Cut Sculpture By Yoko Ono

Although examining art requires a huge knowledge, my intention in this essay is to analyze a piece of art, besides lyrics and the context, I’m going to examine it by following the steps presented by Alain de Botton.

Date of Birth: He was born in 1386, the exact date of birth is unknown

Hamilton’s sculpture stands as a representation of the Civil War’s many brave and courageous United States colored troops also known as the (USTC) One side of Ed Hamilton’s sculpture has the title “The spirit of freedom,” On the other side there is a text that says “Civil War to Civil rights and beyond.” The memorial honors more than 200,000 who severed In the Union army and navy during the Civil War. The 209,145 names inscribed on the walls the surround the sculpture honors the fighters of freedom. On the highest wall in the memorial there is an 1863 quote by Fredrick Douglas: "Who would be free themselves must strike the blow. Better even die free than to live slaves.” The United States began the organization (USTC) in 1863, the enlistment

Greek art, especially sculpture, was a common way to explore and reach past the confines of mankind’s natural appearance be it through penises, huge muscles, or generalized unrealistic body standards. Hercules and the Hydra, a sculpture by Mathias Gasteiger, presents an image of masculinity through the expressive posture and form of Hercules once you look past those gleaming bronze pectorals, and into the intricate details of the piece.

Art and sports are my topics for this essay. My year is 1980. It was a very important time in the art and sports world. The biggest moment in sports history in 1980 was the “Miracle on Ice” This is when the USA hockey team beat the gold medalist Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had won the gold medal in six of seven previous winter olympics, and were the favorite to win once more in Lake Placid. The final of the nerve racking game was 3 to 4. It was a very close game but the USA hockey team managed to hold the Soviets off.

Rest Energy (Fig.5) is a four-minute video that shows the trust Marina puts into her work. Marina has an arrow that is pointed directly at her heart. Marina then leans back bringing the bow with her. Ulay, a former lover and collaborator, leans backward, pulling the arrow back causing the tension to rise between the two. It’s her trust in Ulay that slows this piece to happen. A few years after this piece, the two performance artists decide to go their own way and for one final piece, they each walk in opposite directions on the Great Wall of China. This became their last piece together entitled The Lovers. Ulay then decided to pay Marina an unexpected visit at her 2010 piece The Artist is

I agree with you Jasmine, he did portray black women in a negative way, but society did that a lot back then. What was the norm back then is being bias towards a group now. In my film class, we watched a film from the 1920's. Instead of using black people, white people would paint their faces, to portray black people. Even when they were portraying black people average things white people do like eating or shopping, they would still make white people paint their faces black. If anyone would do that now, they would be arguments left and right. Here is a picture of the Mona Lisa cubed, it looks so

Henri Matisse was a famous painter but he gave it all up for a huge colorful collage that was made out of cut paper. Many would think, this is something that a children would do, but I find it very creative to see a painter use color paper and shape it into image. His cut out was carefully rework and thought out. Henri Matisse “The Cut Out” work is display in the museum art of New York. There, his work is on base on the cut out. In the museum they own one of his most famous cut out which is named “The Dance”. In the image he uses the paper cut out to move around to figure out his composition. When I look at the image, I can’t even recognized that the painter uses color paper, it looks like a painting to me. I enjoy how I can’t tell that the

Examine a body art/live art practitioner in depth, using two pieces of their work as case studies. Using these pieces, contextualize the artist within the history of body-based/ live art performance. In this essay, I will be exploring the use of abjection through body based performance. To gain some understanding of what abjection is and how you can relate it to yourself.

The most interesting piece of artwork that I had the chance to come across in this course was Bernini’s sculpture of St. Teresa De Avila. I have taken many art classes throughout my time as a college student, but I enjoyed this sculpture immensely because it is a piece that had the ability to touch my heart, mind, and soul. The three elements that inhibited me to choose this painting was the emotions displayed by the figures, the intricate details, and the overall message innocence and beauty that the art depicts.

In this essay I will be looking into the work of Marina Abramovic in relation to the Feminist movement. By looking at her work, I aim to emphasise her influence on this movement. In this essay, I shall also briefly examine the works of Abramovic, particularly Art is Beautiful, Artist must be Beautiful (1975) and four of her performances from her Rhythm series (10 (1973), 0 (1974), 2 (1974), and 5 (1974)). I shall describe the history of the Feminist movement and its influence in order to develop an understanding of Abramovic’s influence.

Yoko Ono is known for being the famous John Lennon’s wife and the scapegoat that is blamed for breaking up the pop/rock sensation group, The Beatles. Unfortunately, She is lesser known and given less media credit for being a fantastic alternative artist.

Yoko Ono is one the most influential performance, multi media and avante guarde artist of the 20th century who`s work has been over shadowed by her personnel life. Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1933 Ono attended the prestigious Gakushuin Unversity, while here her family moved to America to escape the war.Art appealed to Yoko `shortly after turning twenty years old, Yoko Ono discovered art out of necessity. “Art is a means of survival,”`1 she discovered this living through WWII where Yoko and her siblings would imagine all the foods they could not possess,this gave them hope in the bleakness and became the purpose of much of her art. It was also the inspiration for her earliest performance piece Lighting Piece (1955).

A fascination with the human body, body were an experience that could somehow be held in common. The ways in which we might experience the body as connected or represent it as disconnected in a live performance. Shifting attention from traditional art object to the artist’s physical action further proposed that art existed in real space and real time. Marina Abramovic, a pioneer of performance art began using her own body as the subject, object, and medium in the early 1970s as she said, ‘In performance my body is object and subject.’ For the exhibition

Artworks are those that use natural tools in an aesthetically pleasing way, to express some deep meanings desired by the artist, for which this art is found. These works can be analyzed by looking at a variety of aspects individually and these elements are often called elements They are very useful for criticizing or understanding any artwork as a whole. The materials used by the artist creating the artwork in the documentary "Mystery Masterpiece", the shape of the work is the shape of which it is, including its size or its volumetric perception, and the artwork has three dimensions; the depth as well as the width and height, the three-dimensional form is the basis of sculpture, yet the two-dimensional artwork can achieve the illusion of the
