Pasadena Museum Of California Art Analysis

Proficient Images 14 points:  You have the required image for at least one of your artworks. I am glad you included images for both. You could even do close ups of the artworks if you get into the details.

3. The final similarity, I found is that without knowing the artists history, it would appear that both paintings were based on social upbringings.

The first piece I am focusing on is entitled The Death of Socrates. It is painted with oil on canvas by a French artist named Jacques Louis David in 1787. This image depicts the true story of the trial of Socrates. Socrates was an Athenian philosopher and teacher who constantly challenged the beliefs and politics of his state. He sought to teach the youth of Athens his methods of philosophy and politics. In 399 BC, Socrates was accused of impiety (specifically not believing in the gods that Athens believed in) and corruption of youth. The jury of Athens decided that Socrates was guilty of

The Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art trip was amazing, I have the pleasure of seeing numerous art work that I have heard about. But going there give me a real taste of the struggle as well as the accomplishment of these artists like Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Rousseau, Fernand Leger and so much more. These paintings were the expression of the free liberty of their imagination where the artist did feel have the freedom to portrait anything that he was please to. But the two ones that attract my attention were from the same artist Vincent Van Gogh; these painting were really different from what you could have actually seeing from the reality. The starry night painting portrait the raise of the sun on a sleeping village,

Soundsuits are sculptural forms that are based on the scale of the body. The soundsuits disguise the body, masking and creating a second casing or membrane that conceals race, gender, and class. The inspiration behind the soundsuit from Orlando Museum of Art’s was looking at the status of the world where people are judged by how they look, their skin color, the type of clothes they wear or whether they are male or female. Nick Caves’ aim was to remove judgments in the world and create an atmosphere of peace and happiness. The sound suit creates a feeling of excitement and fulfillment in people, giving them a sense of belonging and equality with everyone else in the world. The soundsuit from Orlando Museum of Art is a combination of modern dance,

My visit to the Nasher Museum of Art on Friday was quite entertaining to say the least. Each photo began to have a new meaning as my classmates interpreted their perspective on each image. I am sure that my interpretation of certain photos shocked a few people, however, it got them thinking.

After visiting the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), I felt as if this was an entire new experience for me, seeing that this was my first time to visit a museum. Before entering the museum, I decided to analyze the front entrance of the Ahmanson building. What I observed is that the inventor of the building kept it simple and precise, which there were red metal bars that supported the front entrance. And there was a glass door incorporated into the entrance as well, this glass door would consist of information of what type of art is inside. For example, modern art, Islamic art, European art, and so on. As I went inside, I was welcomed with an enormous piece of art that encompassed several geometric shapes. Likewise, this art piece could be studied from multiple perspectives, from the first floor and second floor. As for the work of arts, most of the art was displayed on white walls, it should be noted that the walls were beginning to become dirty. One last thing about the interior of the building is that I appreciated the atmosphere, since there was sufficient space to observe the art from different viewpoints. That being said, I will now go on and discuss about the piece of art that spoke to me (not literally).

In conclusion, this artist has many prospective aspects in these two drawings that were made by the artist. In these two pieces that Vincent created, he uses extensive creativeness in the way he made his figures and shapes as well. My personal favorite piece that I wrote about is All That Remains, it shows an example of life, in my eyes. How life can be perceived whether it be a sparked interest in life or how quickly death can be for us. These pieces have balance to them as well as excellent blending techniques, the blending in All That Remains is also an excellent example of that technique. Also, the abstraction of both pieces is also quite extensive, the man with the candle as a head is extremely creative for Vincent. Finally, I appreciate

The second painting is about work. It shows the Wall Street in the last century. At that day there was a meeting between the politicians and the businessmen. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was meeting the Legends of the financial world who are J. P. Morgan, Rockefeller

The painting I decided to write about is Lacoste Lineup by George Rodrigue. I chose it because it is a blue dog painting and the blue dog a popular Louisiana painting. I like this particular painting because it also includes another Louisiana animal: an alligator. It reminds me of the things that I love: my home state, and animals. Also, since my favorite color is blue and I love dogs, the fact that there are multiple blue dogs makes this painting so much better. I think that this is art because anything can be art, and this is a great example of a painting that depicts some of Louisiana’s amazing culture.

For these examples I used the successful ‘Georgia Crouch’ and Picasso’s style of cubism to create a new style. I believe that the first example was successful as it flowed better than the second, which had black and white sections making it more disoriented but overall the second artwork was more interesting and filled the white gaps.

of art to new forms of social engagement. In the country he was raised (China)

The first of the three, and my personal favorite, is “Pont Saint-Michel” by Matisse. This piece is very simple, yet has a calming and elegant color scheme and medium. This oil on canvas cityscape uses rough brushstrokes and very few exact lines in order to show an inexact representation of the bridge and its surrounding buildings. The buildings have very little true form, and seem to blend into one another. Their colors are mostly primary, with reds, yellows, and blues standing out the most. These aspects all intertwine in order to show an imperfect representation of a view that Matisse saw nearly every day out of his window. Since Matisse painted this scene multiple times throughout the years that he lived in this building, the transformation in his art styles is apparent. Therefore, this painting shows his transition toward a Fauve composition, since he uses

Second artist is Kazimir Malevich; he was born in February 23, 1878. He is a Russian painter and known for being a geometric abstract artist. One of his art pieces is called, The Knife grinder. As it shows, the shape he has painted varies and comes from different directions. First glance, you can only see different geometric shapes, but once you take a
