Essay on Frank Stellar

The Holocaust was one of the most tragic event in history when about six million Jews lost their lives to the Nazi. It was a very tragic and evil thing that the Nazi’s did. However, a Jewish girl, Anne Frank, said this: “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Through everything Anne and her family went through, she always saw the good in things. After reading the play about her diary, I would have to agree with Anne’s quote. One of the main reasons I am agreeing with Anne is the kind and selfless thing that she did for her family and the people in the Annex on Hanukkah. However, I can see why you might disagree with Anne and myself by Mr. Van Daan and his selfish and unkind actions.

Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.

Everyone has hope in something whether it is possible or seemingly impossible. Anne Frank and Frederick Douglass, among many differences and similarities, both had hope in something others may not have believed to be possible. They never gave up their hope that they so desperately clung to when they were in bondage.

Jackson Pollock was a legendary, novel, abstract expressionist who has created numerous paintings through his drip-style, action painting technique (Goodnough, 2012). Theosophical influence arose from Phillip Guston and Thomas Hart Benton, while in the early stages of the artist’s life. Muralists, such as Jose Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera were also admired and studied by Pollock. He was captivated by the unorthodox techniques of David Alfaro Siqueiros which contributed to the abstract style of Jackson Pollock (Solomon, 1987).

Every painter has a certain style of painting, whether it's intentional to paint abstract or unintentional to paint as a modernist. I analyzed Abigail Kuchar’s artwork. She is an artist at Western Washington University. Currently, she is enrolled as a student and working on her Bachelor of Fine Arts. Recently, she exhibited her work in a Symbiotic Qualia, Western Gallery (group BFA Thesis Exhibition). Her ideas on visuals are very unique as compare to another artist. Her work is heavily influenced by reoccurring natural forms and patterns, representing, the specific shapes that have been successful in a variety of different applications. For example, the formation of bubbles, lichen, barnacles, anemones, spores, pollen, and seed pods, all have similar compositions. By creating work that includes these forms, the viewer is presented with something unusual, but vaguely familiar. Her material used in the artwork is environment-friendly.

It was one of the many saddest events that occurred in the history of the world. In the following paragraphs you will be reading a summary or a “movie review”, what ever might call it, about Anne Frank. At the end of the review I will write about my opinion to the movie.

The primary focus of this section is to explain the “act of painting.” Flack begins her book with notes on the creative process and what it means to be an artist. Everything from the perception of color to confronting a blank canvas is addressed in this section. Audrey Flack briefly touches on the spiritual

Consequently, this notion of an imposing vision creates the truly compelling, haunting artworks of Post-Impressionism; particularly in the works of the artist, who needs no introduction, Vincent van Gogh. Vincent van Gogh during his humble artistic beginnings in Paris, France was heavily influenced by

The ability to analyze and depict the elements that are portrayed in an image is a skill that is practical to own. In your educational career, throughout most subjects you are given hundreds of images to look at. Some are simple and straightforward, and others have a much more deeper meaning to what is really going on. Having the skill to analyze an image and depict all the elements gives you a clearer and broader sense of what is going on. For example the image I have chosen to analyze is of a young jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank who wrote a diary about hiding with her family in Amsterdam during World War II.

Artist John Marin, known for the creation of some of the earliest abstract paintings, published many works based loosely around architecture and landscape settings. In “Region of Brooklyn Bridge Fantasy,” Marin’s use of sharp, straight lines, cool colors and hues, and portrayal of depth and proportion contributes to a feeling of energy and speed, in relation to the bridge and city. By the implementation of these elements, as well as a multitude of others, Marin captures a sense of motion and frenzy, as these elements are straightforwardly present and identified by the eye of the viewer.

Franks basketball game at the community college at the end of the story was a victory for Frank. Frank had been wanting to relive a dream of his and represent his dead mother and father. “Is this one of those Make-A-Wish things? Are we your dying request?”(Alexie 239) and “No, I’m not dying. It’s for my father and mother. They’re dead, and I’m trying to remember them.”(Alexie 239) Frank demonstrates that even though he gave up his dream of playing basketball for them, he feels he has to make it right by proving to them what he was capable of doing for one last time. The game was a victory because Frank was doing what he loved, “Hey, I know I’m a fat old man, but that just means your feelings are going to be really hurt when a fat old man kicks

The Holocaust was a brutal time for the Jews living throughout the European continent. During this time, many Jews were hauled off to work camps. As a result, many Jewish families went into hiding; residing in the homes and offices of those Europeans who opposed Hitler’s ideas to kill the Jews.

Otto rescued the Annex members by being brave, caring, and responsible.

Frank Stella is an American painter/printmaker born on May 12, 1936 in Malden, Massachusetts. His parents were first-generation Italian-American parents. Stella’s schooling took place at Phillips Academy in Andover from 1950-1954. While there, he studied painting with the abstractionist Patrick Morgan. Later, Stella attended Princeton University where he earned a degree in history; Princeton did not offer a degree in studio art. During his time there, he did take art courses but most of his learning was from self-teaching. His professors, painter Stephen Greene and art historian William Seitz, introduced Stella to the New York art world. These professors helped to shape Stella’s earliest artistic aesthetic.

Frank Stella is an Abstract Expressionist and Minimalist artist who is known for several elements of his painting style such as his shaped canvases and his famous saying “what you see is what you see.” In the mid-1960’s, Stella created a series of paintings, the “Protractor Series,” which are prominent for their semi-circle shaped canvases that resemble a protractor. Despite Stella’s popular motto, “what you see is what you see,” Stella did, in fact, have an inspiration for his famous masterpiece.
