At first glance I would describe this artwork as a busy piece of art, but taking a closer look I think the painting gives off a happy, positive and united feeling. The artwork overall is very detailed and there are many hidden messages making it something inspirational. I really like inspiring or any art with a deep meaning behind it. It gives off something even more special when there's a hidden important lesson in the artwork, which this painting has. All in all,
My personal thoughts to this piece of art is in all honestly a sense of confusion. Overall I like
Criticism and praise have been collected for this particular painting. For Surrealist people, it is a masterpiece. But to a person who doesn’t have the right knowledge about art, like me, the persistence of memory is a work of a madman due to its vagueness and weird random objects. I just couldn’t understand its purpose – maybe it was made to be not understood at all. An eye-fooling, the exact word I’d like to describe it. Be that as it may, it is one work of art which will never fade away and will always irk arguments and
The reason I this piece of artwork appealed to me was because of the vivid use of colors. The bright pastels of pinks, yellows, blues and purples caught my eye and drew me in. They created a bright, relaxed, elegant and uplifting feeling to the setting. What I thought was interesting was that at first glance you see a woman, but rather than looking joyful, she seems upset or confused. Due to the colors of the setting I imaged the women’s emotion would match the bright and uplifting colors. I thought the artist’s choice of color was unique because I would typically imagine the colors to be gray and black with the emotion of confusion and sadness. It really causes the viewer to have to examine the image as a whole as well as piece by piece.
The ingenuity of the composition is that it used a lot of tricks in the layout of the elements, meanwhile being rendered very simply and concisely. The artist realized that the eye does not settle naturally on the center of a painting and that
All these pieces have different designs in them. His use of color has to be significant so one piece does not overshadow the other pieces. Chuck Close is from Monroe, Washington. He lived there until he went to college at the University of Washington. After college at the University of Washington he went to Yale for a Masters in Fine Arts. He now lives in New York City and Long Island. Close has horrible learning disabilities which made school extremely hard for him. Art was the one thing that he could do. When he was 11 he got sick, he in bed for almost a year and art was always something he did. Both of Chucks parents were artist and growing up he was surrounded by art. His use of color helped the development of the inkjet printer. Close uses oil paints and large canvas. In general his works are very intricate. There are made up of lots of little pieces to make one large painting. One famous painting by Close is of the former president Bill Clinton. It is a portrait of the former president. This work is of the former president. It is made up of lots of different pieces, the background is mostly blue and red shapes in different designs. Movement is a constant piece throughout this piece because all pieces have different colors and different shapes inside of them. The meaning behind this piece and what the artist is trying to tell us is all the small details about Clinton's face. This artwork influences my views on art because it shows all the different colors in one small
This part of the painting has not one shape in common, which makes it unique and makes it stand out from the rest of the piece. All the objects look as if the painter swiftly moved the soft, bristles of the brush on the wall. Some of the shapes are plant-like, which are either green or a whitish blue color. These shapes are more near the face of this image and coming down the side of the face. Some shapes are either thin lines, dots, or larger circular shapes that almost look like a swirl. The swirl figures are all different colors and range from blue, green, pink, orangish red, yellow, and some black. The swirls are randomly throughout, but each of them connect or in some way touch another swirl or figure. Beneath the swirls is a light tan color that is the wall that the piece has been created on. This part of the painting beside the face reminds me of what is happening inside a person’s head. The colorful patterns and shapes reflect just how amazing the brain might be functioning because of everything that is stored in their heads. For example, creativity, knowledge, emotions, and so much more that make each person unique in their own way. This part of the piece has so many different colors and shapes it represents the different things that humans, and the girl in this particular piece, have constant, active
If you were asked “What is a painter?” the first word that will come out of your mouth is “person.” But people aren’t the only living thing able to paint . “Monkey Master” is a perfect representation of how people relate to animals because in this story a monkey named Congo can paint. Congo was a monkey who opened people's eyes on not excluding animals but understanding their capability. He relates to humans because when artists or regular people are in the middle of their artwork and it was suddenly taken away from them the person would probably throw a fit until they got it back. In the article it illustrates that if you took a painting away from Congo before he was done, he would “scream and throw fits.” He would only let someone take his painting if he was

My personal reaction to this art is that they are scary. Also, this is an old painting and it has to do something with religion.
Sometimes words cannot exactly explain what we want to convey, so we need a visual to support it. A similar thing was observed in the article of Alan M. Dershowitz, he cleverly makes use of Ben Shah’s painting in the article to grab the attention of folks. The author writes about a murder case of a paymaster and a guard of the South Braintree by Sacco and Vanzetti, both were Italian immigrant anarchists. Surprisingly, the truth was not revealed that whether Sacco and Vanzetti were the killers and this case is still unsolved. I agree with the author that the trials could not get to the fair results. I believe that the painting is an ironic symbol of the justice. It silently expresses a lot what the text can’t. I think the painting adds words
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.
After reading the article ”Who's Got the Monkey?”, the main concepts of the point are the three kinds of management time, which are; boss imposed time, the system imposed time, and self imposed time. The bigger monkey or the smaller monkey is based on each imposed time. Boss imposed time used to accomplish activities that the boss requires. System imposed time used to accommodate requests from peers for active support. Lastly, self imposed time used to do things that the manager agrees to do. The article is trying to say that if it is not your monkey, then do not ever take it. At the end, after the cycle, guess who's got the monkey? Yes, you do. Nice person syndrome is not working in this case because we need to learn how to say no to each
The painting shows man and nature in harmony. A clear sign that he focused mostly on drawing is the geometric forms used in the painting. He used very calm tonality to give it the calmness. His artwork and brushwork are very fluid and focused. This painting has no historical meaning because this painting was after his transition from historical to landscape. Instead of telling a story it is supposed to evoke a calm mood. The golden light contributes to its peacefulness. Now that I have explained both paintings individually, in the following paragraph I will talk about their differences and what makes them different.
There was one particular work of art that stroked me the most, perhaps for its simplicity: A Sergeant entering through the door, wearing his military uniform and a gun in his hand, it seems like it takes place in the late 60s maybe early 70s. In one of this pockets there is a folded note, could someone had died? Was that the notification of it? I questioned. There are a few rocks propping the door to a residence house, while the Sergeant’s attention is given entirely to his love interest, another man, who is sitting on a chair, covered with a blanket all the way from his hips to his feet; the Sergeant is embracing and kissing the man sitting. When I saw the painting I asked him the meaning of it and he replied: “Kid, it is not a conundrum. You give art your own interpretation. It means whatever you think it
