Research Paper On Francisco Goya

Dali employs a “concrete irrationality” surrealist style giving us the illusion of realism. Design is precise, using symmetrical perspective employing a geometrical figure’s composition. The painting is well balanced. Presence of the light coming from the northeast gives a sense of a natural landscape. The light and shadow relationship “pops the elements out” and creates contrast. The pain of war is expressed by the grotesque mutating human body ripping itself apart with the anguishing facial expression.

The art of Fernando Botero is widely known, revered, paraphrased, imitated and copied, For many, his characteristic rounded, sensuous forms of the human figure, animals, still lifes and landscapes represent the most easily identifiable examples of the modern art of Latin America. For others, he is a cultural hero.To travel with Botero in his native Colombia is to come to realize that he is often seen less as an artist and more as a popular cult figure. In his native Medellín he is mobbed by people wanting to see him, touch him or have him sign his name to whatever substance they happen to be carrying. On the other hand, Botero's work has been discredited by those theorists of modern art whose tastes are dictated more

As Pablo Picasso once said, “Painting is a blind man’s profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.” Picasso’s passion for art started at a young age, getting his passion for art from his father. Pablo Picasso is known for the innovative techniques he introduced to the art world. Each being influenced from his life around him, to modifications in the colors he utilized, or transitioning to an unorthodox style of painting, and even practicing printmaking.

In this selection of the book, Gitlin discusses a seventeenth-century Dutch painter by the name of Vermeer. Vermeer was known for being able to”fr[ee]ze instants, but instants that spoke of the relative constancy of the world in which his subjects lived” (Gitlin 558). People collected Vermeer’s paintings for display throughout their homes. Gitlin sees Vermeer as the seventeenth-century version of the media. In that time, the images painted were relative to the people’s era and private world. In today’s world Vermeer would be the equivalent to a celebrity photographer or movie director. If Vermeer, or any other artist of his time, were to see today’s households, they would find that the once private space inside the home is now much more dominated by images of the outside world than what would have been possible in the 1600’s.

However, Wright (1993, p.51) had written that Rubens’s is more horrific as viewer’s sympathy is straight drop on the innocent baby yet to be eaten. There is also another difference spotted. Rubens’s painted an innocent child whereas Goya painted a cadaver that looked like a younger adult. In Goya’s painting, the cadaver was in long legged, round buttocks and wide hips. The gender of the young adult is remained unknown as there is headless and not facing to us. But some experts suggested that the cadaver was a female young adult due to Goya’s later love life.

Although Edward Burtynsky’s photography has often been analyzed in relation to the sublime, this aesthetic framework does not account for all that his photography attempts to accomplish. In this paper I will first briefly assess some of recent writing that has positioned Burtynsky’s work in relation to different characterizations of the sublime, such as the toxic sublime. I will then analyze the historical underpinnings of what constitutes the sublime and its concurrent affects. Finally, I will examine why viewing the photographs of Oil solely in relation to the sublime is problematic.

As a result of the revolt, eighty peasants were gathered together and executed during the pre-dawn hours of May third. Despite the overwhelming defeat of the revolt, the Spanish people were not daunted. In the countryside, during the next six years, the first guerilla warfare was waged. Eventually Napoleon and his troops were forced from Spain, but with them left their liberal reforms (Tone 49). Goya had been pleased with the liberal reforms and other changes that Napoleon had instituted in Spain, but was completely disgusted with what had happened during the war. He felt that nothing lasting had been accomplished, while many had suffered and died as a result of the war.

His art represented the reaction against previous conceptions of art and the desire for a new form of expression. In order to understand the scope of Goya's art, and to appreciate the principles which governed his development and tremendous versatility, it is essential to realize that his work extended over a period of more than 60 years.

Francisco de la Goya was a painter that is considered one of the most important Spanish painters in the late 18th and early 19th centries. His paintings are very famous and vary in different styles. Goya traveled to different places in Europe to broaden his understanding of art, did several differents styles of art, and is most famous for the art he did depicting the French Invasion.

A great artist once wrote, “If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced”. This artist was Vincent van Gogh, soon to be an appraised artist known all around the world for his works, such as Starry Night. He is one of the very first artists of the post-impressionist style than is now adored in every continent. However, there is much more to the man than one painting. Creating a full timeline that stretches beyond Gogh’s life, this paper will discuss the life of Vincent van Gogh and the impression he made on the world.

It should come as no surprise that Chagoya’s style was heavily influenced by the late eighteenth century artist. In his Met featurette, Chagoya mentions that he has a background in political economy that has inspired him to add social commentary to his art. This inspiration original stemmed from his love for Francisco Goya’s art pieces, especially his series of sketches titled, Los Caprichos. He mentions how Goya’s art is like “a window to the world of the late 1700’s” (Chagoya, “The Artist Project”). What is so magical about these sketches though is that the sketches are not representative of a specific time or place which allows the messages conveyed to still ring true. The figures in his sketches are metaphorical and represent themes such as greed, vanity, and fear. Chagoya believes that we are meant to see a piece of ourselves reflected in these figures but the dark and humorous style of the sketches keep the message from damning us. His overall message in this series seems to be that we, as humans, shouldn’t aim to appear good but we should instead make the world a better experience for

. I will provide examples and analyses of those who judge this composition on an aesthetic basis and those that judge it on its moral tones and their purpose behind these choices. Depending on what side an academic falls, there is also controversy for what this means for the physical painting; is it then historically important but aesthetically immoral in modern society? Is the narrative so complex that it needs further research and appreciation? I will attempt to answer, or provide options, for not only what the potential moral tone of the painting is, but also what the composition means for future viewings.

“Saturn Devouring His Children” is the boldest painting of the group. Goya portrays a grim voracious giant with predatory, lunatic eyes stuffing his son’s torn, headless body into his maw, a visual equivalent of torture and murder, set against the darkness which accentuates the mood of despair to illustrate his honest views of humanity during a turbulent time.

Goya was an artist who made etchings called The Disasters Of War. These etchings showed the horrible things that were done by Napoleon's soldiers. They were made in order to shock the viewer and make them feel the pain of what happened. These sketches did not go in narrative order or show exact details of an event, they were just images showing that bad things like that happen during war. Normal captions have dates and places written which detach the viewer from the pain of the picture. On his sketches,
