Untitled #57 from the series III Form and Void Full created in 2011 by Laura Letinsky found at the George Eastman Museum is an inject print displaying left half of the artwork with two and three dimensional objects while the right half filled with space with a grayish background. On the left side of the artwork, there are cups and plates with different depths of dimensions scattered in the center of the several papers they are on. There is also a three dimensional water splashing on top of a plate as if it was being poured into the plate from the top of the artwork. There are also three yellowish-red pears with a small wine glass close to them by the plate being poured by water. There are plates that are split in half with small pieces shattered around. This whole picture seems to be on a piece of paper where the edges of the paper is visible dividing Letinsky’s inject print into filled space on the left and blank space on the …show more content…
I can see the water is three dimensional and recognize a realistic plate and a sheet of paper from the use of shades to describe their features. There are some confusions for me because of Letinsky's use of shadow. Some objects have shadow and some do not. Those with shadows have different angles showing that these objects shouldn’t be in the same place they are placed in. I have difficulties determining from where certain objects are flat and realistic. Since the whole artwork is filled with a grayish background and the right side of the artwork is a blank space with its shadow, the left side of the artwork is emphasized. Moreover, it highlights the yellowish-red pears which then draws the audience’s eyes to the spilling water nearby them due to their flatness compared to the water. This is only my opinion from my perception of the artwork. If another person viewed it, he or she, even possibly for Letinsky, to comment
Then there are also many psychological lines to be seen in the work. One such line is of the woman and the floor, where she is staring down towards it. Another is from the young child and the store clerk, showing a defiance between the two. Next, light and value are not very contrasting in this painting, with only the basic highlights and the shadows seen. It isn’t completely contrasting or contradicting since the colors blend well together with close to the same value ranges, dark colors seen throughout except for the people’s pale faces. There also seems to be a variety of light sources since the woman’s face along with the shop clerk and the young boy’s is lit up by what seems to be a light bulb since they’re much brighter and highlighted and then the men and women in the back aren’t really as bright, except for the ones who close to the open door, creating a blue tinge from the outside light. The shapes shown through the painting is shown to be either very round or very geometrical. There are organic shapes in things such as the umbrella or even the back of the chair, but mostly it is either straight lines and geometrical shapes. The volume shown in the painting is very much implied, correctly showing the
Morisot uses a variety of techniques to illustrate a peaceful moment between a mother and daughter on the seaside. Throughout the piece, Morisot uses a series of short and spontaneous lines to create the figures and masses. The presence of these loose brush strokes throughout the piece create both rhythm and unity, making the piece simple and composed. However, variety is also created by the strong contrast between the foreground and background of this piece. The overlapping of the woman, child, and deck with the ocean and the disproportional shapes of the people and ships create an illusion of depth and space. This depth separates the masses present in the foreground from the background. The colors used in the foreground and background are also juxtaposed, with bolder and darker colors being used in the foreground and more bright and muddied colors being used in the background. This contrast establishes emphasis on the masses present in the foreground of the piece (the mother and child). The implied lines created by the gazes of the mother and child also contrast, with the mother’s view
As a formal analysis, this artwork has a figure in the center of the page, which can be assumed to be the focal point due to its positioning in the center of the picture plane. Also, this artwork is monochromatic, and the only color used is the hue green. Towards the top left-hand corner, there are darker shades of green, which make this part seem to be in front of the rest of the picture by using overlapping to convey depth. Also, towards the right side of the picture, the people seem lighter and appear farther away than the dark shaded buildings Additionally, since the figure in the center of the work is larger and more detailed than the other figures, it appears that the center figure is closer to the viewer.
Luis Tapia Heavenly Toaster is the one that caught my eye from the all the other art that I got to see when I went to the Denver museum. I don’t know what it was if it actually was because he had to do with the Virgin Mary or the bright colors and something different and unique that I had never seen before. When I First saw it from the corner of my eye I was like who would do a piece on a toaster not knowing exactly what it was. But once I got closed and read the note card that Luis Tapia had right next to his piece gave me a good understanding of why he chose this piece and why he did it. The card stating that it combined the Hispanic tradition and mischievous sense of humor. Coming for a Hispanic background I can relate to Luis Tapia when he stated that people seeing religious images on highways embankments, walls of buildings, potato chips, and tortillas or in this case freshly toasted bread. The way he had his piece displayed represents in some way how the Hispanic culture displays there’s religious pieces in a pedestal. The colors of his piece are bright and every colorful that when you first see the piece it makes you want to go see it before any other piece. Seeing the details that were in carving the Virgin Mary and Jesus in a small piece like a toaster front and back is very time consuming but also very artistic because seeing the picture is very detailed orientated and is known of what was carved. After seeing his art piece and getting a little
Orchids & Art, a quaint store tucked away behind Arena Liquor off Corporate Lake Drive in Columbia, Missouri, was brimming with wooden picture frames of various sizes waiting to be picked like ripe apples hanging from an apple tree. Navigating through the back of the store was like trekking through a maze. Glazed frames lay in the walkway, while others were plastered across the wall. An ethereal garden of beautiful orchids sat in a small corner towards the front of the store. Orange and white petals blossomed from pots of assorted shapes and sizes. It added a feminine touch to the masculine wooden frames. Kelly Coalier’s cartoon-like paintings, including one of George Washington with purple guns above his head, sat for
At 1st glance this piece does look like a photograph, even a painting, but this series is a work of mixed-media layered one on top of the other in a box. Yet this assemblage of random found objects, with the artists
Drip, drip, drop. The appearance of the rain drops hitting the water of the pool reminds me of stones being throw in the water, and how they created those perfect circles that would expand until they faded away. Though the stones made the water react, it was still the same water; it went back to being flat. Do you suppose that we take these simple visuals, and make them into something more meaningful than what it really is? It really is just simple nature, yet we put more beauty and symbolism into. At least, that was how I see the world now that my mind no longer sees tricks as magic.

