compassion. The museum had five distinctive collections: Asian, African, Photography, Modern, and Contemporary. These groups were organized in sections of the Museum. A temporary exhibition by the name of “Spotlight: Latin America” was my favorite. Specifically, the “Rider of the Apocalypse from Apocalypse de St. Jean”. My second favorite was in a different collection. Made by the master of photomontage; Jerry N. Uelsmann’s work caught my attention years ago with his strong contouring lines. His “Apocalypse II” is genius for its time. These are two very different pieces of
While at the museum I visited the West Galleries first. In there were a lot of charcoal paintings. They were all very powerful and had so much meaning to them. They
