Magnolias On Gold Velvet Cloth Analysis

On September 26, 2017 I visited the Dallas Museum of Art where I saw “The Fountain of Vaucluse” by Thomas Cole. The oil on canvas painting, displays a rocky landscape which captures the beauty of nature and civilization while also provoking thought in the viewer. An individual’s nature to hope for something better than the current discomfort he or she is experiencing is portrayed through Cole’s use of color and environmental contrast in this piece.

Orchids & Art, a quaint store tucked away behind Arena Liquor off Corporate Lake Drive in Columbia, Missouri, was brimming with wooden picture frames of various sizes waiting to be picked like ripe apples hanging from an apple tree. Navigating through the back of the store was like trekking through a maze. Glazed frames lay in the walkway, while others were plastered across the wall. An ethereal garden of beautiful orchids sat in a small corner towards the front of the store. Orange and white petals blossomed from pots of assorted shapes and sizes. It added a feminine touch to the masculine wooden frames. Kelly Coalier’s cartoon-like paintings, including one of George Washington with purple guns above his head, sat for

Prompt: Select and fully identify two paintings from different art historical periods and cultures that depict the same subject or theme.  Then discuss how the presentations are a reflection of the culture and style in which it was created.

I have chosen a famous oil on canvas painting: Venus and Cupid by Lorenzo Lotto made around the fifteenth and sixteenth century during the Italian Renaissance period. Overall, this piece is extremely intriguing to me, I cannot imagine how the artist created it with such detail and precision. Overall, this painting has this happy and positive mood, but it is also makes me curious as to what this painting is about. It also gives me this feeling to smile for Cupid and Venus in the painting, rather than with them, as there faces are conveyed as being happy together. Its colors similarly, just like the overall painting, has this beautiful bright and cheery color that seem to suit Venus and Cupid well.

A while back my uncle took my brother and me to a trip to the Museum of Contemporary of Art in San Diego. However, on that day, the museum had an event of Mexican heritage artist. I do not remember exactly all the details on that day, but fortunately, I do remember one painting I was able to remember, the “Flower Seller.” At the time, I could not understand why the picture had impact me and was the only one I can remember well. When I was young, I thought the young girl was decorating, but now I doubt she was decorating it. Today, I do not know what the girl is doing anymore. Is she about to carry it? What is in the background? Is she in a market or a field? And why is it that I remember this painting so well?

The piece I am writing about is the Red Canna, by Georgia O’ Keefe. This oil piece of art is a painting that is nonrepresentational. The forms in this painting are flourishing which can be seen from looking at the flower petals developing across the canvas.The shapes in this piece can be described as sharp, organic, and curvy. The subject of this artwork is growing as means to the flower maturing which show more and bigger details. The location background of this picture is outdoors, maybe in the woods, the jungle, or by a beach. The location of this piece is currently located at the Arizona State University Museum. I found this beautiful painting on Santa Fe Campus on one of the wall columns. The light in this composition is very powerful

The name of the museum I visit was the Lowe Art Museum in the University of Miami, I really loved the visit I enjoy it and I learn about so many cultures and different arts that amaze me of how they were so creative and passionate. The work that I select because it called my attention since I got to the place it make me change my direction and to go there because of that brilliant blue and fantastic size that had so much beauty in it. Breathing Glass by Sandy Skoglund she was born on September 11, 1946 in Quincy Massachusetts; she attended Smith College, where she studied studio art and art history from 1964 to 1965. When I stand up in front of that giant art I start visualizing and try to see her idea in my mind without really knowing anything about her. When I saw it I didn’t even see the tiny men in the bottom, where the head of the three figures that their body where like humans. The first thing I saw where the beautiful crystalize dragonflies in the back they were so many and with the same size. The human figure had different size for my interpretation was like a woman, a children and a man. That feeling that the work aroused in me was of freedom because when you

