Rest Energy (Fig. 5: Painting Analysis

Last Sunday, I went to the Museum of Fine Arts and walked through the marble corridors in pursuit of Percy’s “it.” I was accompanied by a friend who was in pursuit of taking candid photos. I came in with a set of expectations as Percy writes, “the sightseer measures his satisfaction by the degree to which the [museum] conforms to the preformed complex” (473). When I entered the museum, the quietude of the atmosphere caused me to become drowsy and I quickly looked for the café to drink coffee. Feeling energized, I wandered aimlessly for close to an hour, amazed by the museum’s architecture and rustic paintings displayed. However, being surrounded by great artistic pieces of history, I did not gain the sense of being enriched or enlightened. Due to the nature of the assignment, I was not nearly as interested and felt that I could have been lost in the moment if I had entered on my own free will. That was until I stumbled upon the “Showdown! Kuniyoshi vs. Kunisada” art

The first work of art, illustrated by Kehinde Wiley, appears to give a realistic feel to the audience. As the painting of the man, the horse, and the sword appears as neither abstract, nor nonobjective. I can see that the painting is oil on canvas. In the background of his painting, it is dark red at the top, and pink towards the middle of the background, with a shade of white just above the neutral scheme of different brown shades representing the muddy ground. The white in the background probably represents the horizon. If you zoom in very, very closely, you can see what looks like a military cannon towards the right side of the painting, emphasizing the environment of a battle soldier. The horse is painted neutrally as well, white,

The lines within the painting appear to be horizontal strokes resulting in a calm, quiet, and lonely theme. The texture of this work of art appears to be somewhat rough yet at the same time has a sense of smoothness to it. The painting consists of a thick application of paint or Impasto. The medium of this work is oil on canvas. As for linear perspective, the Horizontal line could be considered to be the drug store itself as that is the middle ground between the street pavement and the apartment building above the store. This too can be considered the focal point of the oil canvas painting. Furthermore, the vanishing point in the painting is not as clearly depicted but it could possibly be either the drapes within the window or the store window label “Ex-Lax”.

Marina trusted in her work, her art, and it allowed her to use her body as the canvas. To expose the energy and limits of the human mind. Another artist, Yoko Ono, did a piece 10 years earlier that was fairly similar to Rhythm 0. Yoko Ono did a nine-minute video called Cut Piece where she sat on stage and allowed her viewers to use scissors to cut pieces of her clothing off. The power is then given to the audience rather than the artist and the artist’s body becomes the canvas. Just like Marinas’ performance, Yoko Ono's’ audience started to get more and more aggressive about cutting her clothes off, leaving her fully exposed.

Allowing her viewers to a part of her pieces has always made her stand out as a performance artist, whether they knew they were a part of the piece or not. The House with the Ocean view (Fig.3) was performed at the Sean Kelly Gallery for 12 continuous days. It was considering a “living installation” because the gallery became her living quarters. The audience becomes the ocean for The House with the Ocean view. The living quarters consisted of three units, a bedroom, a living room, and a bathroom. She interrupts her fasting and meditation only to use the bathroom. To be a part of the performance, Marina expects the audience to respect her by remaining silent, creating a connection through energy, and to use the telescope that was provided.

Stamp the drywall canvas with your mind. - Make it feel your lust for creation in the form of destruction.

Marina Abramovic is known for completely excluding using paint and canvas for her art. She is a performance artist, Marina uses her body as the medium between her and the audience. In her piece “The Artist is Present”, she sits with hundreds of people for several months without showing any emotion. Marina is simply present at the moment she is sitting with different people, while the person sitting shows tremendous feelings towards Marina. Marina has a gift of making people think she is in love with them. Her fans that were able to sit with her explain their time with Marina as life changing. She is the greatest living performance artist and that is why she is why she will be remembered as the grandmother of performance

Women are fertile brings, they were made in this world with the gift to reproduce but in societies like China and India this gift has been from the mothers who have female children. Hope II has illustrated the feelings of a mother losing her child by using symbolic depictions of death. Through the use of colors, the painting has given optimism and faith to the mothers and to women everywhere who live in fear and that this evil behavior will hopefully be demolished in the future. By composing all the figures into the decorative robe in the center, the painting has given the viewers a sense of harmony and attachment within the women in this society, their experience become similar and they become one. In a world filled with hate, these women

In 2005(?), after parting ways with Ulay both romantically and artistically, Marina Abramovic started a new group of work Seven Easy Piece. In this work she mostly reenacted performances both hers and other artists’ (Marina Abramovic, Kristine Stiles, Klaus Biesenbach, Chrissie Iles). This decision shows Abramovic desire to find herself a new voice by using those of others. Contrary to her past work she is not the creator but the actor in those performances. The choice to reanact her piece Thomas Lips whom she created before meeting Ulay is particularly interesting as it express the desire to trace back who she was before her heavily emotional collaboration.

Marina Abramovic is a great artist who has changed the way that we look at modern art. She has overcome many obstacles and made some choices that have caused conflicts in the world of modern art. Abramovic was known to cause conflicts among conversations when it came to topics in Art. She’s known to speak her mind which causes issues within the public. The Artist is Present is an HBO documentary that highlights some of Abramovic’s works. The documentary follows her journey in art and proved how she had managed to change the view of how people looked at performance art. She created unique performances that helped to show how humans respond to no boundaries, or how men and women interact. She is a daring artist and has created incredibly powerful

Marina and Ulay’s relationship was based on love for each other as well as love for art and the concept of it

In today's discussion class, Jingyi tells a lot about the history of the world art and the appreciation of art history, which makes me feel the great content of the history of the world. In the summer of AH-2130 class I feel the charm of the history of the world art, in this semester I still feel the infinite charm of art. At the beginning of the discussion class, she told the French Ambassadors The case, which was the beginning of a discussion, and I also recorded information about the work, like the French Ambassadors by Hans Holbein. The younger. 1533/ Oil on wood panel. National Geally. After a detailed introduction, she told us how to look at art. I think this is a very good convergence process, and then she told about the formal analysis

Performance Art transforms art from something a person views, in to something one can be a part of. One part of Performance Art is Body Art, where the artist uses the body to convey the message of their work. Marina Abramovic is a Performance artist who makes Body Art where she pushes herself to the limits, testing her endurance. Abramovic’s prolific creations, including Rhythm 0 and The Artist is Present force people out of their comfort zones and to think critically about the world around them. By analyzing Rhythm 0 and The Artist is Present it becomes clear that Abramovic can make a big statement with her work.
