Eugene Delacroix Basket Of Flowers

Impressionism is an artistic style of painting that originated in France in the 1870s. This style of painting attempts to capture an experience or emotion opposed depicting a scene accurately. Every impressionistic painter has a distinct method of rendering as well as their own distinct set of qualities that reflect the artist themselves. For instance, The Basket Chair by Berthe Morisot and The Orange Trees by Gustave Caillebotte are two impressionist works of art of oils on canvas that contrast in many ways. These two paintings will be compared side by side with an in depth approach comparing the artist’s personal status in society, modernism’s role in the piece, and the execution of composition.

Dali employs a “concrete irrationality” surrealist style giving us the illusion of realism. Design is precise, using symmetrical perspective employing a geometrical figure’s composition. The painting is well balanced. Presence of the light coming from the northeast gives a sense of a natural landscape. The light and shadow relationship “pops the elements out” and creates contrast. The pain of war is expressed by the grotesque mutating human body ripping itself apart with the anguishing facial expression.

The focal point of the painting is the woman with infant. This is shown by the lighting in the painting being directly on her, the bright red that she is wearing, and the circling of the putti around her figure along with the majority of their gazes being directed at her. The bright light directly behind her and the infant could possibly be coming from the sun behind the clouds in the sky, the putti to her upper right holding the torch, or it could be symbolic in that it is the infant’s halo and representative of his divine nature. The overall piece is not overly dark but the lighting seems to be most focused on the woman, infant, her other children, and the flying putti. This is an example of tenebrism.

The painting that I chose to write my formal analysis on is called “The Café Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, At Night”. This piece was created by Vincent Van Gogh in Arles, France and was completed sometime in September of 1888. This painting is oil on canvas, and it is currently housed in the Kroller-Muller Museum located in Otterlo, The Netherlands in Europe.

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

Art by its nature is a subject of the philosophical, social, economic, political or religious context surrounding its creator. More often than not, a work of art addresses a specific topic or somewhat revolves around a particular person. Therefore, it is impossible to separate the context of a piece of painting, either historical or cultural, to its intrinsic value or the artwork's meaning. On the other hand, different cultures and time utilized specific conventions that govern the representation of objects of creativity. This essay highlights various pieces of art and their relationship to particular cultural, political, economic, or social settings. Moreover, it pinpoints how different times influence art presentation.

1.Flowering Chrysanthemum This was an art piece done by Leon Bonvin in 1863. He captures this scenery of the plant making it the focal point of the picture. You can see workers and other plants or buildings in the background, but the chrysanthemum plant really captures the viewers' eye with the bolder colors. 2.Top of flowering stem of Royen's Tree Cactus Created in 1916, this bright, bold, water color piece was done by a lady named Mary Emily Eaton.

On each side of the circle about a centimeter away there is a spot shaded in with black paint. In the next part of the painting, there is a line, again. There is a longer rectangle, with two half moons on each side of the rectangle, next to is a little space, then two vertical black lines, then there is three horizontal thick red squiggly lines, again two vertical black line. In the middle of the rectangle, the top middle part has 5 horizontal black lines, with a zigzag line on the top of the 5 lines, on the both of the middle part, it looks like a shape of a wave, that is painted red, a bigger wave on top with no color. in the middle, it starts to make a tube like shape, that splits into two tie looking shapes shaded black with a thin line that is not shaded with any color and a mini square on the left shape and a bigger square on the right shape about a centimeter away from the lines. On the side of the tube shape there is a long leaf, looking shape, shaded black with a small space in the middle of it unshaded. I chose this piece because i like the painting that was on the bowl, it

Directly above his head, yet still connected to his head is a semi-circle of an image of a woman holding a baby. It appears that the image is a memory, perhaps of his mother holding himself or his wife holding their child. The man is surely a representation of the artist and this is “his life”. He seems to be the focus of the painting and the overall theme appears to be memories layered throughout. Right above the original semi-circle is another semi-circle of four small, colorful squares. Each square is red, yellow, and blue in color reminding me of the artists’ Hispanic origins. Moving inward from the darker, gray and white outer portion of the painting seems to be a bookcase with three separate images. Each image is of a man painting on a canvas. These three separate images of a man painting throughout the artwork could be the artists’ memories of his father, or a significant man in his life. The grays, blacks, and white used show the artists’ darker memories, while the vibrant, beautiful colors symbolize the joyous ones. Similarly, the softer, warmer colors that the artist uses represent his love, appreciation, and admiration towards his father. Overall, the painting is a memory timeline that

