Representation Of Art In Chaim Soutine's 'Carcass Of Beef'

Romare Bearden’s art exhibition “Vision and Activism” portrayed his perception of society and the need to put in motion social change. The Black History Museum is where I observed his art collection. The set up of the pieces were by category and was not congested because there was a moderate amount of space between each piece. For first impressions the two art pieces titled “Noah and the Seventh Day (Prevalence of ritual series)” and “The Family” is highly detailed and the use of tone exhibits dramatic traits in the first piece while the second piece has tranquility. The subject matter for “Noah and the Seventh Day” is culture and for “The Family” is a focus on African American lifestyle. Intently scrutinizing “Noah and The Seventh Day” the setting is outside among the sea and animals are on a boat. The color is subtle, slightly vibrant, and uses cool tertiary colors. The texture has a grainy and hard effect as if he stippled using a paint brush. The shapes are organic but the water had strong emphasis where the lines gradually got deeper and broader away from the horizon. On the contrary, “The Family” setting took place inside of a house with women gathered at the table preparing food. The colors are subtle, earthy, and include warm tertiary colors. The background texture has a fine and smooth appearance. He included recognizable shapes such as cylinders, rectangles, and squares. By Bearden applying cross contour, pointillism, and cross

Like the painting, the sketch exhibits a number of West 's finest imaging and clearly and convincingly depicts all of the feeling of a frightful scene. The larger oil on canvas work isn 't one portrait, but rather, a

Hello Aurelia, the piece of art you chose to review is eye catching. Immediately my eyes were drawn to it because of the bright and bold colors that Romare Bearden used. When viewing this painting I feel alive, alert, and happy. The reason I feel this way is because of how the artist brings bright colors and smooth yet edgy shapes into his painting. The background does seem to have a moving effect. I actually did not notice that until you had pointed it out. Although the human figures in this painting are not completely realistic. It does give the audience the sense or feeling of the painting “coming to life.” I think you did a good job on explain this piece of art created by Romare Bearden. I also enjoyed learning that you like Jazz music.

A man stands before a butchered carcass, spilling velvet ichor onto his work boots. When you read this what do you imagine? Is the setting a dark and eerie basement or the shed in the backyard? Are the remains from a deer, a pig, a dog, or a human? Why does it matter? What is the difference?

​In conducting a rhetorical analysis of the two articles, "Joel Salatin: How to Eat Animals and Respect Them, Too" by Madeline Ostrander and "Humane Meat? No Such Thing" by Sunaura Taylor, both articles stand in stark contrast in terms of the viewpoints of meat that they present. In order to gain a better understanding of these viewpoints, it's important to understand the persuasive techniques that both authors use in the article for the reader. More specifically, the ethos, pathos, and logos that they employ, as well the way in which the evidence and support is presented will further elucidate upon the arguments that appear in both articles.

Frans Snyders created the painting Still Life with Dead Game, Fruits, and Vegetables in a Market, 1614. At first glance, the painting depicts a horde of dead animals on top of a table, morbidly displayed. With the abundance of food placed on the table, the small section of the painting with the child pickpocketing creates a sense of enragement in the viewers. The animals set on the table such as the swan and the hog notify the readers that these animals are not for common people, but for the wealthy. Setting the painting before a fancy dinner, and in the process before has the viewers infer of the good life of those eating the animals but the struggle of the man and the boy.

Namit Arora’s article On Eating Animals captures the horrors of the meat industry. Arora is a true animal activist who describes instances in which cows try to escape slaughterhouses, but they are usually recaptured and killed. Arora portrays these events and statistics through a reprimanding and critical tone. This tone appeals to the audience’s feelings of guilt about the purchase of meat wherein the inhumane killing of farm animals takes place. He incites guilt in order to reveal the twisted system that Americans call the meat industry.

The painting has human-like figures melting in sickly yellow-green piles. These figures are hanging off railings and tables, with one large pile gathered around a waitress serving drinks. The top third of the painting shows a man preparing drinks behind the bar as two patrons yell at him. This lends the painting a very bottom-heavy apperence. Both the waitress and the bartender are painted in a subdued yellow with exhausted looks on their faces. This painting is showing the audience that this group of people have spoiled each other and become a rotting mess of lewd behavior. That people who weren’t intoxicated wouldn’t be so rude and inappropriate to each other, the figures are pulling other’s shirts and vomiting on each other. However, the wait staff contrasts this, they are shown in almost heavenly way. The bartender is shown in a warmly lit background with bottles that are serene and beautiful looking. Especially when compared to the green figures on the floor, some of which are hanging on to the railing, trying to get to the bar. This could lead the audience to believe that bar and wait staff are considered pure in a room of melting men and

