Camille Pissarro's 'Apple Harvest In Europe'

1510, right in the middle of the Renaissance. The painting is rectangular in shape and

The image I chose for this paper is titled A Rose. The image is a painting painted in oil on a canvas and was painted by Thomas P. Anshutz. The painting was produced in Pennsylvania during 1907. I researched this image on ARTstor by using the term realism and then I narrowed down my search by selecting a filter to return paintings as well as setting the geography filter to North America. The painting belongs to The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection and is on display in the American Wing in the gallery of Images of Woman from 1880 to 1910.

The Fruits of Labor is a painting by the famous Mexican painter Diego Rivera. This painting was created in 1932, its medium is lithograph on cream wove paper, with the following sizes 16 7/16 in x 11 13/16 in; sheet: 22 1/2 in x 15 15/16 inches. According to the Portland Art Museum, “Diego Rivera is widely regarded as the greatest Mexican painter of the twentieth century. His large-scale, public murals expressed his Marxist politics—a strong commitment to workers’ rights and an abiding interest in the history of human progress and technology. His work drew widespread acclaim, if also sometimes controversy, and helped establish Rivera as an international celebrity in the 1930s and ’40s”. Through my research, I learned that Diego Rivera created a highly personal style by blending

Analyze the differences in leisure activities shown in the two paintings, and reflect about the social life of peasants (The Peasant Dance) and of urban dwellers in the 19th century (Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte).

This piece depicts the “men at work on the farm reflects New Deal era values of productive labor.”12 In this piece there are four men hard at work to build houses to live in and collect livestock for food. These men are seen cutting wood and placing said wood on houses for the roofs, as well as carrying live stock into one of the buildings for food preparation. In the background you can see the dark blue sky and green landscape and the many trees that go on for miles. Showing the great resources of the land they had settled

These clear, slick, and streamlined creations emphasize the parallel of natural beauty—industrial beauty, the magnificence of efficient, high functioning modernist art. Its element lies in prosperous mass production in the ageless advancing industry focused on efficiency, emphasizing and harmonizing with the repetitive drive for achievement displayed by Douglas. The combination of his juxtaposition with Gorges du Loup provides conceptual progression from the imagery of nature to the artistic appeal of mass production, adding sense in subtle connections in an exhibit riddled with countless different

In order to compose this assignment, I visited the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum (CAM). The USF Contemporary Art Museum is a compact museum on campus located near the Dance buildings and the Theatres. The museum opened its establishment in 1989 and has offered a wide range of art from around the world including the United States, Africa, Europe, and Latin America (usfcam.usf.edu). In order to keep students engaged in the art, the museum changes its exhibits a couple times a year. Currently, the exhibition on display is entitled Extracted and incorporates “the extraction and circulation of natural resources around the globe” (Megan Voeller). Despite the museum being not large in size, I was able to attain a sense of nature through photographs, sculptures, video messages, and banners produced from artists including Otobang Nkanga, Marina Zurkow, Claire Pentecost, Mary Mattingly and Daniel Shiffman. The social angle most strongly related to the exhibit on display at this time is nature and culture. Extracted was motivated by relationships between humans and the environment referring to “complex technical processes behind oil drilling and mining or industrial agriculture” (Megan Voeller). Most of the artists focus their work on nature including the environment, ecosystems, and life itself.

1.Flowering Chrysanthemum This was an art piece done by Leon Bonvin in 1863. He captures this scenery of the plant making it the focal point of the picture. You can see workers and other plants or buildings in the background, but the chrysanthemum plant really captures the viewers' eye with the bolder colors. 2.Top of flowering stem of Royen's Tree Cactus Created in 1916, this bright, bold, water color piece was done by a lady named Mary Emily Eaton.

Beside the pile of straw which has a wheel leaning against it, a farmer is stooping to collect timbers. Before a thatched cottage in the middle of the painting, several farmers carrying farm tools and riding horses silhouetted in the shadows. They form in groups as if they were discussing some deliberate issues. On the other pile which sits in the other side of the sandy road, a slightly stout farmer with a straw hat is sitting on straws to have a rest. Beside him, an older villager leaning on his stick and a comparatively shorter man who is carrying a basket are talking to him as if they were pleading him for some reason. The trees extend along the sandy road in a diagonal line, creating a spatial demarcation. In the far end of the road, there is a vague tall building with pinnacle roof. The sky above, which takes up nearly half of the painting, is pale and dusty, suggesting the end of the day in a hot arid climate.

Visual opulence, creativity, inimitable vision, and a style that is highly influential are the many characteristics of an admired movement in art history, that being of the Post-Impressionism movement (1875-1892). This movement, which was a by-product of the Impressionism movement, is the bridging gap between the two movements known as Realism and Expressionism. Post-Impressionism takes on some of the stylistic characteristics of these movements; however, it does not contain the all too glossy visuals of Realism or the heavily fantastic visuals of Expressionism, rather it is the intermediary of these two poles. My paper will discuss why this link was absolutely essential to the history of art movements, and I will be specifically using the

The Metropolitan Museum of Art calls “The Harvesters” a "watershed in the history of Western art" and the "first modern landscape". The workers carrying sheaves of wheat through the clearing, the people bathing in the pond, the children playing and the ships far away convey a sense of distance. Bruegel used the medium of oil to be used on wood when painting “The Harvesters”. He painted on the paint lightly, and delicately so the brush strokes were almost untraceable.

Judith Griggs, the editor of Cooks Source magazine, had published a piece on apple pie that was written by Monica Gaudio, a food blogger, without Monica’s permission. When Monica found out, she believed it was an accident and asked Judith for an apology and a donation of $130 to the Columbia School of Journalism. However, Judith, who believed that everything on the internet was public domain, gave Monica a half- hearted apology and refused to pay the money. As if that wasn’t enough, she proceeded to say that Monica was being unprofessional and should have been thankful that her story is so much better than how it originally was. Once the public found out about the incident, they started to write malicious comments on social media that

Les Glaneuses (The Gleaners) is a compendium of Pissarro’s treatment of pastoral life, relating directly to the seminal painting of the same name (1887-1889). While the painted work is Neo-Impressionist in its treatment of tone, its texture is made up of a discrete series of dots, dashes and commas, anticipating that Pissarro would soon abandon the common aesthetic doctrine outlined by Seurat and Signac (see fig. 1).

According to "Edouard Manet","These painting was first displayed in Paris in 1865.” It is an oil painting. The painting shows

Vincent Van Gogh is a well-known artist to people because of one of his paintings, The Starry Night. Van Gogh has painted many other pieces during his lifetime including one that is currently on display at the Minnesota Institute of Art, Olive Trees. This painting is part of a series of olive tree paintings consisting of a total 18 pieces of art. The one at the Minnesota Institute of Art was painted November of 1889 and is known as “Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and Sun”. Through a contextual analysis of this piece a lot can be discovered about its meaning. When this piece is compared to other artwork by Van Gogh even more fascinating details emerge about this piece of art.
