Discharge Haulers On The Volga Analysis

I think the artist is able to communicate the bad condition of the ship and its crew is in. The mood of the work is scary and gloomy. The design and intensity of the waves, the changing weather, and the ships in the ocean seem to make the scene come alive. It really conveys a since of naturalism in the painting the way it depicts the environment around the ship.

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

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.

The introduction of Christianity into Russia spurred the development of the country’s fine arts. For 600 years, Christian forms of art dominated Russian painting, music, architecture, and literature. Russian artists, however, applied their unique vision and dramatically altered the style imported so it became their own. Especially in painting, the blending of foreign influences with native genius produced some of the world’s most beautiful icons. In the early 15th century Andrey Rublyov, one the greatest of

However, further connection in context and content can be developed when analyzing the connection of the works roots and art in history. Exodus exhibits the reality of human suffering as a result of war and oppression during the Hungarian Revolution. The historical relevance of this work dives into a deeper significance than its basic face value. The oppression and struggle for power signified in Exodus also translates into Figure 2. Both cultures, in their own time have faced their traditions and way of life being threatened. As Hungarian citizens are forced to leave their country, Ojibwa members were constantly threatened by European immigrants. The human experience is key in understanding and studying art. Besides the main styles and usage in appearance, the connection to a point in time and the influence of that time allows the audience to connect with the artist and the characteristics of the artwork. Audiences are able to connect past themes to present day issues, such as the difficulties facing many Syrian refugees and the numerous Native American women who have gone missing. The importance of home and culture is evident in both works despite their different purposes and artistic modes. Limits are explored and barriers of past, present are future are removed when audiences are able to interpret the work from any point in time and understand the significance of its visual and non-visual means.

Francisco Goya’s The Executions of May 3, 1808, is a remarkably interesting piece of art. This piece represents a protest against the Napoleon Occupational Army in Madrid. There are various visual elements and design principles in the art, which will be covered. The beginning of this ILO will contain the visual elements first, followed by the design principles, and what they mean in the artwork.

Two of the paintings I came across, Ludolf Backhuysen, Ships in a Stormy Sea off a Coast, and Philips Wouwerman, Stag Hunt in a River were very similar in many ways. First of all, they were both European art, they are both 200 plus years old, and they both show very hectic times. The first painting, Ships in a Stormy Sea, displays several ships, (although it is hard to see the other 4), being almost entirely swallowed by an angry, wavy ocean, during an extremely stormy journey. All of the ships are at different levels and some are leaned over, and tipped more than others, allowing the viewer to realize the true horror occurring in this painting. The amount of line that this artist uses in this painting is tremendous as well, as he presents plenty of diagonal lines throughout the painting, such as on all of the ships sails. This piece of art is extremely realistic and gives me chills when I imagine what these sailors must have been dealing with that night. Not only does this painting show a hectic time, but another painting titled, Stag Hunt in a River. This painting displays a village, in the mountains, lying on a river, where hunters, horses, and dogs of the village are attacking a deer that is attempting to escape from them. This painting seems to describe a very hectic time for everyone, as the dogs are desperately trying to do their job, the deer is attempting to escape, and the hunters are relying on the deer for their food. Although there are many obvious differences in these two paintings, the roles are reversed in the two, as in Ships in a Stormy Sea, nature is doing the damage, while the people are trying to avoid danger. On the other hand, Stag Hunt in a River, displays nature being attacked and endangered by the people themselves. My favorite

Romare Bearden’s art exhibition “Vision and Activism” portrayed his perception of society and the need to put in motion social change. The Black History Museum is where I observed his art collection. The set up of the pieces were by category and was not congested because there was a moderate amount of space between each piece. For first impressions the two art pieces titled “Noah and the Seventh Day (Prevalence of ritual series)” and “The Family” is highly detailed and the use of tone exhibits dramatic traits in the first piece while the second piece has tranquility. The subject matter for “Noah and the Seventh Day” is culture and for “The Family” is a focus on African American lifestyle. Intently scrutinizing “Noah and The Seventh Day” the setting is outside among the sea and animals are on a boat. The color is subtle, slightly vibrant, and uses cool tertiary colors. The texture has a grainy and hard effect as if he stippled using a paint brush. The shapes are organic but the water had strong emphasis where the lines gradually got deeper and broader away from the horizon. On the contrary, “The Family” setting took place inside of a house with women gathered at the table preparing food. The colors are subtle, earthy, and include warm tertiary colors. The background texture has a fine and smooth appearance. He included recognizable shapes such as cylinders, rectangles, and squares. By Bearden applying cross contour, pointillism, and cross

