How Did Joseph Leyendecker Differ

After his father died in 1903, his mother allowed him to drop out of his school and 2 years later, he went to Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria in order to become an artist. He failed in entrance exam and decided to remain in Vienna as a casual laborer and watercolor painter. A year later, he tried to take entrance exam and he failed again. While he run out of money, he moved into a homeless shelter and remained for several years. During his time in Vienna, he learned to hate non Germans. He was a German-speaking Austrian and considered himself as a German.

I. Sub-subpoint 1 He enrolled in school in 1875 at Austrian polytechnic where he studied electrical engineering and later went to study at Charles Ferdinand University. According to biography.com, he never acquired a degree at Ferdinand University (biography.com).

Attended Harvard and he graduated 21st of 177. He studied in the fields of sciences, German, rhetoric, philosophy, and ancient languages. (1876-1880)

CLS- He achieved a mystical attribute into all of his images with the inspiration from various paintings that shared the same aspect and editing them to have a natural effect.

The medium used for this work of art is oil. In this technique the oil acts as a binder and causes a quick drying layer that can built upon. The formal elements of a painting include line, color, space, light, texture and pattern. The line appears to be an implied line in which the work creates directional movements from top to bottom. But also forces the viewer to see how the figures stand out and there importance in the painting. The color shows a subtle spectrum with a detailed background from the skies to the mountains to the artist table canvas. The light is somewhat even throughout the painting showing emphasis on every figure holding something in their hands; and more so the final product of the artist that are being captured on the canvas. The visual texture of the painting appears to be smooth and the pattern is decorative and somewhat vibrant. The principle of unity and variety are evident in this painting, the design itself shows a sense of community of important figures throughout African American history. I was drawn to this piece because it embodied the heritage of African American art through history. This painting by Hale Woodruff displays many of the significant contributions that African Americans made to the world of Art. Not necessarily “picture art” but all realms of life art: cooking, liberal arts, politics, labor, law and many more through his vibrant

As well as in both seamless brush strokes and pixilated, quasi-Pointillist grids. Up close his paintings are more abstract, but as you back away from the painting it becomes a big, almost up to 9 feet tall, realistic portrait. In his colorful portraits he would mix up to 6 colors in a square so when you step away, you can see all the value and shading in the painting. His artwork is in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).

The painting has contrasting colors like red, white, yellow and green. While it also has some dark colors to create a sense of power. These vivid colors create a complementary contrast. The dark red background with the gold designs makes the black man wearing the different shades of green stand out. Also, the white horse has various colors of brown and black which makes it stand out from the red. The main idea is to see the black man on the horse and you can tell Wiley thought the color scheme through. The contour lines Wiley used were organized, thin, and nicely controlled when it came to drawing the horse’s hair and body figure. Also, gold lines were detailed in the background creating a type of pattern to create an illusion. Closely, if you look into the background Wiley drew little sperms to complete the background. Lastly, the actual texture of the painting has a smooth finish. The oil on canvas painting almost makes it seem like if you touch it the horse would be silky

Raphael was known to use oil paints with pigments on wood, panel, canvas or wood for his paintings. The materials used for The Alba Madonna painting were oil paint on panel which was then transferred to canvas. Raphael used more paint on his works than other artist of his time. According to some, this serves as an example of his extreme talent due to the fact that oil paint in that era was a difficult material to use and was unforgiving.

Every artist has his or her own style of painting. Each painting tells some sort of story or has some type of personal meaning to the artist. One of the most important figures in modern art is Pablo Picasso. Not only was Pablo Picasso a genius in the field of abstract art, but he also experimented with sculpting and ceramics. Pablo Picasso has taken the world to many places with his unique style of work which is why I believe he is considered to be a genius of the 20th century.

He was born into a Catholic family with German origins in a small town in Austria-Hungary ( later Zwittau, Czechoslovakia) on April 28th, 1908 and he grew up in Zwittau, Moravia. He had a younger sister named Elfriede and he is Son of an uneducated alcoholic who sold electric motors for a father and an elegant and pleasant woman as a mother. He died on October 9th, 1974 in Frankfurt, Germany due to heart and liver problems. He had

Stylistically, his painting is an example of the “smooth” manner, characterized by fine technique in the portrayal of illusionistic form. In this painting, Calabrese uses strong directional lighting from the top, left corner of the painting to highlight the scene. It is Caravagesque in the way

We can also see the use of black shades to create a hole at the bottom part of the rock. With his excellent use of colors, we can identify the good, healthy and green grass from the bad, unhealthy, brown grasses. Looking beyond the main focus of the painting, he uses colors to separate the sky from the land in the background creating a solid form of perspective on the painting. He also uses colors to create water forms as seen behind the young character. Now, for the sky, he uses shades of white to magnificently differentiate the thick clouds from the light ones. He also uses this to create a source to light to the whole area. All these put together creates a splendid, realistic and familiar atmosphere for the viewers to relate with.

The painting is oil on a canvas about 5 feet tall and 7 feet wide. It was painted on canvas because during the 17th century, wooden panels were expensive, hard to transport, and more likely to warp. With canvas, it simply became an act of obtaining a frame and stretching fabric evenly across, making it weigh less and unlikely to warp from humidity. Similarly, oil was used because of its flexible nature. The paints could be made of and used with numerous media with small additions causing great changes to color, viscosity, and texture. Since they dry slower than other paints, it is easier to change the color or texture to suit the needs of the artist and makes it easier to hide brushstrokes. When looking at the painting in person, since oil was used as the medium, the texture was smooth, but also had a rough texture from the fabric of the canvas. Honthorst must have added more paint for every layer to prevent cracks from forming, a technique created before his

His early paintings had an unconventional, unique, and unfinished look about them. The images were known to everyone in everyday life.

Goya’s technique was as radical as his vision. At one point he used sponges to executed frescos, while his satiric paintings were done with broad, furious brushstrokes as aggressive as the events portrayed. He used sweeping, fluid brush strokes to freeze the giant in motion. The painter chose an almost monochromatic palette of mostly browns, grays, and blacks to convey the tragedy.
