Monuments of Dr. Jose P. Rizal Around the World

Pablo Picasso is one of the most famous and well-documented artists of the twentieth century. Picasso, unlike most painters, is even more special because he did not confine himself to canvas, but also produced sculpture, poetry, and ceramics in profusion. Although much is known about this genius, there is still a lust after more knowledge concerning Picasso, his life and the creative forces that motivated him. This information can be obtained only through a careful study of the events that played out during his lifetime and the ways in which they manifested themselves in his

My analysis of how successful and how did this artwork affect the society and culture as its target

The art of Fernando Botero is widely known, revered, paraphrased, imitated and copied, For many, his characteristic rounded, sensuous forms of the human figure, animals, still lifes and landscapes represent the most easily identifiable examples of the modern art of Latin America. For others, he is a cultural hero.To travel with Botero in his native Colombia is to come to realize that he is often seen less as an artist and more as a popular cult figure. In his native Medellín he is mobbed by people wanting to see him, touch him or have him sign his name to whatever substance they happen to be carrying. On the other hand, Botero's work has been discredited by those theorists of modern art whose tastes are dictated more

A monument is an solid, carved in statue that is an representation of a person or event that has made an remarkable time in the past. However, there are many different ways to remember a person or event. Memorializing an person or event is a great way to preserve history; because everyone agrees to enormous expensive statue is more entertaining than reading a boring textbook about the person or event. As a matter of fact, every person in American can not remember every person or event in history because there isn’t enough time and space for that. Therefore, a group or agency should consider the three main factors, size, location, and materials when planning or creating an memorial monument of an important person or event.

The style of this sculpture falls under impressionism. The dimensions are ( 113x 57.8 x 40.5 cm). This particular sculpture was actually entered in a competition that was intended to design a monument that was meant to honor and salute the heroes of Paris who took part in the Defense of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War, although Rodin did no win the contest this monument was still able to be installed in Verdun in the 19th century to show appreciation to the French soldiers of World War I. When you look closely at this sculpture you will see a female who has wings and to me this symbolizes an angel, she is over top of a warrior of some sort who seems hurt or wounded, possibly dead. This female may be his guardian angel or something. The lady with wings seems to be screaming because her mouth is wide open , I am not sure if this is a cry for help or a rejoicing moment.

The masterworks of Bernini and Canova shared similarities along the lines of the sculptors’ works were crafted with precision and a keen eye for detail and were successful in giving their works a realistic effect. Both workers were masters in their own time and were able to manipulate marble to as though they were constructing a painting. They both incorporated classical forms in their works, depicting great scenes from mythical stories that could be viewed in great detail at a 360-degree angle.

t is a monument in dedication to the services of a unknown soldier and to the common memories of all soldiers killed in any war.

Built in 1989, this sculpture is a fine piece of art, as it commemorates the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who travelled across the southwestern border from Mexico into the United States looking for a new start and a life of higher quality post World War II. This single sculpture is of a man crossing the border while carrying a woman on his shoulders. Something that cannot be caught in the first glimpse, but has to be deeply looked into is that fact that the woman is bearing a crying infant in her arms, sheltering the child from harm, which relates to the situation.

People are accustomed to trusting the accuracy of historic documents, however the composition of this the engraving contains several inaccuracies that serious researchers should be aware of. In Fact when images of

Back in France, Bartholdi had problems of his own. The structure of the statue located in the interior was a very formidable task due to its intricate makeup. To circumvent this problem, a man named Alexandre Eiffel, well known due to his composition of the architecture for the Eiffel Tower in Paris, was hired as the structural engineer. He was able to make the skeletal framework and the iron pylons for the statue and construction continued. The statue was completed in 1884, surpassing the deadline by a reasonable number of years.

Monuments are used to memorialize and honor moments, individuals and events of the past. Some monuments do this better than other monuments. In creating a monument there are three essential factors a group or agency should consider to make the monument as effective as possible: location, design features, purpose and backstory. Why these factors? Location and design factors play a massive role in the reception the monument will receive, based on its environment, size and looks a monument will be perceived differently. The purpose and backstory are the two single most important factors to consider in creating a monument. The monuments history, its reason, is the reason just? Is the purpose proper? Does it accurately memorialize the subject? All these questions come with the purpose and backstory of a monument.

The Metropolitan Art Museum has a multitude of art galleries that hold a variety of art pieces that have their own share of stories. The artwork that I chose to dig into the story of is a piece that the museum credits to have been done by the High Renaissance artist, Michelangelo Buonarroti, himself. This particular work is a type of sculpture in which the figures is shown in a three-dimensional form, or freestanding sculpture, that is standing at a height and width of 37 x 13 ¼ and is made purely out of Carrara marble. The statue appears to no more than a young man, comparable to a putti, standing in the contrapposto position which gives it a certain look of

It is moreover pyramidal in structure with the vertex coinciding with Mary’s head. The base of the sculpture depicts the rock of Golgotha and is broader than the progressive

Las Meninas was Velázquez’s largest oeuvre measuring 3.21 m by 2.81 m (Umberger 96). Velázquez’s masterpiece is one that draws sharp criticism ranging from those who find this work as a complete piece with its pictorial features prominent in the artwork, to those who find it hard to interpret its content conclusively (Ancell 159-160; Snyder 542+; Steinberg 48; Bongiorni 88). Despite such disparities, Velázquez’s masterpiece was able to project a day in the life of the royal family while at the same time achieving his artistic ideal. This work explores this artwork in light of the royal family and personal gratification by Velázquez as a celebrated artist.

“Rizal had a burning desire to know exactly the conditions of the Philippines when the Spaniards came ashore to the islands. His theory was the country was economically self-sufficient and prosperous.  Rizal entertained the idea that it had a lively and vigorous community enriched with the collective and sensitive art and culture of the native population. He
