Robert Cornelius From 1839: Self Portrait

TXT- Developing portraits using daguerreotypes was long process because the sun exposure would take an impact on the people from the light shining directly towards their faces and keep time with a stop watch. This process relied on the sunlight for exposure and if there was cloudy days then it would take even longer while the subject is experiencing uncomfortable stress. Page 25

Vincent Willem van Gogh is considered as one of the most renowned artist/painter in history, but like many others, his legacy and talent was brought to light after his death. While suffering from mental illness and poverty throughout his life, he was still able to capture the essence of beauty and color through his expressionistic, abstract technique as well as influence in Japanese art. His works accumulate to 2,100, consisting of 860 oil paintings, and more than 1,300 watercolor, drawings, and sketches. Van Gogh, being a post-impressionist artist, is stated to be the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt. Van Gogh’s work is now recognized by many; from his art being sold for little to nothing, is now sold for millions.

Around 1890, an artist by the name of Vincent Van Gogh who present day is one of the most renowned artists created magnificent, yet mysterious drawings which he started with just a pencil. From his pencil drawings with lines and dashes to the beautiful variations with using paint, Vincent was a genius, but was never congratulated on his work until later. Even as he was pronounced crazy, he could still create beautiful works of art which shows how even a flower can bloom in a dark forest. As his life was slowly being painted on canvas from the years of solitude and psychiatric problems he finally killed himself which a couple years later brought up his artwork through his own suicide.

Vincent Van Gogh Madison Dunham You’re going insane. Eating paint as if it is food because you spent your weekly earnings on new art supplies without the thought of food. It drives you crazy, but you keep on painting. Almost 900 paintings before you commit suicide and only manage to sell 1.

Vincent Willem Van Gogh was a Dutchman born on March 30, 1853 in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands. The Starry Night is one of Van Gogh’s famous paintings in the world. It was believed that his painting was the view from his bedroom window. After a petition was signed saying Vincent Van Gogh was dangerous, they moved him to an asylum. He lived in a hospital where he suffered occasional relapse into delusions. While he was there, he was able to read, paint and withdraw from his room. As he was going through depression, Van Gogh then began to have hallucinations and even have thoughts of suicide. His art helped him stay emotionally balanced. He then started to paint The Starry Night, and used dark colors. For example, in the painting he clearly paints all the buildings dark and black and paints the stars and the moon brighter to make it stand out more. In his painting, he included a cypress tree which is usually found in cemeteries and represent mourning. There were rumors about his death, saying he had died because his illness

Since photography’s invention in 1839, it has had an intimate relationship with land and nature, and a favorite of photographers. Early photographers set a precedent for bringing the world up close to far off lands and undiscovered wildlife and sated society’s romantic appetite for the unknown. Their photographs represented a window to the world and preserved picturesque scenes for everyone’s delight. It is here I explore the beginnings of photography’s relationship for preservation and protection for these wonders and the focus of this chapter. This chapter starts with the painter’s desire to precisely capture details of subject matter, including the natural world. Then, I discuss how photography gained popularity for its detail and precision

Henry Peach Robinson was an English Pictorialist photographer who was best known for his methods of combination printing. Robinson was a trained artist as a painter and a print maker. In 1852, Robinson considered photography to be his full time profession.

It’s hard to come up with one overarching definition of genius as there are many different types of geniuses and intelligences. There can be intellectual geniuses, such as Neil deGresse Tyson, musical geniuses, such as Mozart, or even kinesthetic geniuses, such as Michael Phelps. To be a genius one must excel and be influential in their particular type of intelligence. A genius should also be remembered for their work. Many people could fit my definition of intelligence but one person that really exemplifies this definition is Vincent van Gogh.

Many discover life in the paintings of a dead artist in the most miniscule details: the number of colours used in a painting, the size of a flower, or the expression of a model. Looking back, one can remember how middle school art teachers would indulge our imaginations with lectures on the curiously complex intentions behind every colourful stroke of the painters brush. However, letters exchanged between artist reveal the truth behind not only the intentions of an artist but also the tactics used to create the sacrosanct works of art produced by one. Currently there are 844 surviving Vincent van Gogh letters, over 900 paintings, and over 1100 drawings. One man's life has been compiled into a medium sized pile of canvas, wood, and paper,

Directly after his death, the first bibliography for Vincent Van Gogh was written, by Emile Bernard, who was a painter and friend of Vincent’s. It was three pages long and discussed his aspirations as well as his love for his brother Theo. Emile Bernard continued to celebrate Vincent’s life by later publishing some of the letters he had written. Vincent’s sister Elisabeth later published a booklet of poetry detailing his life. This brought forth the attention of many others who knew Van Gogh to then write about him as well. Later, in the Municipal Museum in Amsterdam, hundreds of his drawings and paintings were displayed. After 1914, many publications of letters, art, and biographies were published in remembrance of Vincent Van Gogh’s work

Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter that lived through the Baroque era along with the dutch holden age. He wasn’t exactly wealthy and produced very few paintings. For the most part Vermeer painted domestic interior scenes. His works are largely genre pieces and portraits and his subjects were usually middle-class 17th century Dutch society, anywhere from a milkmaid to higher-class merchantmen. Besides this, he also painted with religious, poetical, musical, and scientific elements. He worked with very expensive pigments and was known was his use of light in his work. He also used many earth colors to portray a warm light within the paintings interior. He was inspired by Leonardo DaVinci’s observation that the surface of an object takes the

Vincent van Gogh is one of the most celebrated, renowned, and mysterious artists in the world today. Although he was an artist for the majority of his life he achieved almost all of his fame posthumously. This fame is not due exclusively to his remarkable artwork, as his life history, rife with mental illness, fascinating stories, and utter woe, contributes immensely to his eminence. When people pay tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for one piece, they are not just buying mere oil on canvas. They are buying the man behind the painting, the history and experiences that brought him to want to express the human condition in every brushstroke. Unfortunately his life has been romanticized to the point where fact blurs with fiction which overshadows the actual artwork. Therefore if I could have dinner with van Gogh I would love to learn about the true van Gogh from himself.

Robert Suderburg studied composition with Paul Fetler at the University of Minnesota and Richard Donovan at the Yale School of Music. As a conductor and pianist, he was very active in the performance of new works. From 1985 to his retirement in 2001, he taught at Williams College in Massachusetts.

Chamber Music VIII is one of two works for solo trumpet and piano. This piece was commissioned by the International Trumpet Guild and premiered by Anthony Plog in 1988. Many of Suderburg’s early works were serial, but he would eventually revert

The life of Albrecht Durer is described as that of a person who spent it on influencing art, culture and society during the Northern Renaissance. During his time, he represented and witnessed some of the most momentous events in the modern European history, including both cultural and religious dimensions of the religious humanist movement1. He conceptualized the movement of Martin Luther as part of the larger matrix of religious and theological reforms that were grounded in the humanistic study of Christianity. Since he was the first artist in the north that attempted to change the medieval style of religious devotions to reflect new Renaissance styles and concerns, he was able to give a visual touch to a few significant changes in the culture of Christianity. It is significant to understand the complex dimensions of the Northern Renaissance through Albrecht Durer’s art as reflected in his self-portraits.
