Raymond Pettibon Art Analysis

Morisot uses a variety of techniques to illustrate a peaceful moment between a mother and daughter on the seaside. Throughout the piece, Morisot uses a series of short and spontaneous lines to create the figures and masses. The presence of these loose brush strokes throughout the piece create both rhythm and unity, making the piece simple and composed. However, variety is also created by the strong contrast between the foreground and background of this piece. The overlapping of the woman, child, and deck with the ocean and the disproportional shapes of the people and ships create an illusion of depth and space. This depth separates the masses present in the foreground from the background. The colors used in the foreground and background are also juxtaposed, with bolder and darker colors being used in the foreground and more bright and muddied colors being used in the background. This contrast establishes emphasis on the masses present in the foreground of the piece (the mother and child). The implied lines created by the gazes of the mother and child also contrast, with the mother’s view

The painting “Holiday at Mentone” depicts a beach in Melbourne where people dressed in elaborate clothing are lounging and taking part in seaside activities. The painting appeals to the audience as it is a simplistic and vibrant painting that creates a sense radiance and contentment. The first things you tend to look at in the painting include the lady dressed in pastel pink convening on a beach chair, a white weathered foot bridge place right on the horizon, a well-dressed man in the right of the painting and a coastline that seems as if it stretches on endlessly. Although as you look into closer you recognise new details in the artwork. The woman reading a newspaper seems to be lost in her own world not even observing that her beach umbrella

This work of art is titled, Monterey Bay from Santa Cruz Pogonip. The artist who created this piece is Tom Killion, and its creation came to be in 2002. The piece is a wood stamp press, these presses are hand carved into wood and linoleum blocks. Each variety of color that is present in the piece, a new block has to be created to ensure that the color doesn’t blend in ways the artist would not want it too. In the framed final piece, the stamp is separated into two different frames to gives focus to the the, Monterey Bay and then Santa Cruz. In this piece, Killion uses this chance to portray Santa Cruz in a landscape narrative, he uses depth to enable the landscape. The piece’s foreground is the mountain in Pogonip, a hiking area in the northern part of Santa Cruz County; then it starts spreading out to a horizontal view of the ocean, and at the bottom of the mountain, Santa Cruz is located. In the depiction of the town you see the shadows of the Big Dipper, an amusement park attraction and the historic Holy Cross Catholic Church.

by 90 in, or approximately 5 ½ ft. high by 7 ½ ft. wide. The artwork is imposing and takes up much of the wall, necessitating that the viewer stand in multiple places to view the panting from multiple angles. The painting is in a relatively thin frame, with no glass. The media is oil and acrylic on canvas. The lighting in this gallery space is dim, and the painting is illuminated with two dim spot lights, in such a way that middle of the painting is illuminated more so than the sides. The subject matter of the painting is a view of the San Francisco bay, with San Quentin State Prison visible on the opposite side of the bay. The prison composes the background and is placed in the center right of the painting, the water in the bay and a small sailboat compose the middle ground, and the coastline composes the foreground and is placed on the left side of the painting. The prison is very small in scale compared to the coastline, to create the illusion of distance between the two, and the viewer’s perspective is that of standing on the coastline opposite the prison. The prison and the sailboat are the only two man-made objects in the painting. The coastline depicted is a small and rounded beach. Large tan and brown boulders with sage green and brown plant-life growing on them are placed on the opposite side of the small beach from the viewer’s perspective, and partially obstruct the view of

These works were beautiful, but some of them were very attractive to author. Therefore, it was difficult to choose just one artifact to describe. It took some times, but finally one decided a painting. This picture was used for the summer 2017 pamphlet cover. This painting is untitled (Woman on Beach) by David Burliuk. He painted it in 1945. In addition, the painter used the watercolor on paper; the paper's size is 14 3/4 x 11 1/4 in. David used many dark colors such as indigo, gray, and black. The woman in the painting, she looks like tanned or Native American. David Burliuk was a futurist. The futurism was started from the early 20th century. During this time period, the technology was developed and people started to accept it. And then, the futurists tried to express the motion and its after-image. According to drawer's background, by one's perception, there is a woman who is dancing on the beach. She is moving her arms up and down. It seems like, David tried to draw a woman's motion. Additionally, the woman is wearing like a primate person, who lived between 1400 to 1800BC. Furthermore, the beach where she stands, it looks like she is in the island. The image of the island and beach is somewhere to relax and enjoy. Moreover, the painter didn't name his figure. One thinks, the painter may wanted the viewers see the picture and imagine the freedom of the movement and named it themselves, instead of stay in the tunnel vision. On the other hand, simply the artist didn't want to title it. Most of the artists are unique and odd. They have their own world and vision; they are sensitive and emotional, difficult to

The first piece, “A Choppy Estuary,” created by Hulk Abraham, was created with the use of wet media, this one being painted with oil paints. The picture consists of four ships, clouds, and some people on nearby land. It uses various colors, with major focus on various reds and blues, to place emphasis on the ship on the front right of the piece.

Looking at this painting instills in one a feeling of an almost serious sort of serenity. With the dark blue in the background gives the work an almost mysterious undertone, possibly portraying how life in the ocean is an unknown and often scary ordeal for the creatures that inhabit it. The viewer is struck with a sense of awe at the simplicity of the overall

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

Francesco used a style that I really enjoy, it is called pittura di tocco and it is a style known for its small dotting in the art work and it's small but clean brush strokes. It's a style that not many artist can lock down it is very very advanced. He started in venice italy when he was passed down a shop from his father who was deceased and he worked alongside his brother to make and sell hand made paintings. His paintings are beautiful painting like the venetian capriccio which is a landscape painting of the molo towards santa Maria. He was born october 1712 and when his father passed away in the year 1716 and that's when he had the shop passed down to him, he was only 4 when the shop was handed down to him and his brother. He worked with

Gentle had to focus carefully on his paint distribution so it would look completely flat and even throughout. Gentle paid careful attention to the piece so that it would have no missing paint or higher surfaces. He etched out this idea on a piece of mesh so that only specific parts would let paint through when he wanted them to. While doing this piece he definitely had patience, on the paper description on the wall of the museum it said “he was faithful” which means he took his time and made it perfect.

As much as the similarities between Currier & Ives’ painting and these three painting, I tend to see the differences between them. First, I see that the people in the three paintings are not so fortunate such as what is illustrated in Currier & Ives’ and it is clear from how their dress. In Currier & Ives’, the man and the woman in the central of this painting dress in a more “typical American” way than these three painting. What I mean by that is the man and the woman in Currier & Ives’ dress in what people normally would see in high social status. Another reason why these three painting illustrates people who are not fortunate as Currier and Ives’ is that the home that each painting depicted. The house in Currier & Ives’ look more pleasant

Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso were both profoundly influenced by the art of Paul Cézanne, somewhat ironically since the latter is reported to have been quite uncertain of his artistic contributions and anxious about his legacies (Merleau-Ponty, 1945). Picasso described Cézanne as “my one and only master” ; while Matisse noted that “it is undoubtedly to Cézanne that I owe the most” .
