Hippolyte Bayard

This man in the painting expresses a natural form of well-being. The slanting nature of his back shows a man not so different from each and every man. His facial expressions give the idea of not perfect joy, nor contempt,but

In the artwork, the picture illustrates a man raising his arms up sacrificing his life for what he knew was right for him and society. Neighbors were looking around and saw what he was doing to himself. The picture also shows that once he reached his goal everything

The focus in the painting is pointed to the man. His proportions are somewhat inflated and his neck and shoulders are

This painting draws from classical and modern ideas. It portrays both classical portraiture and the classic female nude. The strange part, however, is that in this portrait the head is a womans torso. On an elongated neck, topped with a full head of hair, there is a face that contains nipples for eyes, a bellybutton for a nose, and a woman's groin where the mouth and chin would be located. The shape of the neck and head also suggest a phallic representation of some kind. Behind this woman lies a desolate landscape and blue sky to complete a complementary color

This portrait is of a lady named Mrs. George Swinton. She appears to be standing next to a chair with one hand on it. The artist Elizabeth Ebsworth has done an amazing job at capturing the light. Also the shading shows very much so she appears to have no other light than a window.She is standing on a carpet. She is wearing an old timey dress.That is because this was painted in the 1800’s. She looks ready for a

Many artists self-portraits are either neutral or positive—displaying the artist as they see themselves,in both paintings and photographs. In this self portrait, however, the artist appears in a crazed-like state and feverish, deviating from the norm. So the aptly named “The Desperate Man” painted by Gustave Courbet, is a very distinctive portrait, as the artist demonstrates a very specific emotion through values,expression,and

Analyze: Due to the colors and the value added to the painting, the emphasis of the painting is the woman. The strong black background contrasts her colorful clothing and fair skin creating a great emphasis on her presence within the painting. Additionally, the value and texture that is added to her face and clothing creates a realistic illusion. Her clothes contain folds and wrinkles, while her face contains shading that allow the viewer to see its rounded shape, as the light seems to strike from the upper left corner of the image.

There are many elements of Frida’s “The broken Column” self portrait, that Gaultier has imitated and incorporated into his own fashion statement. Gaultier has looked at Frida’s use elements such as line, texture, colour and shape. In Frida’s self portrait, Frida has been able to use lines thought her painting to create an uncomfortable, ridged feel to it. Frida has purposely made lines orbiting up and down her body, to emphasise the pain and discomfort she is in. In

His two portraits are also surrounded by various other representational objects that, just like the previous two still-life paintings, contemplates death and time passing. There are sculptures and busts, all with an expression of either pain or melancholy. Under the painting of a ship at sea is a painting of a woman which the viewer can tell is on the ground in distress. It seems like an appropriate juxtaposition considering that the sea is in chaos, the ship rides on crashing waves, which seems to match the woman’s despair. Instead of a skull like in Bailly’s, there is instead a long bone, found resting on the table providing his black-and-white portrait rests. This juxtaposition is also rendered appropriate considering that at this point the artist is inarguably contemplating death and time passing. His palette is also seen in this picture, but it is not clean and hung up like Bailly’s or in his hand like Peeters’s, rather it is in use but laid on the table. As viewers, we are conscious of its presence, perhaps worrying about the paint drying and wondering how it is that he is painting the still-life is he is seen reflected in the glass ball in front of a canvas. Much like Bailly’s still-life, he has two portraits that are taking place in different moments in time: the one on the table seems to be of him already completed, thus suggesting it is a portrait of him as a younger man, while the other portrait, which is his reflection on a glass ball hovering over the still life, is of him during the painting of the still-life as an older

not simply a portrait of the artist himself but represents the process of painting a self-portrait,”

This extraordinary power of the photograph has a meticulous significance in its presentation of the image of the deceased and those whose death is impending. In the photograph pg Lewis Paine take prior to his execution for an attempted murder Barthes states;

The first thing you notice in about the painting is a young woman standing in a 3/4 fourth position on the entrance of what looks like an apartment building while she looks to the horizon. A peculiar thing about the lady is the fact that the dress’ skirt is transparent and which was not a common trend among woman in the 1940’s. The setting of the picture is during day time, probably late in the afternoon because of the yellowish tones reflected on the windows. The overall felling when seeing the picture is a sense of serenity and peace, because it looks like not much is going on the street, it gives a sense of quietness.

My self-portrait is titled “You can 't hold me back”. It is a mixed media artwork. In this work, I am standing in a burst of green, going against the blues, pinks and purples around me. The left half of my face is a skeleton, while the right half is normal. My lungs are plain white, directly to the right, with words that represent what makes me happy, and a butterfly wing that represents freedom, and golden hands gently cupping them. Next to my lungs is my heart. It 's very bloodied, and all my arteries and veins have been tied up, while the right side has a nail in it. Beneath my heart, silver heads reach towards it. On the far right, my liver is being grasped, and
