The Philips Collection located at 1600 21st Street, NW, Washington, DC 20009 is a block north of DuPont Circle, and houses a collection of Modern painting from a multitude of modern art movements including German Expressionism to Abstract Expression. These paintings adorn the walls of the first three floors, and the basement contains the library. The Phillips collection not only houses paintings, but also has an array of modern sculptures, and photographs too. The dialogue created between the viewers and the artwork exhibits was immense and thought provoking. However, two paintings considerably stood out. Reclining Figure, an oil painting produced by Pablo Picasso in the year of 1934 mounts a wall on the third floor, and has the dimensions …show more content…
Even though Pablo Picasso was a leading figure in the art movement of Cubism, and Franz Marc was a leading figure in the art movement of German Expressionism, more specifically the Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). Deer in the Forest 1 by Franz Marc represents Cubism and Reclining Figure by Pablo Picasso represents German Expressionism because of the characteristics the paintings exhibits.
The composition of Deer in the Forest 1 by Franz Marc consist of a forest landscape with a group of deer situated in the bottom middle left of the composition, a wild bird flying, and trees growing vertically in the background. There are five geometrically shaped deer. The first deer is laying on the ground, and is looking restfully to the left. The face of this deer is more distinctive in characteristics, compared to the other deer’s in the picture. The second deer is located to the right of the first deer. The body position of this deer is not as distinctive, and could be laying, jumping or sitting. The abstraction of the third deer, which is to the right of the second deer, has unrecognizable facial features. However, the body position creates some movement onto the viewer’s eye because of the

Muted colors are toned down by reducing the saturation of color. The use of muted colors is an archetypal characteristic of the Cubism art movement, as a way to focus on the subject matter (The deer), creates shallow space, and not distract the viewer. The color pallet consists of the muted primary colors of blue, red, and yellow. Franz Marc always associated color to certain meanings, and his approach to color theory is stated in a letter written to fellow artist August Macke which says “Blue is the male principle, astringent and spiritual. Yellow is the female principle, gentle, gay and spiritual. Red is matter, brutal and heavy and always the color to be opposed and overcome by the other two” (Marc). However, in the composition of the painting, the colors in the background go from blue, then red is directly located behind the group of deer, then a tinge of yellow. The color blue ensconces and surrounds the red, except for the upper portion of the left hand side, which is offset by a dash of yellow. Mixed from the color blue on the right side, and the yellow on the left, the secondary color of green swallows up the rest of the upper half of the background. Secondary colors like orange and green, are used on the lower portion of the composition, in which the deer are colored orange, and the foliage is green. The use of light shatters from the bottom right
The Roe Deer at a Stream shows a scene with a great measure of greenery such as the trees, grass, and bushes. Along the middle there is a stream with running water that goes into the left side of the painting. There are two deer in the stream and a third one is beside the stream on the grass. There are many trees that reveal a cloudy sky towards the top of the artwork. On the right side of the piece there is a cliff that is a reddish-brown which is different from the green tones that are on most of the artwork. The painting is very detailed in texture and value as seen on the hill in the background and the shading of the rock which gives it a realistic feel. Overall, the tones of the painting are earthy colors due to it being a nature scene.
Does the film that the father is watching have any purpose in the story? Or is it perhaps just a detail to make it feel more real?
This chapter begins with Jack still playing baseball with his team, but that doesn't last long. Soon, his mother is there and chases him around the bases until she grabs him and drives him home. The only thing she said to him was when she threw him in his room. Right before the door slammed shut she shouted YOUR GROUNDED at the top of her lungs and stomped away.
The total amount of deer seen on camera one was twenty total. (Fig. 3) Camera one was in a secluded area of the forest and captured two different bucks. One was believed to be a couple years old with a small set of antlers while the second buck was much larger both in body and antler size is believed to be older. The deer varied in size and all stayed within a couple yards from one another. Both cameras experienced interference from bypassers who noticed that the cameras were there.
With an estimated 19,520 deer maimed, dying gruesome, inhumane deaths at the hands of British Columbia drivers every year a solution needs to be found (“The Facts”). With the over population of deer in Victoria, a sight becoming more common, is the carcass of a deer which has been impaled by the bumper of an unfortunate motorist. These deaths are not only cruel and inhumane for the deer but also pose a danger to the motorist’s. The danger which deer pose to cyclists is one that cannot be overlooked. Cyclists do not have the added protection that motorist’s enjoy and are at higher risk of serious injury when a collision occurs. The menace rutting deer expose children and pets to is a
Franz Marc was a German artist and printmaker, and also one of the key statistics of the German Expressionist movement. Franz Marc was born in February 8, 1880 in Munich and past away in March 4, 1916, eventually Marc was only 36 years old. Wilhelm, the father, was an expert landscape painter; his mother, Sophie, was a strict Calvinist. Marc began to study at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich in 1900. In 1903 and 1907, he spent time in France, intensely in Paris, visiting the city’s museums and copying many paintings, a conventional way for artists to study and improve technique.