The object that is being analyzed is a sheet of United States Postal Service commemorative postage stamps featuring the musician Roy Acuff. The individual stamp is a square shape with wavy edge, and the artwork depicts a black and white image of Roy Acuff playing the fiddle. In addition, in the upper, left corner the name “Roy Acuff” is printed in red, while in the bottom, right corner the print reads “USA 37.” The whole sheet contains twenty postage stamps (USPS, 2017). These stamps went on sale on September 14, 2003, and 52 million of them were printed. (Smithsonian National Postal Museum, 2003). The design of this postage stamp reflects a style of art that was used on many postage stamps at the time as well as…

This young outsider is quickly gain a following with his imaginative and beautiful sculptures. Ben Young was raised in Waihi Beach, New Zealand; however, he currently resides in Sydney, Australia. Young has created his glass artistry for the past ten years. Some attribute his craft to growing up on the beaches of New Zealand. Hand crafted from glass each of Young’s sculptures are hand drawn, hand cut and handcrafted, layer on layer to create each of his beautiful sculptures. The texture and color of the glass is different in every piece he makes, ensuring one-off and truly unique pieces of artwork. In this piece of art you can make out chiaroscuro in the depth of the water against the rocks. An implied line is formed between the water and ocean
This image contains multiple realistic objects. The objects that are seen by looking at this artwork objectively include a bridge, six people holding umbrellas on the bridge, and someone rowing or paddling on a board in the water. Two of the umbrellas are yellow, two other umbrellas are grey, and one individual is attempting to cover their head by a jacket or a coat. The bridge is over a large body of water which is lighter blue is one area and dark blue in the bottom corner; also by looking in the background I see white objects that

Claude-Joseph Vernet made a painting that brings your attention to the foreground. In the front, there is a boat being boarded. Some of the people that are not boarding the boat are standing by the sea. In the sea, some boats are sailing off in the distance. One of the boats in the distance is a large boat that gives the illusion of being three-dimensional. The form gives this illusion because of the reflection in the sea. If you look in the lower-right, you can see the light from the sun illuminating the sky. This light is hidden behind a large mountain that also has a three-dimensional form. There is also lots of texture in the painting. Some texture is seen in the mountains and ground giving a rough look, and some is seen in the sea in the form of ripples. On top of the mountain in the lower-right, there is greenery that has an illusion of being light and feathery. In that mountain, there is an arch that makes the other side visible. In the far distance, you can see a faint
