Humanity is but a facet of the sublime macrocosm that is the world’s landscapes. In the relationship between man and landscape, nature is perpetually authoritarian. In her free-verse poems, The Hawthorn Hedge, (1945) and Flame-Tree in a Quarry (1949), Judith Wright illustrates the how refusal to engage with this environment is detrimental to one’s sense of self, and the relentless endurance of the Australian landscape. This overwhelming force of nature is mirrored in JMW Turner’s Romantic artwork, Fishermen at Sea (1796). Both Wright and Turner utilise their respective texts to allegorise the unequal relationship between people and the unforgiving landscape.

Throughout history, societies have defined and transformed themselves through their art. When looking at works of art today, a person sees not only the work of art itself, but also the world from which it came from. The same is true for this transformation mask, which reflects the works of art and beliefs of the Northwest Coast Tribes.

The painting of Prof. Felix Walter (Figure 1) made with watercolour on paper on stretcher by Charles Fraser Comfort stands out as an intriguing piece of artwork because of the visual choices C. F. Comfort has produced. I was able to appreciate this work as I had the privilege of attending the Nuit Blanche exhibit at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg on the first of October, 2016 where Prof. Felix Walter was in display at. I found this particular artistry stood out because of its placement in dominance from the other paintings, the use of contrasting styles using the same medium and the bold textures that divulge the prominence of the subject. The artist, C. F. Comfort is worth being aware of because of his exceptional work such as this painting. The composition fashioned by the art gallery should also be duly noted as it took part in making this particular piece stand out.

Located in Howard University Art Museum lies one of the more exclusive oil on canvas paintings done by Mr. Edward Mitchell Bannister. In Mr. Bannister’s landscape portrait he demonstrates the principle of unity and harmony, through the depiction of a natural environment untouched by civilization. Mr. Bannister also showcases fantastic elements of value, shape and color. In order to display to the audience time and location. Due to the absence of information on the world wide web it can be assumed that this is one of the many untitled pieces done by Mr. Bannister, explaining why many collectors and recipients of his artwork refer to Mr. Bannister artwork by what is depicted in his paintings. Thanks to the sophistication and beauty of Mr. Bannister’s

The Museum of Fine Arts, located in St. Petersburg, Florida holds a variety of artworks that depict a specific period in human development and cultural aspects. The variety was very helpful and the process to narrow down the search of a painting of my choice became less difficult. The painting that I choose was made by an American artist named Stuart Davis Untitled (Black and White Variation on Windshield Mirror). Davis’s painting was extremely peculiar and I wanted to further examine its properties. The Untitled has three characteristics that are unique: Davis’s background for creating the painting, understanding the types of lines used, and the choice of color schemes.

Nicholas Wolterstorff is in an internal debate over the actions of God. Him being a Christian believer acknowledges God only in good times but not in difficult times like when he losses of his son Eric. However, he finds happiness when he reads Christian Gospels and understands the atonement. Atonement is forgiveness and reconciliation that humanity has with God. Jesus died on the cross for us, showing the perfect act of love that God has for humans. "In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but Have That I have loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins "(1 John 4: 9-10, ESV). Suffering can have

The painting of Untitled by Gerald Donato displayed in the Taubman Museum in Roanoke allures attention by the chaotic combination of figural pieces and the collided whirlwind of vibrant yellows, oranges, greens, and undertones of black. The background information shares that Gerald Donato was a talented, beloved painter and teacher whose work anticipated references to important art-historical developments. Ideological forces, such as familiar cartoon imagery, “Steamboat Willie”, and formally represented figures, are clearly influences in his work as his interest of hidden subject matter is visually bursted on an oil canvas. He created a blended cartoon-like scene of abstraction and figuration by incorporating a mysterious feminine figure “Moon face” and a recurring character “Mr. Man” to embody a message of escaping from the spiral cage that represents the constraints in life. Mr. Donato borrowed images from past history and radically transformed these elements through his own blend of abstraction and figures to send a message about the conflict between society and individuals.

Viewing John Constable’s painting ‘The Hay Wain’ makes me appreciate that there were established artists in early 19th century. The painting is one of the most studied and sought after in the world and viewing it allows me to understand why majority of people are interested with it (Wikimedia Commons, 2017). The painting evokes a feeling of naturalness and allowed me to connect with the painter’s point of view. Constable was trying to showcase his country side as a natural green place and viewing the painting it is evident he achieved this. The aim of visual arts is to help the artist to communicate a particular aspect that the audience can relate with. The Hay Wain uses magnificent colors and texture that not only attracts

This progress toward enlightened thinking is disrupted when the group gradually begins to be haunted by inexplicable voices. These voices make their first appearance in the temple, a structure produced out of the irrationality of the elder Wieland. Citing Freudian theory, Bernstein claims that “impulses caught up in a family crime must be worked out and expunged before marriage. (Bernstein 153)” In Theodore Wieland’s case, he never came to terms with the mistakes his father committed through his conviction that God had sent him on a mission to prophesize the Native Americans. Bernstein continues by stating that “problematic family histories are thus lodged deeply in the unconscious of the gothic’s present and stand as a dominant motivational

A great artist once wrote, “If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced”. This artist was Vincent van Gogh, soon to be an appraised artist known all around the world for his works, such as Starry Night. He is one of the very first artists of the post-impressionist style than is now adored in every continent. However, there is much more to the man than one painting. Creating a full timeline that stretches beyond Gogh’s life, this paper will discuss the life of Vincent van Gogh and the impression he made on the world.

Using natural phenomenon as a starting point for abstraction, Mark Grotjahn’s paintings straddle the polarities of artifice and nature. His painting, Lavender Butterfly Jacaranda over Green (Fig. 2), expresses his fascination with nature. Transferring the experience of observation to an intrigue of creative possibility, Grotjahn harnesses the mysticism of nature through aesthetic formality.