There is no other big-game animal in North America like the white-tailed deer. The whitetails habitat is so widespread that it covers just about all of North America and parts of Central America. The white-tailed deer is the most commonly hunted big game animal ever. Before the settlers arrived, an estimated 30 million whitetails inhabited what is now the United States and Canada. But as settlers pursued them for food and market hunters slaughtered them with snares, traps, and set guns, the deer population underwent a disastrous decline. By 1900, only 400,000 whitetails remained.
The Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a Visual text about a 13-year-old boy named Ricky. Ricky changes and develops in the bush and at his new home throughout the whole story. He had never had a real family; he'd been thrust aside, from home to home, getting pushed to the side and abandoned. He never knew what it was like to have a real family who loved him. Since he never felt loved it caused him to retaliate and do many bad things.
In another hour, it’s clear I’ve got to find a place to camp. Earlier today I thought we were going to go on a simple hunt. My dad and I were out in the woods walking to our deer stand. We don’t take much when we hunt, just guns, food, and water. Dad was giving me a lot of advice on what to do if you end up by yourself in the middle of the woods. It was weird because I thought I knew everything about the woods. We finally found our favorite hunting spot with our deer stands. We got up in our stand, and Dad said he forgot his bear spray in the truck. You always need bear spray when hunting in Alaska. He told me to stay put and wait for him to come back. That is where it all went wrong. After an hour, I started to get worried. Then
To have a safe and enjoyable road trip, an individual needs to pay attention to animals who may cross the road, have bright lights on for safety in heavily populated deer country, and get attention if injured, so that more injuries do not occur. Keeping people safe from car casualties or injuries due to deer overpopulation is important. According to an article on deer collisions, “Cars and deer can be a lethal combination” (“Car and Deer”). This is evidence that deer crossing the road and hitting cars could be dangerous. Also the article states, “Deer migration and mating season generally runs from October through December, and causes a dramatic increase in the movement of the deer population” (“Car and Deer”).
Have you ever wanted to go hunting in the summer when you are free of work and activities? Is it a problem that you would be interested in to change? I would like to change this law so I could go hunting when I am able to. Deer season all year round is important to all the hunters and wannabe hunter. I want to change the law that you can only hunt in one season because it is making deer being overpopulated, It would let people who are busy during the season hunt, and It would make deer meat sell more at restaurants. The first issue is that deer are becoming very overpopulated.
The third Saturday of November was one filled with conflicting emotions: excitement, fear, optimism, and nervousness. The screeching sound of the alarm at 4:00 a.m. initiated a sense of panic and thrill throughout me; it was the opening day of the gun deer hunting season. Within minutes, I was dressed from head to toe in bright, blaze orange that could be recognized from miles away. I reluctantly, yet willingly, climbed into the truck to head to the hunting land in Adams County, Wisconsin. My stomach felt like it was tied into knots. My mind was again flooded with conflicting emotions. I began to wonder: will I get a deer? Will I not get a deer? Will I get a buck?
The tree on the bottom right of the painting demonstrates modeling, which is the contrast between light and shadow in a work. The shading on the left side of the tree is darker than the right side of the tree. The tree’s local color (true color) is a light tan (bark of the tree) in comparison to its perceptual color (implied), which is a darker gray/brown.
“The Deer at Providencia”, by Annie Dillard is a literary report which digs into the content of suffering. Four North Americans exploring the bank of Napo River on their way to the village observe a deer caught in a rope (which was a trap) suffering and struggling to save its life. Following the central theme of the story, Annie Dillard goes on talking about the suffering that is faced by a man when he was burnt and how after going through so much, seeing the deer doesn’t affect her so much. By this she extends the theme to the fact of universal suffering and how it is needed in every life for a person to understand the importance of the moments he can cherish.
It was my favorite time of the year again, deer hunting season. Going to my cabin up in northern Minnesota and doing what I love was never a let down. The peacefulness, liveliness, and belongingness of being in the woods made deer hunting the most enjoyable part of the year.
