Moxey And Cosgrove Analysis

In “Ways of Seeing”, John Berger, an English art critic, argues that images are important for the present-day by saying, “No other kind of relic or text from the past can offer such direct testimony about the world which surrounded other people at other times. In this respect images are more precise and richer literature” (10). John Berger allowed others to see the true meaning behind certain art pieces in “Ways of Seeing”. Images and art show what people experienced in the past allowing others to see for themselves rather than be told how an event occurred. There are two images that represent the above claim, Arnold Eagle and David Robbins’ photo of a little boy in New York City, and Dorothea Lange’s image of a migratory family from Texas; both were taken during the Great Depression.

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.

As we know, the result of “Art is” is “Art is” which returned in an ephemeral form at the Studio Museum. All forty photographs are on display on the basement level of the galleries, which are supposedly reserved for pieces in their permanent collection. The room just outside, whether coincidentally or not, is filled with photos of students - reflecting personal memories. How the museum decides to play with this, is by missing them with old-timer photos of Harlem from the

It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but

The museum believes in a pastiche and populist pathway, in which the history of all people is displayed. Its interactive viewpoint allows this museum to convey history in a way that would be more accessible to its audience. For example, patrons are given the opportunity to record their own history. However, academics, such as Keith Windschuttle, assert that the NMA is a “profound intellectual waste”. He argues that although it displays accurate history, it’s purpose of entertaining its audience detracts from its value, thus creating “waste”. Although Windschuttle’s view may be extreme, it demonstrates the considerable extent to which the tension between academic and popular historians exist.

This was successfully created by reconsidering and challenging the established conventions of 'perspective '. Illustrated through 'relativity ', artists combined visual consideration and memory into a concentrated 'still ' which they felt best documented the age in an abstract form, but which was wholly all the more realistic. This form was not only retained for art but stretched into prominent literature; several authors best deployed

As you arrive into the reception area of the Cleveland Museum of Art, you are greeted with silence. The clomping of shoes and whispers of fellow museum goers about what the “true meaning” behind the piece is fills the air. The first floor of the museum is dedicated to historical artifacts and artwork dating in the time period called Before Common Era (B.C.E.). Each piece is accompanied by a placard on the wall courtesy of the museum. The pieces are approximately dated, described, and an explanation of how each piece was used is given in the short paragraph.

The Dallas Museum of Art, or the DMA, displayed artwork of many different time periods from unique parts of the world, Africa all the way to South America. The cultures from room to room constantly shift in complexity and variety. Each room gave the audience a peek of what the past lives of this culture looked like and their values. The entire museum incorporated different parts of the world, each being exotic in their own way, and no two being alike.

When I attend the Oklahoma Art Museum this morning, I was completely blown away by the different styles, technique, and artistic abilities that artist have. Art can come in many forms and can involve many different things. From paintings, sculptures, and abstract pieces of the modern world. Along with my visit, I got to experience a new collection of blown glass that was absolute remarkable. As I walked though the museum, it was as I walked though time and got to see how each period’s art changed throughout time. From the different shades of color to the different types of technique that filled the halls of the Oklahoma City Art Museum, each piece was genuine in its own way. I was starstruck as I witnessed Lowell Nesbitt’s Parrot Tulip, Richard Diebenkorn’s Albuquerque, and Dale Chihuly’s blown glass.

I think that the timeline shows to some extent that art throughout history has been and still is the major form of

In this passage, the author intends to cite a highly detailed explanation about the Gothic world by first providing background information of it and then elaborating on it with specific examples such as ‘The lady with the Unicorn’ and ‘The North Portal of Chartres’. The writer effectively depicts the Gothic world in mainly two ways: comparing it with the medieval era and using luxurious vocabulary to describe the characteristics of sentimental courtly love. The author firstly uses words like ‘chivalry’, ‘courtesy’, and ‘romance’ to demonstrate the traits of the gothic world and in order to give a better image of the Gothic world, the author adds on that the Gothic era was when architectures reached a point of exaggeration unique in history. In addition, the author compares Gothic art to a contradicting medieval art in order to emphasize

Throughout the reading, Bagley makes readers rethink about the meaning of art history and the reason of art assignments through his analysis on other experts’ faiths. I agree with Bagley’s arguments on art history teaching and support his practical solutions for beginners to make comparisons. The author seems to emphasizing that comparisons help beginners hypothesize the artist’s intention and further understand the properties of the object from contrasting Ernst Kitzinger’s and Taylor’s writings. Kitzinger compares and contrasts the style of arch in different time periods which make his writing convincible and factual; on the other hand, Taylor compares artworks with his own drawing and unrelated ones which is nonsense to me. After reading

Throughout the vast history of art, historians can find connections throughout the centuries. Artists from the beginning of humankind have been inspired by the world around them. From the Apollo 11 stones to present day, history and culture have provided inspiration and have been the focus of various pieces. Examining artwork from the 15th-18th century, viewers can be shown a whole world that would be unknown to us without these artist’s contributions. History, religion, and cultural events have sculpted the art world, and we can observe this through many pieces during the 15th-18th centuries.

According to H.W Janson, the History of Art, It would seem that we cannot escape viewing works of art in the context of time
