Criticism In Salvador Dalli's The Temptation Of Bel Dali

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.

The painting itself was created in 1937 and depicts a rural home. Outside it appears that someone has come to visit, as there is a vehicle parked out front and a man standing at the doorway of the house. Inside the home it can be seen that someone has passed away and loved ones are mourning their loss. Above the home there is a spiritual battle taking place for the soul of the deceased. Light has parted the clouds and there is a horse driven chariot followed by a parade of angels coming down from above. The spirit itself is surrounded by even more angels with trumpets in hand, ready to take the soul up to eternal glory. In a nearby tree is another angel who appears busy with a demon who

This painting consists of two small panels in which one panel depicts the crucifixion of Jesus and the other portrays scenes that associate themselves with the Last Judgement. In the first panel you can see a crowd surround Jesus during his crucifixion. In the background, you can see a clear picture of Jerusalem. On the bottom you can you see five people that appear to be

The painting itself has a plethora of things going on it and there is a lot of symbolism in this piece of art. In the sky, it looks like there is either a moon or a sun that it is setting in the sky. The moon or sun is about a

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

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

The art piece that caught my attention was at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The piece is called The Adoration of the Magi, painted by Girolamo de Carpi. The Holy Family and the Three Magi’s are illustrated in the painting. They seem to be sitting outside on the ground behind a home made of brick. A sense of space and perception is created because in the distance, behind the people in the painting there is a beautiful view of a mountain and the sun in the sky far from where the people are. In the artwork, de Carpi paints clothes on each person besides baby Christ, and the clothing differ in color; there is red, green, yellow, blue. The colors seemed somewhat bright, in a way indicating that the painting is representing a happy time. Also painted are horses depicted behind a short wall, next to the horses seems to be a servant giving one of the Magis a vessel of some sort.

location this painting depicts. It seems to be of biblical nature, as both people in the

The first piece of art we will be looking at was done by Jeff Harold. It is called The Future and is a black and white photograph taken on 2015. It is 19.5 inches by 13 inches displayed in the gallery at The College of Lake County. The back and white photo is of what appears to be either a bridge or possibly train-tracks which is centered in the photo. The perspective of the photograph is from under the bridge looking down the length of it. The bridge is resting on a cement path the fallows the bridge out into what seems to be water and fog which appears on either side of the cement path. This work is a great example of lines, because it has many going various directions. All of the lines I’m about to mention are hard, straight, and generally

Both sides of the painting contains different colors, which creates different emotions. The abstract feelings conveyed in this painting have caused me to think that maybe both sides describes small portions of what the man feels; the gorgeous valleys indicate his state of calmness and as he gets more and more unhappy the scenery changes to coldness and grey colors. When his mind is continuously and increasingly being tormented his thoughts start to diminish, causing the man to feel like he is progressively getting crazier. He clearly does not like this since the man in the painting is running away from the madness occurring in hell, which can also be portrayed as him running away from his vicious and unholy thoughts. The emotions Giovanni Savoldo is conveying through the colors and craziness causes me to assume that he was trying to infer that Saint Anthony was slightly emotionally unstable and was experiencing all of the emotions depicted in the painting. As I studied the painting more and more, I discovered that the man is running away from the demons, holding his hands in prayer to remind himself that he cannot be defined by the things that haunt him.

The painting has some bright colors on the clothes of the people. The colors of the clothes are mostly pink, blue or red. The background of the entire piece is gold as well as the frame it is in. The frame is very detailed in the spirals and branching off decorative pieces, it looks like the opening to a cathedral. The people are drawn out very well, 22 people in the entire painting. The painting is a 2D painting as well. The lines on the clothing make it look realistic as well as the facial expressions of those in the paintings. The lighting is very bright making it look almost regal. The entire background of the painting is entirely gold. There are also gold highlights in the shape of circles circling everyone's heads in the painting. The painting itself is not too big, not more than 1-2 feet in length and 3 feet in height with the frame included. In the picture there are a lot of objects, there are two musicians with a violin and a harp. Other objects include books, most likely Bibles, a cross, a crown, a huge cathedral like stage that Mary and Jesus sit upon, and possibly a sword.

So Max Ernst recreated this painting by painting the evils of World War 1. The recreated version of the temptation of St. Anthony shows the deeper darkness, emotional trauma, and illustrates the horror and evilness in that dream world showing how distressed the society is. According to “ The origins of surrealism”, mentions how artist’s during that movement are supposed to create something

The art and beauty in this painting is exemplified through the eyes of Boucher. It starts with a beautiful couple taking a rest after picking up some followers. Their clothing looks very elegant and colorful which shows that they are aristocrats. The man’s eyes are gazing at a shepherdess who gathered her own flowers. Their eyes are locked despite the man having his own woman right in front of him. The light brushstrokes of the dresses, flowers, and trees

This painting depicts a crucifixion outside the city of Jerusalem, discernible by the centrally planned church and rounded red rotunda in the background of the city. Rounded structures that resemble towers align the walls of the city, another definitive element of the biblical city. Although the painting clearly represents an idealized Jerusalem, it emulates a contemporary European town of the Northern Renaissance age, with Gothic architecture and what resembles shops at the front of the city. The painter also depicts the mountainous terrain of Jerusalem, but portrays greenery that the actual desert city would not have. The contemporary background makes the painting less abstract and more relatable to the viewer.

The painting was discovered by the Nazis and was stored in a salt mine. At the top of the painting they have those scribes who describe the coming of Christ, and the moment they predicted it's unfolding underneath the scene. In the painting we have the Angel Gabriel, holding flowers which suggest the purity of Mary. In the piece, there was a clear sign of a conversation between Mary and the Angel Gabriel. It was so intriguing to find the words that are converting are written upward and upside down. And the face expression on Mary apparently gives a sense of confusion almost as she's elaborating hard. The painter impresses me. Marvelously done as if I was flipping a comic book scene without missing a single slide and I was jumping into a particular part; so many small details that are so neat and so divine, it's mind-blowing.
