Liz Larner's Art Analysis

The artist that I decided to research was Lee S. Ivey. She was great at making sculptures. She did oil painting and drawings as well. Her paintings were amazing. However, I’m more fascinated with her sculptures because they’re so different and they tell a story. She even have a piece called “Deaf President Now”, which is currently on display at Gallaudet University. Pieces like this really shows how she was part of the Deaf community, and how she saw the talent and aspirations of the community. I like the mysteriousness of her art and how it causes you to wonder what emotions she was feeling when she created the piece, and what the message was that she was trying to convey. All of her pieces seem to have some kind of message. For example,

In the art world the audience plays a big part on the success of the artwork and the artist. In this case Del Kathryn Barton is the artist, she has created multiple, unique works. She has great success with theses artworks including winning multiple Archibald Prizes. “Hugo” weaving, 2013, and her self portrait were two artworks that stood out of all the works due to their meaning and appearance. Some people will love but then some people hate it. Having a person so big as Hugo Weaving really brings the world closer to acknowledging the artwork. If there was no audience the artwork or Del Kathryn Barton would have no success.

Elizabeth Gower is a Melbourne based collage artist. She uses printed packaging and other familiar household detritus as her source material to create works of intricate geometric patterns. Her small and delicate new work, Cycles and Matrix, invites closer inspection in the Sutton Gallery’s simple unpretentious space. One is mesmerized by the repetitions and multiplicity of the layering of discarded junk materials, transforming the chaotic waste material of the 21st Century into ordered beauty.

Art History is the study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts. The history of art, we feel, can sometimes be confused with art criticism. However, Art History is concerned with finding the value of the artistic piece in respect with others in the same category of art or movement, and art criticism is more of an evaluation of art. The art examined best represents the culture during the time period, visions the artist imagined, and history behind an event. It also represents society in a specific area, beliefs the people may have, writing that tells a story, the natural world and environment, conflict between people and areas, and the human body. With these representations, artwork overall represents the life in which we live (d). Each piece has its own genre, design, format and style to it. This makes each piece extremely different, yet pleasing to the eye. They also vary between paintings, sculptures and architecture. These different types also make a variety of artwork to be seen by all people. The art pieces that I chose, Jar, Bottle and Glass by Juan Gris, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí, and Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, seemed interesting to me and I believe to best represent the context in which they were created, along with the major artistic movements of the time. I went on to research them more thoroughly to better understand the history behind them,

Woman From Willendorf is a sculpture of a overweight woman with rather large breasts made out of limestone in the Paleolithic period back in 24000 BCE. The figurine has a very grainy surface and it appears to have been covered in a red paint at some point which has now gone away or faded. The figurine also extremely exaggerates the size of the actual female body by having oversized belly, thighs and breasts, although we cannot see the back part of the figurine I bet it has an oversized behind as well. The person who created this figurine was aiming at the creating at expressing the health and fertility of a healthy woman. A healthy woman would mean that she could take care of the offspring and ensure strong children with could help the clan

Many scholars criticize Neiman’s work because of his splashy, kinetic, and jigsaw-like style however; these critics have failed to fully evaluate Neiman’s work. Neiman is known for capturing many split second moments such as many of Muhammad Ali’s boxing matches and other Olympic events. Receiving much scorn, Neiman’s works are often dismissed for superficiality and garish among the art world. The common misconceptions have failed to acknowledge the discrete hints that reflect the development of African Americans. Leroy Neiman's paintings capture juxtaposition between frustration and aspiration through dramatic brush strokes, contrasting portrayals of community development, and metaphorical placements symbolizing the possibility of opportunity

Art. A word that encompasses different ideas and feelings to everyone of us. Boredom, excitement, hate, love, to the themes of politics, portraits, photographs, comedy and on and on. The art of taking a photograph and transporting it to a piece of canvas with paint and acrylic is called photo realism. A pioneer of her time, Audrey Flack did just that. Her name is synonymous with photorealism in the art world. She took the world by a storm with her paintings of people and and their emotions based off of photography. (Kleiner, 971) Becoming the first artist to actually express emotion into her art as all other photorealistic artist chose emotionless still life. She opened up a can of excitement and depth when she went from abstract painting in the 1950's to the 1960's photorealism. In 1966 her collection was permanently displayed at the Museum of Modern Art, allowing Audrey Flack to become the first photorealistic artist to have this happen to.

In conclusion, after reviewing and evaluating these three pieces of art, it is plain to see that Myranda Bair had a similiar perception in mind for each of her artwork. It was clear that in Mojave Yucca, All That Glitters (Roadrunner), Desert 1, 2, 3 Myranda desired to use fundamentals, media and processes, and themes. Although she used fundamentals, media and processes, and themes onto each of the three pieces, it made it clear that each contrasted from one another. Myranda hoped for the terrariums to develop intimacy between the beholders and jog someone's memory that these critters were what occupied Southern Nevada from the beginning. In spite of the fact that, painstaking detail is found on the front of the so called mixed-medium, the

I want to start off with how much I loved the paper Holding Up the Arts by Diane Ragsdale. Ragsdale did an amazing job giving life to a problem that authors have struggled to do no matter the length of their works. As a result, the dilemma within the art’s nonprofit sector doesn’t come across off as dry and lengthy, but rather easy to understand and relatable. As an artist, she was able to bring together two worlds that both exist within the arts, but are difficult to tie together – the artistic side and the economic side.

Artwork that depicts the environment is fascinating. Artists that create artwork about environmentalism and ecology tend to focus on nature as a whole or one specific thing from nature. They like to create artwork that shows how things shape our understanding of the natural world, show the changing of landscapes of the American West, or even artwork that addresses some of the problems with animal rights. Mark Dion is an artist who observes how ideologies and public schools tend to mold our understanding of the natural world and history. Robert Adams is a photographer who documents the issues about the changing of the American West. His photography shows how nature is being destroyed because of the fast paced growth of human living and society. Marco Evaristti is an installation artist like Mark Dion but Evaristti’s art focuses on animal rights. He uses living animals in certain situations to where the audience could potentially cause harm to the animals. This kind of artwork focused around the environment and nature really appealed to me because I like the outdoors and seeing animals in the wild. These three artists appealed to me because I liked their reasoning behind their artwork. I do believe urban cities are growing at a really

The Resurrection of Christ is from the Baroque period. This work of art portrays the sense of dramatic antagonism that Caravaggio achieved by manipulating light across full range of tones, changing the intensity and transforming its radiance this was done so that every beam and shadow expressed a dissimilar emotional content. (Sayre, 2010) In Rembrandt painting he focused on using emotional contrast between light and dark tones to emphasize the emotional difference. Here you can see pure light radiating out of the tomb of darkness. Christ himself begins to rise from the tomb in the light of true symbolic

The most prominent quality of Elizabeth Bishop’s, “One Art,” remains the concise organization and rhyme scheme of the poem, which amazingly keeps the audience informed at all times what the theme. Her choice of a villanelle constantly reminds the audience that “the art of losing” always seem easy until one loses something so much more than an inanimate object and at the point, it does become a “disaster.” Written in 1976, the poem is very modern and uses an impeccable rhyme scheme, diction, and imagery to convey the hints of misery and frantic the speaker feels.

If you have some free time and have always wanted to visit an art gallery, a start is the Art Sacré exposition. Just do not expect high quality art. Running from October twenty-third to December eight-teenth at Les Salles de Gesù, the exposition features four artists depicting spirituality and inner self.

The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the
