Interpretations of Victory by Petr Aleksandrovich Krivonogov

The background are grey and other dark colours representing the mood of the that time since it was fairly grim and not a happy time during the depression and right before an impending war. The painting tells the perspective of an isolationist who do not see the consequences of ignoring the overseas war. The character in the painting can be seen as a wife and husband, and a soldier against an enemy soldier, to put deeper meaning it would be the wife representing isolationists, the husband representing Canada (Canadian politicians) and the two soldiers with one being the Canadian army and the other the enemy. The story in the painting is that the wife/isolationist tries to keep her husband/Canada to stay on the other side, the safer side, whereas the monsters fear, duty, and guilt continues to pester and haunt the husband pulling him to choose to go to battle. He fears the advances of the axis powers, is guilty of the sacrifices that have been made so far just so they don’t have to fight and feel responsible as a Canadian, as a nation to protect the peace of the world.

By the bright colors of this piece like orange red and white colors makes you feel gleeful and happy. I believe that the artist felt happy during the creation of this art piece. I think the artist wanted to show that after hard times of war, something joyous can happen, like returning home. I think this because artist created bare trees, he showed poorness, and life during the war this all represents hard times. These people experienced all of this but as soon as they see their soldier coming alive from the war, they forget about their hard

Paintings are different than books or movies because they allow you to create your own thoughts and interpretations rather than telling you what you should think. This allows creative and different takes on an original piece of art.The Surrender, a painting by Joseph Griffith, was published in October of 2006. It features two sides in what appears to be a war. The left side is occupied by the epitome of American icons and showcases the American flag, while the left side contains, not only enemies of America, but “bad guys” from classic movies surrendering with a white flag. This painting can be interpreted as labeling popular American icons as heroes, showing the change in society’s change in what they consider a role model.

“Remember the Alamo!” This instantly iconic decree of hope and patriotism was yelled by Texan soldiers as they fought in the Battle of San Jacinto, the deciding battle in the Texas war for independence. The battle only lasted eighteen short minutes, and it was a Texan victory, causing them to gain independence from Mexico. Those two events, the Battle of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto, inspired many people in many different ways, including Henry Arthur McArdle. McArdle was a painter who would go on to paint two very famous paintings, The Battle of San Jacinto and Dawn at the Alamo. While both of these paintings depict very similar scenes and have the same techniques and composition, there are differences in both that make each painting unique.

An artist's job is to interpret, and express the aspects of life in a creative fashion. War has played a big part in shaping our human history, and many artists have portrayed their feelings about art through paintings, and even monuments. Whether it be to show; the joy of victory, the sorrow of defeat, or to educate the public on the gory realities of war. Art about war can also show us a great amount of history of the kinds of weapons that were used at the time. It is necessary for artists to interpret, and criticize all aspects of life; even ones as tragic as war, It can make the public more aware of what goes on in times of war.

A painting named The Taking Of The Vimy Ridge, Easter Monday, 1917, created by Richard Jack, in 1919 was published at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. This painting exists, since it promotes the significant heroic actions with the complete accuracy of details. The canvas is entirely in sympathy with what the audience, might have witnessed if they had

CLS- The painting depicts the people in Guernica in an abstracted composition of multiple figures describing the lose of the wounded and the chaos the war that result in a tragedy.

The Battle of Stalingrad is considered the turning point of the Second World War as the German forces failed to overcome the defense of the Russian army leading to their humiliating defeat at the hands of the Russians. It is commonly believed that this loss was due to Hitler’s lack of trust in his own generals and his selfish desire to conquer an essentially useless piece of land. American writer Edwin Palmer Hoyt believes that if Hitler had granted his generals more flexibility, then Von Paulus could have saved some of his divisions from complete annihilation. Another perspective of the outcome is that it stemmed from Stalin’s decision to allow for how own generals and commanders to take control over the battle while he put his focus on other things which would lead to the Soviet domination over the German army in a seemingly hopeless situation.

This painting tells a sad story about a general who is willing to die for his citizens. This story also tells a hopeful story about unity between two completely different civilizations.

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

Battle of Stalingrad (Rough Draft) The battle of Stalingrad was a bloody war with over two million casualties. For Russia, it was the turning point in the war. Germany attacked Stalingrad, Russia during the winter of 1942.

A war won by pure heart and soul. Americans are underdogs in this war but in the end they come out on top. That’s the good news, but the bad is how the war was started. Paul Revere’s painting is extremely influential in starting the war. I feel it shows who the cowards are in this war, how and whose blood was shed in the massacre, and what effect this had on America.

Goya made a series of etchings and paintings depicting the atrocities of both sides involved with the war. The most famous of these paintings are the two depicting the scenes from the second and third of May. The work focuses on the victims of the situation, which in this case are the Spanish citizens being executed. The work is not meant to be beautiful, but is instead supposed to be horrible in order to shock the viewer. Goya's purpose within the painting is less to blame the French, but instead to point out to people the "faceless and mechanical forces of war itself, blindly killing a representative of humanity"(Stokstad). He used the incident as an example of how horrible war is and what can happen when violence is instituted.

This painting is divided into three equal parts by the arches in the background and the characters correspond to each of these arches (TV12). The father is in the middle portion of the painting. The lines of perspective created by the tiled floor, draws our attention to the swords that the father is holding and the vanishing point lies just behind the handles of the sword. Our angle of vision is such that we are looking directly at the main figures groups, particularly the father. A single light source from the left of the picture illuminates the characters and also focuses our attention to the father holding the sword. This creates a ‘theatrical’ effect. The background is simple and stark so our attention is focussed on the figure groups in the painting. The painting has a wide tonal range that makes the composition logical and balanced. The colours used in this

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
