Leroy Neiman's Art Analysis

Although “The Negro Movement” has been over since, but the effects are still known today. African American artist engaged culture to work for goals of civil rights and equality. While it has been made clear that African Americans Literature has a stand which Harlem Renaissance, May still feel that the Harlem Renaissance did not redefine African Americans expression. Nathan Irvin Huggins, an American historian, also an

The first work of art, illustrated by Kehinde Wiley, appears to give a realistic feel to the audience. As the painting of the man, the horse, and the sword appears as neither abstract, nor nonobjective. I can see that the painting is oil on canvas. In the background of his painting, it is dark red at the top, and pink towards the middle of the background, with a shade of white just above the neutral scheme of different brown shades representing the muddy ground. The white in the background probably represents the horizon. If you zoom in very, very closely, you can see what looks like a military cannon towards the right side of the painting, emphasizing the environment of a battle soldier. The horse is painted neutrally as well, white,

    I chose George Rodrigue for my art showcase project, because his artwork was one of a kind. He was born on March 13th, the year of 1944. George was born in New Iberia in Louisiana. He spent most of his childhood life living there. George passed away in 2013, December 14th, unfortunately from lung cancer.

The two that I have chosen for this specific topic would be John Adams, and Howard Baker because they had both seemed to catch my eye. I would say that both of the artworks are about medium, however, John Adam's painting seems a little bit smaller as the height comes out to be 29.3 inches, and Howards comes out to be a total of 49.5 inches. I would say the most dominant of art in Howard Bakers artwork would be texture, and also shape and form. The color of his suit really makes the entire picture stand out very well and neat, compared to the background it has a almost "glowing" effect to it. John adams most dominant artowkr would be the form and shape of how it was portrait. The black coloring looks constantly repeating because almost half

1. It was hard to get the feet to look realistic. The detailing part was hard to. Like you had to get all the contrast, structure, movement, and realism. It was hard especilly because in my painting my feet were small. Another hard part was getting the right shade. Like ppaint the feet a color and then make it a little darker for the areas that neede shading and dimension to give a realistic/ contrast to distinguish the difference. It was hard to get a shade that wasnt dramatically drker that the feets color.

Matthew Ritchie and Susan Rothenberg are both flourishing artist’s that have set forth numerous collections of artwork. Each piece that they have created are based off of different experiences they had throughout their life. Although most of their artistically creative career continues to grow, many pieces that have been established individually by the two were developed using many different techniques, structures, and thoughts.

It is incredibly important to the future success of art that art’s “White men’s club” be a thing of the past. Encouraging the talent of the future is imperative. It is also crucial though

As I look at his work I become inspired not only because of who he is and what he has meant to the progression and authentication of African American artist within the fine art world or his color palette, but rather his content. He paints these extremely lively scenes that

The aforementioned are perhaps his most compelling arguments consist of the fact that, yes, race with its often concurrent circumstances, can and do limit options not only for the artist but art appreciation. Secondly, I think he is right when he relates the ultimate futility of materialism; however, I doubt that African-Americans, by virtue of the past, are any less susceptible to these phenomena than their white counterparts. Indeed, even when the United States elected an African-American President, while a turning point in American history, it didn’t automatically herald a Golden Age of enlightenment. If anything it was an anticlimax; it merely revealed that revealed people are not their skin colors; and that we still have the same issue no matter what race or gender resides in the oval office. Want to change the world? Every marketing company seems to know how, if they say that everyone who is “with it” has forsaken dial-up for high-speed internet, then sooner or later people will buy into that ethos and spend accordingly. Ditto: a product or service that vendors claim will improve how we or others perceive ourselves as individuals. As recent

Pollack’s pieces of art has caused many debates on the motion and placement of the lines. Jackson Pollack is one of my favorite artist so when I saw this painting I looked at it in a completely different view then I have in the past. Pollack uses only lines in this piece, mostly curved and length varies. The colors used in this painting are neutral, this also has darker values. When looking at this piece it makes me wonder the colors are easy to stare at and complement each other well. All the lines are overlapping, showing negative space. This also makes me feel that the texture would be lifted and rough due to the overlapping of multiple lines.

Located on 99 Gansevoort Street, the Whitney Museum of American Art is currently host to an art exhibit by Laura Owens. According to curators, her artwork portrays an “exploration of painting, architecture and perception”, which can be seen in her installation at the museum. In the late 1990s, Owens emerged from the Los Angeles art scene after receiving her masters from California Institute of the Arts. The experimental, abstract and innovative attitude she has towards art is displayed in her 60-painting-feature at the Whitney Museum. These artworks are representative of her career journey as some of them were created in the mid-1990s, when she was a novice artist, while others were finalized a few days before the exhibition. Alongside Owens’ installation are both permanent and temporary collections such as Grant Wood’s “American Gothic and Other Fables”, Zoe Leonard’s “Survey”, and Ilse Bing’s “Dead End II”.

During an era where the American art scene carried out a delimiting appraisal of African American artist in the mainstream media, Jean-Michel Basquiat comes into sight. The late 1870s New York City street art scene becomes the venue for Basquiat’s appearance as “SAMO”. His work is synonymous with the market booms of the 1980s, and during this time he grew into one of the most influential artist of the occurring international movement that was ultimately ruled by figurative painting. The "untrained" quality of his painterly work reflects the intense, conceptual nature of his paintings, although, to some, the roughness of Basquiat’s high-art style might not seem sophisticated. In contrast, Basquiat’s work offers a look into his concern for portraying a spiritual experience while at the same time achieving a balance with a poetic aspect and accompanying visual attributes. Basquiat’s aesthetic of his collage style paintings plays on the contingency of the mainstream's racial constructions. However, much repeated is the standard issue biography of his life: his multi-racial upbringing (Puerto Rican American mother, Haitian father); his quick rise to fame and his

Abstract expressionist sculptors, including Nevelson, aimed to built sculpture that is the particular piece of art by emphasizing the material and color. The medium used by many man sculptors during the Second World War was

One of the most influential graphic artists of their time was M.C. Escher. Many of his pieces include impossible geometric contradictions as well as mesmerizing architectural anomalies that would be almost impossible to duplicate in real life. Many of his pieces included perspective elements influenced with the use of mirrored surfaces creating distorted views of his own sight. A few pieces that stand out most are the Hand with Reflecting Sphere, Still Life and Street, Balcony, Bookplate, and Still Life with Mirror. Along with his art, his journey to becoming the artist he was known to be was an incredible story.

The artwork, “Number 10,” by Mark Rothko displays two rectangles (top, yellow and the bottom, white) with a baby blue background color. Seeing the painting for the first time was surprising since I didn’t understand how it correlated with the title. It was easy to look at, but it didn’t catch my attention right away! I felt confused and frustrated while observing the piece because I didn’t know how I was going to find the meaning that lay behind the painting. This reminded me of my first-born nephew; I had such a difficult time trying to understand why he would cry so much. However, I was aware that crying was his way of communicating how he felt, just like painting this abstract piece was Rothko's style of communication.
