How Did Henri Matisse Create A Motif

Paintings communicate so many things to the viewer but it all depends on how the viewer perceives the painting. This affects how paintings are perceived, which is why the way I see the "Purple Robe" by Henri Matisse could be different compared to someone else's view. The focal point of this painting is the purple robe because it makes the woman wearing the robe the main focus. The black outline surrounding the robe brings out certain features of the woman. Matisse included rhythm and pattern to the painting. He added patterns into the painting, some of the patterns were similar designs with different colors or positions. There were also other patterns that varied from all different types of designs which created the variation between the patterns. The variation of the different patterns, and the unity of the designs in the patterns are a part of the rhythm.

Everyone wants to understand art.... In the case of a painting people have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works out of necessity, that he himself is only a trifling bit of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things, things which please us in the world, though we can't explain them (Barnes).

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,

Griffith is a prime example of how the same piece of art has a different meaning to everyone who views

The painting depicts real people doing everyday things, like studying. Classical Antiquity was greatly displayed through another painting it depicts a normal person holding a balance. In the Middle Ages this would have been frowned upon because they discouraged the making of realistic paintings (Follett software). Realistic paintings would not have been introduced to the Renaissance without the humanists studying classical antiquity.

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.

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.

Controversial pieces of art are nothing new; artists express their opinions and beliefs in their work, and those who see the artist’s views as problematic speak out against it. Art encourages debate, and debates can be angry and emotion-driven. But when a piece of art is created that is almost universality looked upon as having corrupt morals, the debate tends to switch “I disagree with what this art portrays” to, “this work of art should not be allowed in society, regardless of its quality.”

On September 4, 2016, I visited the Matisse in His Time exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. This exhibit is home to a plethora of pieces by many different European artists from the 19th and 20th centuries. While it is focused on Matisse and his extensive works, containing more than 50 of his pieces, there are many portraits and sculptures by other influential artists from that time period including Renoir, Picasso, and Georges Braque. Three of the most appealing works that I encountered in this exhibit are Maurice de Vlaminck’s Portrait of Père Bouju, Pablo Picasso’s Reclining Woman on a Blue Divan, and Henri Matisse’s sculpture series Henriette I, Henriette II, and Henriette III.

We have seen many artworks and some of them are controversial in some way. In, that artworks some of people against to that artworks and also some of people stand with that artworks also. There are many artworks in our book which are controversial and I have choose Richard Serra's tilted Arc. This art displays in Foley Federal Plaza in Manhattan from 1981 to 1989.

It is also controversial because in this painting José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros selects Disney characters, the ones that are recognized especially by children. Disney creates characters with the purpose of attracting children’s attention by showing them fantasies. Agreeing or not with this controversy depends on the view in which people look at it. If I look this painting on the positive side, I can understand that the artist aims to deliver a message to the society. This piece of art conveys the message that society should evolve, accept the future changes that will be created, and to see the positive side of these changes. If I see this painting from the Catholic point of view, this art is disrespectful since in this religion the same-sex marriage is not allowed. For parents, it can be difficult to teach this piece of art to their children, but I think that everything depends on the way in they teach their children. Parents can explain to their children that people live in a world free of expression and that everyone has their own ideals. As a parents’ duty, they also must explain to their children that although for them is or not correct the same-sex marriage, yet these people deserve their

It is believed Manet's technique further inflamed the controversy surrounding Olympia. Rejecting his traditional art training, Manet chose instead to paint with bold brush strokes, implied shapes, and vigorous, simplified forms. "The paint sat there on the surface of the canvas...It wasn't just the fact that she's a nude and she's a lower class nude, but also the fact that she was painted in...what many people read as almost childish or unskilled fashion," explains art historian Anne McCauley in the film. "Olympia shocked in every possible way. That is to say formally, morally, in terms of its subject matter. It had the whole range of outrage," adds art historian Linda Nochlin.

In time, Edgar Degas painting became popular and unique. Edgar Degas painting featured unorthodox visual angles and asymmetrical perspectives. The painting Two Dancer on a stage includes two dancers in standard ballet positions standing on a stage.

Degas had a clear fascination with human forms, in the 1870s he revealed his passion for contemporary subject matter, becoming a specialist on the dramatic world of ballet and theater. In "The Dance Class" he shows us two dancers waiting to be assessed by ballet master Jules Perrot. His lively brushwork and light, bright colors were typical of the Impressionist movement. Their use of color was partly influenced by Japanese print, in what was called in France Japonism

I personally get a sense of perfection in a human world when I look at this painting, which is a bit misleading but appropriate for a time in which men were beginning to question the divine and finding answers in the natural world where science and mathematical solutions were starting to make sense of everything around us.
