Myranda Bair's Three Pieces Of Art Analysis

Gabrielle Roy's "The Move", highlights a young girl's longing for adventure and travel toward unknown destinations. However, as she realizes what is truly present outside her imagination, a surge of disillusionment comes over her. The child's description of horses, spearheading an adventure, but then falling ill and tired, illustrates the girl's realization that excitement and joy in the world cannot amount to her vivid imagination. In the short story, the image of weary moving horses parallels the child's sudden grasp of reality, illustrating the naive character's loss of innocence.

1. “Mary Karr presents her childhood in an almost unbroken panorama. Mine is a fogged-out landscape from which occasional memories appear like isolated trees  . . . . the kind that look as if they might like to grab and eat you.”

I am currently standing in the Barbara and Theodore Alfond Gallery in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts. The gallery is consisted of many paintings of 1800-1900s North America, and the atmosphere of the area is very calm and quiet. Mainly portraits and landscape paintings occupy the gallery, although some artifacts from the time period are here as well, like lockets and furniture. The room is covered in pale blue wallpaper, which is fitting because the painting that I am currently looking at is The Fog Warning by 19th century painter Winslow Homer. According to the description the Museum of Fine Arts provided with the painting, Homer settled in Prout’s Neck, Maine in the late 1800s, which is a fishing community and a summer

The image I chose for this paper is titled A Rose. The image is a painting painted in oil on a canvas and was painted by Thomas P. Anshutz. The painting was produced in Pennsylvania during 1907. I researched this image on ARTstor by using the term realism and then I narrowed down my search by selecting a filter to return paintings as well as setting the geography filter to North America. The painting belongs to The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection and is on display in the American Wing in the gallery of Images of Woman from 1880 to 1910.

When it comes to taking a child away from their parents, there are many things that need to be taken into consideration. If a child is being neglected, it is obvious that the child needs to be taken away from the parents, right? Not always. In the article “The Separation” by Larissa MacFarquah, the concept of child neglect and abuse is discussed. If a mother is too poor and cannot afford to upkeep her home or buy food for her children, is that neglect?

Liz Larner creates art that has a presence and that shows instability. Her art is influenced by poetics. This is shown through the overlap in some sculptures as well as breakage in others. The art that she produces gives a sense of flow and completeness. Using instability as part of her work is something that brings a sense of change to her work as well as almost never using the same techniques. Her relation of her art work to real life shows her beliefs in the balance of reality and illusion.

In Anzia Yezierska's short story "The lost beautifulness," the protagonist Hanneh Hayyeh scrimps and saves to be able to paint her apartment white to make it look respectable for her son Ady when he comes home from fighting World War I. Hayyeh wants some kind of hope to cling to in her desperate immigrant's life. Although the dialect of the characters is Russian-Jewish and the setting is in an early 20th century urban environment, the idea of immigrant aspirations and the conflict between rich and poor is a common theme in American literature.

Art is meant to make someone feel something. Artists can convey emotions through their art. However, what happens when the emotion that is conveyed in anger, sadness, or grief. This creates controversy in art. I believe that the painting Myra, by Marcus Harvey creates a feeling of anger and sadness within its viewers that creates controversy. This controversy comes from the events behind this painting but also the way the artist, Marcus Harvey, painted it.

The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the

This is a picture is a primary source of Belle Boyd. In the portrait Boyd is wearing a long and big dress. Boyd also has a bracelet on both arms and wearing a necklace around her neck. Boyd is sitting on a chair, has a curtain behind her and there is also wooden stairs behind Boyd. I will use this picture to show what she looks likes.

Georgia O’Keeffe is considered the mother of American Modernism, known for her New Mexico landscapes, New York buildings, and abstract flowers portrayed with precise line and form. She was the first American artist to paint in unadulterated abstraction, painting flowers with exquisitely portrayed details, making them looks as if they had been magnified.

The feminist art movement that emerged in the 1970s aimed to change the established narrative in art and give women a more prominent voice. The overall goal of this movement was to revolutionize the nature of art in a way that would transform society. Art produced during this era focused on experience and meaning over form and style. Thus, feminist artists wanted to include more representation of the female experience, as it was so severely left out of art, and recognize it as different but equally as valid as their male counterparts.

I have always been intrigued with the Mona Lisa, I don’t know why but there is something about her smile and her eyes that captivates me. The realness of the painting and how ordinary the Mona Lisa is the reason why I can look at this painting with great joy, it doesn’t make me think too much, it doesn’t confuse me, the simplicity and the normalcy of this painting is what I enjoy so much. However, after an analysis you can see that the painting isn’t so ordinary.

An artist Audrey Flack created a painting in 1987, Wheel of Fortune, that is an artwork that puts out the presence of death and tarot cards to create a message of that fate is apart of the cycle of life that is all played out by chance (page 16). The artist attended the Cooper Union to study art and years later she was recruited by an artist. Flack graduated from Yale University, and while attending that university she mainly focused on doing abstract expressionist. Flack was the first to project a photo into a painting called photorealism painting, she started a movement. Other styles of artwork she worked with are graphic realism, new realms, and sculptures.

A work of art can capture a moment in a person’s life. When observing art it’s almost like a snapshot of a brief point in time. The artist tries to create this specific point, and within this creates a story or meaning. The art has something to say and the artist wants you to react or take something away from this experience. The reaction is the function of the specific work of art. Whether it’s a favorable or awful reaction, the viewer still walks away changed.