My gallery will feature portraitures throughout history. Portraits have been around since the beginning of art. History affects every aspect of our lives including art; artist changed the style of portraitures depending on what was going on in the world at that time. At first portraits were only painted of the wealthy or someone who was deemed important. In these times, it was usually kings, queens, or religious figures that they believed were worth painting. The first picture I choose to feature in my gallery is a piece titles An Allegory of the Tudor Succession: The Family of Henry VIII. The artist of this painting is unknown but is believed that is was created around ca. 1590. This painting is an oil on panel that pictures Henry VIII sitting on his throne with his family surrounding him. This is a perfect example of what a family portrait would have looked like many years ago. Whoever the artist was created an exquisite painting capturing every detail of the subjects clothing, the tapestry hanging behind the king, the rug, and the outline of the city featured in the background. The painting has a lot of maroon and gold colors throughout that give it a very rich look. I think this picture fits into my gallery because it shows just what painters were asked to do in this period which was focus their talents on capturing the important people in history; in this case, it was Henry VIII and his family.

In front of the SCAD Museum of Art it represents “A Poem in the form of flowers”. The exhibition is by Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt. Each of the four jewel boxes represents the word poem with artificial flowers spelling the word “poem”. They both also did something similar in Miami airport using peace and love. The color scheme they used is analogous colors which means different colors sit next to each other on the color wheel. Behar and Marquardt used colors such as red, red-orange, orange and red-violet. For the background they used the color of the sky in savannah so that they will pop out. I noticed how there was one flower that was blue which was a good idea to make it stand out it contrast with the blue background. Since the

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

Portraits have always been an important genre in painting. Portraits were primarily created for royalty and nobles because they exuded power and wealth. If you were able to commission a portrait of yourself, you were a very important person. As time went on though, portraits became less exclusive and middle-class people were able to commission or purchase portraits as well. After a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where I observed several paintings, I found three portraits that interested me that I will now analyze and compare - Bartolomeo Passarotti, Portrait of a Man Playing a Lute, 1576; Jan de Bray, Portrait of a Boy Holding a Basket of Fruit, 1658; and Hippolyte-Paul Delaroche, Marquis de Pastoret,1829.

The artwork will be a full-color painting of Maria Garces drawing flowers on a notebook. The flowers have come alive and grow past the boundaries of the notebook and canvas. This piece will an 18 in x 24 mixed media work which may include things such as acrylic paint, oil paint, pouring medium, resin, clay, fabric, synthetic flowers, and wood.

One pleasant afternoon, my classmates and I decided to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts to begin on our museum assignment in world literature class. According to Houston Museum of Fine Art’s staff, MFAH considers as one of the largest museums in the nation and it contains many variety forms of art with more than several thousand years of unique history. Also, I have never been in a museum in a very long time especially as big as MFAH, and my experience about the museum was unique and pleasant. Although I have observed many great types and forms of art in the museum, there were few that interested me the most.

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

The colors and materials used really draws your attention as soon as you step into the doors. It used many everyday materials, such has trash, yarn fabric, and random objects you find around your house. The exhibition in this gallery is called Forget Me Not which will be leaving on December sixth. The point of this exhibition is to mirror the process of memory through forgetting. It also includes artwork from a number of female contemporary artist who are around the Atlanta area. Some of the art work was made based on the patterns of wind movement. It showed the different waves of the wind by using fabric of different colors to signal the directions. Two other pieces of art work were made out of trash completely. Each piece with the trash intertwining with each other. Other pieces just looked like random trash taken out and put on shelfs. Although all the pieces were very interesting, the one that caught my eye the most was the biggest and most colorful one of them all. It covered the entire wall. It was called Sunset Portraits from 28,029,142 Sunset Pictures on Flickr on 7/14/05, 2008- ongoing by Penelope Umbrico. It was a big collage of photographs all piece together. In fact the artist just sent the pictures to the school and the students and staff were able to piece the photos together any way they wanted. Umbrico questioned the idea of the democratization of media, and where it claims to foster subjectivity and individuality. She also address how images function on the internet rather than physical time and space, and also how it is depicted on the web then how it is printed out on paper. She takes the images on line as a collective archive that represents us as people. This work really draws the viewer in with the peacefulness of all of the sunsets put together. The different colors and the silhouettes of the people who are happily enjoying each other’s company gives off a certain
