Max Faircl Photographer Analysis

CLS- He achieved a mystical attribute into all of his images with the inspiration from various paintings that shared the same aspect and editing them to have a natural effect.

realistic paintings of a person, typically done by a professional artist but could be done

These art pieces exemplify this Zeitgeist because they each show how the artist sees themselves. In the painting by Chuck Close, he creates a very realistic painting which is created by, “small dashes, dots of pigment, thumbprints, or applied pieces of colored paper.” Jean-Michel Basquiat’s painting is also representing how he envisions himself. This painting looks kind of demon or monster-like. When one compares these two paintings they can see how differently these artists portrayed

     I have had several interviews with Max. During the first interviews, he was slightly withdrawn. He did not want to answer any questions, and when he would speak it was in a very quiet voice. Over time, we developed a rapport. He told me in detail about the island of the Wild Things, and has drawn several pictures of what the creatures looked like. He

photographs. His most famous work is his "The Brown Sisters" portrait sisters. He has photographed porch life in the rural south, schools

All of his images combine bold color and graphic design. Turner uses techniques such as using

Contemporary Artists are becoming more popular in today’s culture; however, there were some back in the early 1930s and late 1940s that started the contemporary movement such as Bruce Nauman, Stefan Sagmeister, and Christo & Jeanne-Claude. Bruce Nauman is considered to be the most influential contemporary artist. Nauman expresses his idea using diverse materials and media, which is why it’s hard to recognize his work as one particular style. His contemporary artwork reflects how old modernists have disappeared and clearly states that the graphic design community has moved on. One of his most

It was there that he dabbled in new forms, styles, and materials and also produced some Pop art. Chuck Close spent quite a bit of time trying to find his artistic niche. In an interview with Ilka Scobie, Close explained that he had been doing big paintings “forever… In graduate school I made the biggest paintings. That is the only aspect of my work that hasn’t changed…” (3). Although Chuck Close experimented for a long time before he found his signature style, which seems to be a combination of a gridding process, abstract expressionism, and portraiture, it has turned into something very unique and appealing to the viewer. The time he took to figure out his personal style was certainly not wasted. Close explained that his inability to recognize faces (prosopagnosia) “may have inadvertently pushed me in the direction I’m working today—trying to scrutinize the faces of the people I know and love, and trying to figure out what they look like” (Smith 15). Chuck Close’s signature style depicts the faces of many different people in an abstract way. He uses a grid method and each square is “made form multiple small geometric forms” (Ravin, and Odell). His work is abstract and very large. Close’s paintings are remarkable, viewing them at an up close view or at a distance gives the viewer an entirely different experience. It is almost as if the viewer is looking at two separate pieces of

Sargent paintings often broke the traditional sense of portraiture. They clearly have the influence of photography. Scenes seemed to be “cropped,” such as the painting “Street in Venice.” The painting looks as if it is a freeze frame of life. The clear motion of the women’s leg as her dress swishes

The Voices across the Color Line consist of oral history transcriptions of collected audio and video tape of the memories of individuals active in the Civil Rights Movement and protests. The Stephen Goldfarb Photographs collection consists of photographs of the historic African-American neighborhood, and the AME church of Auburn Avenue (Atlanta, Ga.). This church is the oldest African-American congregation in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, and according to the church history, the mother church of AME in North Georgia.

An artist has to make themselves distinguished by making their pieces interesting which grabs the eye of the audience. Tyrek has certainly made that happen in his artwork by showing scenes that a normal mind wouldn't imagine. Looking back at an artist's prior work and comparing it to newer work may be useful in getting a better understanding of the overall series. In this comparison I will point out surrealism, where the pieces are taking place, and the medium used to create the pieces. Now, let’s take a look at his newest piece to understand what is going on to make this compare and contrast more quality.

Indeed challenging, rephotography has grown in practice and some have become iconic. For some time, Mark Klett and colleagues have produced the most comprehensive examples of the changing land and open spaces in the American West (Klett, Manchester, Verburg, Busham, & Dingus, 1984; Ware, 2011). In the mid-1970s, Klett and his team rephotographed 19th century photographs originally taken by Timothy O’Sullivan, William Henry Jackson, and others commissioned by the U.S. government led surveys of the American West in the 1870s (see Ch. 3). Revisiting 120 locations 100 years later, they captured the same historic places with precision and detail from the same vantage points, lighting conditions, time of day, and time of year. Klett and associates

Anthony Goicolea and Caroline Vaughan's still life photographs both use lighting, mood, composition, and color vs black and white to bring out each of their views or outlook on the photograph and also their metaphorical purpose or intention. Anthony's photo is more of a unique and sharp image with a bright, bold, significant and meaningful mood. His photo has many sources of light and doesn't have very many shadows. Caroline uses the techniques to create a restrained or muted image with a major, and gloomy or dull mood. In her photo she uses one single light source, a dismal and dim background, and shadows throughout the photo.

big canvas that he called "The Joy of Life" is actually the announcement of this style. Although
