On a trip to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, my boyfriend, David, and I strolled through the museum while I, being an art history major, recited to him all that I knew about certain pieces. We observed sculptures by Auguste Rodin, works painted by Georgia O’Keeffe, and busts of Roman leaders. David was enjoying all the artwork until we reached the Contemporary art gallery upon where viewing Mark Rothko’s Untitled No. 11 made in 1963, he shook his head in anger at what he thought was a painting far from a masterpiece. His comment was one I’m sure many have said about this particular piece and many other modern pieces of art, “I could have painted that.” I couldn’t help to reply, “Yeah, but you didn’t.” David’s sudden reaction upon viewing the

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is a very beautiful, calm, and peaceful museum. My first impression of this museum was that it was a very unique museum because of the paintings and structures.

If you have time to view one gallery of paintings at the St. Louis Art Museum if you’re in St. Louis, the collection of European Art should be your only choice. European Art consists of varieties of paintings, sculptures, textiles, and metalwork made in Europe and parts of the British Isles between the 7th and 18th centuries. Early records of European Art came from the Ancient Middle East around 3000 BC, where art forms from the Ancient Middle East began to become abundant in Europe. As artistic development was made, different cultures would adopt their own forms of it and cause it to spread to most of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Eventually, as time went on, art would change, vary and types of it would flourish, depending on what was going on in society. It’s very rare

Located on 99 Gansevoort Street, the Whitney Museum of American Art is currently host to an art exhibit by Laura Owens. According to curators, her artwork portrays an “exploration of painting, architecture and perception”, which can be seen in her installation at the museum. In the late 1990s, Owens emerged from the Los Angeles art scene after receiving her masters from California Institute of the Arts. The experimental, abstract and innovative attitude she has towards art is displayed in her 60-painting-feature at the Whitney Museum. These artworks are representative of her career journey as some of them were created in the mid-1990s, when she was a novice artist, while others were finalized a few days before the exhibition. Alongside Owens’ installation are both permanent and temporary collections such as Grant Wood’s “American Gothic and Other Fables”, Zoe Leonard’s “Survey”, and Ilse Bing’s “Dead End II”.

Of the three Assignment prompts, it was “threshold” that spoke to me in its sense as a point of entry or beginning -- in my artistic interpretation, to a new reality or narrative. In exploring the literal, literary and figurative meaning of the word, I decided to create a narrative from each meaning, which resonated with me and stirred the creative juices necessary to begin.

The prevalence of the power in women has increasingly developed through the prehistoric and ancient times in human art history. By gaining more valuable and prominent meaning through the eras, women as a societal gender have increasingly advanced from being seen first as solely objects of maternality, to later seen as functioning and flourishing members of society. Through the analyzation of well known ancient art sculptures, such as The Venus of Willendorf that is on display at the Vienna Museum of Natural History in Austria, to the later Figure of Isis-Aphrodite that can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, the advancement of appreciation and awareness of the capabilities of female can be clearly extracted and observed.
