Hello Aurelia Romare Bearden Analysis

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,

One of the aspects I believe unifies this painting is, as I talked about above, the continuation of the blue of the woman’s clothing continuing up into her hair, which gives the piece a sense of wholeness and relativity. There is also balance in this piece, for while the woman’s head is offset, this is balanced out by the elongation of her shoulder and arm in the right side of the image. Variety is also achieved in this piece through the use of a variation of hues and a lot of tonal difference. Emphasis is placed upon the hair with the use of an unnatural hair colour, as well as the face where light colours are used to highlight and pull the attention. Space is not so much of an active principle in this piece, but is still present nonetheless. Beryl is placed in the middle of the painting, with her taking up roughly 50% of the space, and the rest taken up by background.

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

First thing that I noticed about this gorgeous oil and tempera on panel painting was the precise emotional aspect: romantic and simple, yet so exceptionally lifelike. This work surely shows a development from the powerfully

I selected this painting because the colour contrast of the pink dress against the dark background caught my eye. I also found the expression of the young woman to be interesting.

When I viewed the piece it automatically attracted my eye. The fact that the artist chose to use BB's was something I had not seen done before. Upon further inspection the art had a deeper meaning it talked about the Numbers of deaths

When I first looked at this painting, I thought to myself, "It's boring. It's boring to look at. Why paint a picture of an empty bedroom?" However, once I started looking at all the elements, my mind changed.

I enjoyed learning about them and looking at it. Prior to doing more research on them, I just thought their work wasn't art and just random things put up/built in places. Now that I know more about it, I am able to fully understand it and enjoy it better. I couldn't live with this in my house, it would take up too much space. Theoretically however, I think I would enjoy having this in my house. I t has a nice meaning behind it and it would be nice to see everyday. It is aesthetically successful in my opinion, it just works so well. I would say this art piece is a mix between formalism and Imitationalism. I believe both are what makes an artwork aesthetically successful. The whole thing, from how it was constructed to the meaning behind it, are the reasons why I think this piece is

This painting has made a major effect on my life and has made my artwork go to a more relaxed level. Instead of just painting a landscape Dali painted a toreador of symbols and some was what he saw on an acid trip. That was not why I picked this painting .

Filled with shades of red, the upper part of the painting comes to create a strong opposition with the black area below it, itself encircled by a darker red. This painting consisting of three floating rectangles in various colour combinations, creates a sombre mood conducive to spiritual contemplation. With the use of Rothko's saturated colours the viewers are moved

My analysis of how successful and how did this artwork affect the society and culture as its target

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.

The texture of the canvas works very well with the subject matter portrayed in the painting. The strong ocean current and the cloudy mountain side are complimented by the canvas. It makes the waves seem like they’re moving against the ship. The ship is nicely detailed as well as the people in the painting. The brushstrokes are very clean and precise on the waves in the foreground. The brushstrokes do create a sense of movement in the painting. The surface of the artwork looks rough where the ocean is painted and where the clouds are painted it appears smooth and soft. This artwork is linear rather than painterly.

I remember viewing Portrait of Dr. Heinrich Stadelmann by Otto Dix during an eleventh grade field trip to the Art Gallery of Ontario, and being completely entranced by the painting—unable to look away from it. At the time, I was not fully aware of the world of art and did not have the vocabulary and knowledge to articulate my interest in this particular painting. Now, after returning to the painting three years later, the experience is quite different. Being recently exposed to a fairly wide range of art last semester has allowed me to experience the painting under a more knowledgeable light. During this most recent viewing of the painting I paid more notice to the painter’s decisions regarding the paint application, the textures, the colouration, the lines, the composition, etc. The core of this different experience during this viewing is due to a newfound consciousness of artistic choice.

When I saw the painting for the first time it grabbed my attention. At first I thought it was the beautiful colors that attracted me to the painting, but it was more. In the picture the shadowy men look scared. They looked as though they were trying to run away from something and this lake that forms into this river that is surrounded by tall grass is the way out, or at least a place to hide until the coast is clear. During that time in my life I felt