The artist lecture that I went to was a session of colloquium that centered around the art of three graduate students. Matthew Mauk, the artist I focused on, is a graduate student at UW-Madison that focuses on metalworking. He began as a tattoo artist with a background in drawing and working on silicon. Today, he has moved on to metal sculptures and ornamental objects. Inspired by the religious iconography of Caravaggio and how his paintings contain hidden propaganda, Mauk creates intricate metal pieces masked with subliminal messages. Through his art Mauk tries to rebel against social standards and the rules many places in society has established. For his talk, he discussed his MFA Exhibition. In the show, the metalwork is colorful, intricate,

Almost every human being is afraid of the idea of death and is shown clearly in the painting. The hooded mask man or creature could possibly be a representation of death because of the colors in the painting and the reaction of the group of men. Not only is there a portrayal of death, but there is possibly a portray of man. It is shown in the leader of the group of men, who is dressed different than the rest of the others. He is the first one to scatter since he is afraid of death. Contrary to popular belief, the leader is suppose to be the one who fights off all evil but is doing the exact opposite in the painting. He has trampled over his men in order to save himself. I find myself thinking of death and what a terrifying idea it is to think that no matter how fast or far we try to run away from the incident, death is inevitable. The artists uses dark colors to represent a dark time in life. The scratched up lines can possibly represent that nothing is perfect, not even drawing straight lines or coloring in the lines. I appreciate the artists honestly but dislike how the painting leads me to think about death and responding to the actions of the

The inspiration for the piece was due to the chaotic nature of the lines to create a creature that could inflict terror to the audience. The first image that kept invading my mind was the hair, I wanted to create a creature with that element. Since I was so obsessed with the idea of hair I started to look into horror icons that have inflicted fear on me since I was a child. The first creature that successfully inflicted terror on me was The Grudge because of how she presented herself by making disturbing sounds because her neck was broken, and how it moved about in a distorted manner; broken bones. Unfortunately, the creature in The Grudge was not enough to show what I had imagined my creature to look like because it's always dressed in a white

Gray’s poem ‘Meatworks’ explores a personas inner battle with their own morals. It shows the power of guilt, it being a strong force at play. The gory visual imagery and sensory imagery highlight the confronting events at the meatworks. Although the poem centres its self around a grim environment, the persona embarks on a discovery that proves to be insightful. The poem does not condemn the practices outright, rather an individual’s struggle to accept the part they’ve played and the guilt which follows.

Art is something that can be described and expressed in several different ways to communicate ideas and emotions through visualizations. Through art we are able to see the world like never before. It inspires and motivates us to be creative. We are able to think further and beyond. In addition, art gives us the ability to understand what artists are trying to display and the messages they are trying to convey through their works. Art can be found anywhere and created by anyone (Dewitte, Larmann, and Shields 29-30).

When I saw the painting for the first time it grabbed my attention. At first I thought it was the beautiful colors that attracted me to the painting, but it was more. In the picture the shadowy men look scared. They looked as though they were trying to run away from something and this lake that forms into this river that is surrounded by tall grass is the way out, or at least a place to hide until the coast is clear. During that time in my life I felt

I went to The Art Institute of Chicago on a Thursday when it was free for Illinois resident and when there were different exhibitions going on. There was long line at the entrance near the museum at 6pm in the evening. I went alone because I thought I can have better focus on picking a good art work. I was ready to go through all the magnificent paintings for my art museum paper. As I walked through the museum, there were colorful Indian Modern art exhibited for the occasion. They were big and vibrant. The was also a special exhibition of Tarsila Do Amaral, one of the leading Latin American Modernist artist who paint like Cubism, Futurism and expressionism. Her artworks were childlike in terms of the painting style of objects and people. I was most fond of the modernist and contemporary part of the gallery with painters like Salvador Dali and Francis Bacon. I was fascinated with Salvador Dali’s Venus de Milo with Drawers. The drawers unnaturalistically located on a human body was intriguing. The depth of the human mind and subconsciousness are creatively represented by these drawers on Venus de Milo. Francis bacon’s work Figure with meat was not bad either. Figure with Meat is a disturbing depiction of Pope Innocent X sat in front of a cow carcass cut lengthways in half. (Gould) Like his other painting, the theme is dark and twisted. The carcass is included serve as a direct reminder that death will be at the end await