19. Which of the following movements was instrumental in creating the scene shown in this painting 33

At first glance, the Red Fish looks like a decoration piece that someone would hang in their home or lake house for decoration. However, with a more in depth look, viewers will see that this painting illustrates much more than it appears. In 1990, Leonard Koscianski used a piece of canvas, 64’’x46’’ to paint the image of a fish out of water. Koscianski used oil and dark shades of red, orange, blue, green, and white to create the Red Fish. The Red Fish was painted vertically with the fish as the main focus point. Behind some green blade grass, a large red- orange fish appears to be leaping out of the water. The size of the fish helps show that the fish is the center piece of the painting. Behind the fish there is a small patch of land, filled with blade grass with two white house’s sitting off in the distance. Directly behind the houses is a section of woods. From left to right, the tree tops seem to follow and up and down pattern. The dark blue sky begins at the tree line and ends at the top of the painting. Throughout the sky there are patches of clouds that are an off white color. The contrast between the colors used by Koscianski show a lot of detail, but did not take away from the huge red- orange fish. Along with the color scheme, Koscianski used lines to add detail to the fish and to provide depth to the painting. With proper use of colors and lines, Koscianski was able to create the Red Fish. In 1991, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts

The engulfing size of the painting (250.5 x 159.5 cm) drives the audiences mind into a hypnotic frenzy as they are overwhelmed by bright and sensual colours, which, have the ability to evoke deep emotions and realisations. Kandinsky has portrayed this through the disorientation of his own personal visions of society during the industrial revolution. The rough yet expressive outline of buildings, a rainbow and the sun gives reference to realism as it allows viewers to connect and understand underlying motifs and shapes yet is painted abstractly to move away from the oppressive and consumerist society. Thus, Kandinsky breaks boundaries through his innovative approach to his art-making practise concluded from his personal belief of ‘art for arts sake’. He believed that art should mainly convey the artist’s personal views and self-expressionism that translated a constant individuality throughout his work from an inner intentional emotive drive. This broke traditional boundaries as art in the renaissance period was meant to be a ‘narration’ or an artwork where an audience could learn and benefit from. This is evidently shown in Composition IV as it exemplifies Kandinsky’s inner feelings towards the industrialised society

The subject matter of Rain, Steam and Speed is the Maidenhead railway crossing of the Thames. A golden brown landscape punctuated by the river to the left takes up the bottom portion of the painting. The top half is tinged by a blue sky that is marked by swirls of gold and white,

A painting that portrays the sublime is Mercker’s Copper Mill at Duisburg on Rhine River (Türk, 2003, p. 266). The painting shows a large factory that is right on a river, and the machines present in the painting

Russian Avant-Garde was born at the start of the 20th century out of intellectual and cultural turmoil. Through the analysis of artworks by Aleksandr Rodchenko and El Lissitzky this essay attempts to explore the freedom experienced by artists after the Russian Revolution in 1917. This avant-garde movement was among the boldest and most advanced in Europe. It signified for many artists an end to the past academic conventions as they began to experiment with the notions of space, following the basic elements of colour, shape and line. They strove for a utopian existence for all benefited by and inspired through the art they created. They worked with, for and alongside the politics of the time. The equality for all that they sought would

In the presented essay I will compare the style of work of selected artists in the montage of the film. I will try to point out some general regularities and features of Soviet cinema. At the same time I will try to capture especially what is common in their systems and similar or conversely what differ. For my analysis, I will draw on the feature films of the Soviet avantgarde, namely these are the movies - The Battleship Potemkin (S. Eisenstein, 1925), Mother (V. Pudovkin, 1926) and The Man with a movie camera (D. Vertov, 1929).