The piece I choose to critic is titled “Buscado por su madre” or “Wanted by his Mother” by Rafael Cauduro, no year. This piece is an Oil on Canvas painting that measured 48”x36” located at the Long Beaches MoLAA. The work is presented as one of a few Mexican artists that share an interest in their painting primarily figurative style, political in nature, that often narrated the history of Mexico or the indigenous culture. The painting is one of the first viewers see as they enter the Museum. It is at eye level and demonstrates a superb use of illusionistic realism that it creates the illusion of being real. The painting is of a old Missing poster of a man on a brick wall. What made it stand out in my eyes was the fact that it looked to be a three dimensional object on what looked like real bricks with the words wanted by mother on the top. Cauduro’s piece, in my eyes looked like he literally took a chunk out of a wall, and placed an old torn missing poster of a man on the front and put it out for display. Cauduro uses texture to represent the look of brick by applying thick strokes of paint creating a body of its own as and mimics the look and shape of brick. He also makes applies the same technique on the wanted poster by implying that it is old and torn by again layering his paint to create the

When I first saw this painting I saw bulls and explosions. But the more I looked at the painting the more I was able to try to understand it. The next thing I saw in the painting were bulls in a pin, all trying to escape the chaos happening in the pin. And finally, when I got home I looked up what the painting name means and realized that what I was really looking at were donkeys in a soup bowl.

The exquisite colorful painting of Rachel Ruysch’s Flower Still Life painting represents the Dutch tradition of flower painting in Amsterdam during the 17th century. Ruyshch’s still life paintings are examples of the significant advances made in botany during the 17th century. Rachael Ruysch is a Dutch painter from (1664-1750) from Amsterdam. Her flower pieces were highly prized and during her 70-year career, she became one of the most highest-paid still-life painters in Europe. The Flower Still Life painting was created after the 1700s. Ruysch created this masterpiece with oil on canvas with the height of 30 X 24” (76.2 X 61 cm).

This painting is intriguing as there is no historical recollection of who commissioned, where it was made, or even its present location. Something we do know is that it was made using china oil paints and in canvas. This painting properly represent Anguissola’s change in style as the details in the dresses and the jewelry is extensive, this is not present in her other works, which were mostly influenced by Correggio style and traditions of the cremonese paintings. Her new creations, including the Portrait of Diane d'Andouins and her daughter, where created after she mixed her new knowledge, which involved using the brush to paint complex designs of fine fabrics and elegant jewelry, with her Correggio mannerism, which is known for “its dynamic compositions, illusory perspectives, and vivid rich coloring”, to create extremely realistic

From the time periods of late1904 to early 1906, Pablo Picasso, one of the most renowned oil painters in history, explored the theme of Saltimbanques upon his canvas medium during his famous Rose Period. Previously, Picasso suffered from depression, which resulted in the era known as the Blue Period, but in 1904, Picasso met Fernande Olivier, who some speculate was the transition from his Blue Period to Rose Period. During the Rose Period, Picasso’s used of warm color oil paints, primarily pink, highlighted the artistic style of Saltimbanques as he depicted circus performers, harlequins, and acrobats that he observed when living in France. For much of his artwork, “Picasso’s eye would also require the stimulus of a visual experience,” and for him, the idea of being visually stimulated by circuses, caught his attention. In order to gather inspiration, Picasso would frequently visit the Cirque Médrano in Montmartre so that both his mind and eyes could be visually stimulated. As his infatuation with Saltimbanques increased, he dedicated a series to them and in 1905, he created his most famous painting of the Rose Period “Family of Saltimbanques.” This painting, standing at 7x8 ft, was considered to be the biggest painting ever produced by Picasso. Using these influences, Picasso was able to create his most impressive works of the Rose Period, “Family of Saltimbanques.”
