Romanticism In Morden Laura Knight : A Life

The Appleton Museum of Art holds many exhibits showing how art changes between time eras and places. The artworks in these exhibits have a variety of perspectives, and art styles. Each piece holds their own story within the composition, style, and craftsmanship. I picked two different artworks the painting Tricoteuse (The Knitter) by the French painter William Adolphe Bouguereau, and the painting Daphnis and Chole by the American painter Elizabeth Jane Gardner.

Historical Literature has always been a way for people to connect to the past. Students rely on the educational system in order to teach about historical events and present factual data. Ronald Takaki, author of A Different Mirror, triumphs over a history textbook`s narrative by adding the perspectives and personal information from minority groups to further educate his readers. While this text is pretty extensive with detail and memoirs of historical figures, Ireland`s Hunger Museum has reinforced Takaki`s historical details through artwork. As an active member in the community, my experience of the museum has given a personal and deeper connection to the past than the text. As a student of civics, I shared my responses to the artwork using

Romanticism and The post impressionism era are two major periods on the time line of art history. Different forms of art including paintings, music, and architecture showed tremendous growth, and ended up making history. This essay compares and contrasts pieces of work such as Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night and Joseph Mallord William Turner’s The Slave Ship. These two pieces both represent their own individual time periods, yet have similar characteristics. Both of these paintings have a way of uncovering a story without using a single word.

In eight quasi-connected stories, Susan Vreeland delivers a fictional lesson on aesthetics. Set amidst human sorrow and historic chaos, the narrative follows an imagined Vermeer painting from the present day through 330 years of its provenance--beginning with its willful destruction in the 1990s and concluding with its inspired creation in the 1660s:

The romantic era was a time in history that had altered how people viewed art, literature, and music, having its own significant style. Many people were known throughout the world for their contributions to the romantic era. Robert Scott Duncanson and Mary Edmonia Lewis were two important artists of the romantic era. The first American artist who will be spoken about is, Robert Scott Duncanson. Duncanson was a self-taught African American painter that was known mainly for his landscape paintings, but also for his portraits and murals. The following artist who will be spoken about Mary Edmonia Lewis. Lewis was known as the first “colored sculptor” in her time. In this paper, it will be discussed how these two artists overcame many obstacles

An artist's job is to interpret, and express the aspects of life in a creative fashion. War has played a big part in shaping our human history, and many artists have portrayed their feelings about art through paintings, and even monuments. Whether it be to show; the joy of victory, the sorrow of defeat, or to educate the public on the gory realities of war. Art about war can also show us a great amount of history of the kinds of weapons that were used at the time. It is necessary for artists to interpret, and criticize all aspects of life; even ones as tragic as war, It can make the public more aware of what goes on in times of war.

Laura was born in 1867 to Charles and Caroline Ingalls. When she was young, her family often moved from place to place. They moved from Wisconsin to Kansas, Wisconsin to Walnut Grove, Minnesota, to Burr Oak Iowa, back to Walnut Grove, then settling in DeSmet, South Dakota. Since they did this, Laura and her sisters mainly taught themselves. Laura eventually decided to become a teacher, and passed a teaching test at the age of 15. She decided to teach in a small schoolhouse 12 miles from her parents’ home, so her parents had Almanzo Wilder pick Laura up every day. They soon fell in love. They got married on August 29, 1885. In 1886, Laura had a daughter named Rose. She had a son in 1889, who died at only nine months old. Her husband got diphtheria,

Have you ever looked at a piece of art and wondered how it could be based on real life, because it was just so beautiful? Well Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun was able to paint in such new and exciting ways; people were left wondering just this. Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun was a woman of many talents. In her life time she came up with new ways of painting, revolutionized fashion in France, and overcame any prejudice thinking because she was a woman. Before dying at the age of eighty-seven, she had gained the respect of women and men all across the world. Being a female artist in the eighteenth century was not easy, especially when you had to keep a career and your life together during the

The secrets of the past have a way of shaping many lives. Griffin`s essay focuses on the idea of secrets by using various techniques to address this topic. Her essay uses an objective and indirect approach to guide the reader to translate the moments she records. Griffin does this by interviewing people to discover the past, providing descriptive reports of illustrations to promote a visual perspective, and ultimately the paintings are used to make the reader analyze their purpose. These methods are valuable because it promotes critical thinking and different points of views to tell the story.

Laura Ingalls Wilder was born February 7, 1867 in Pepin County, Wisconsin to pioneers Charles and Caroline Ingalls. She was the second of five children. She had three sisters, Mary, Grace, and Carrie, and a brother, Charles that died when he was 9 months old. As a child, she moved quite often as settlers did. The family lived in Wisconsin, Kansas, Walnut Grove, Minnesota, Burr Oak, Iowa, and De Smet, South Dakota. With moving so often, Laura rarely attended school, she learned from her sisters and by teaching herself. At 15, in an attempt to help earn money, she got her teaching certificate and went to teach at a school, Boochie School in South Dakota. Laura taught for 3 years before marrying Almonzo

Though World War II was awful in every respect, and it led to the destruction of many priceless works of art, there are some examples of beauty emerging form the chaos. One such example come from the work Dean Keller. Keller was one of many “monuments men” who were given the daunting task of the preservation of art during the war. The monuments men had little resources yet they prevailed in their efforts of protecting much of the art at risk during the war. The thought that the allies had the forethought to take earnest efforts to respect the history and culture that comes from these great European works of art, is a glimpse of the beauty that emerged during this time of turmoil. At the end of the war, Dean Keller led the Americans in returning the art they had gathered for protection. This was received by great crowds of emotional Florentine’s grateful for the return of their stolen history. This scene of compassion and gratitude

One of the first times a reader can visualize Laura as a tomboy is in the book Little House in the Big Woods. The scene is set that Laura, Mary and Pa are playing an outdoor game. This particular game calls for the players to be rugged and courageous. At this point, it is clear to a reader that Laura and Mary are a representation of two different types of a female character. The game calls for a chase to begin and “with a wild leap and a scramble she went over the woodbox” dragging her sister, Mary, with her to safety.

A review of the world’s great artists conjures familiar images: Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel; Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night; Pablo Picasso’s The Tragedy. There are many more, of course: Monet, Moya, Warhol, Rembrandt, Kandinsky. What is immediately noticeable, however, upon any brief study of art, is the significant absence of women as heralded artists—not only in our ancient pasts, but even today, amongst valiant efforts for gender equality.

World War I was a war that shocked the world and brought about new emotions that created a large wave of “-isms” as well as the “lost generation” of writers. Modern art was catalyzed by World War I and without a thorough study of the various forms of art that resulted from it, modern art and the tremendous effect that World War I had on the people of the world cannot be fully understood. This historical investigation will cover a few aspects of the art that resulted from World War I so that a general idea of the emotions shared by the people of the world can be known. A few paintings that represent specific movements will be studied to understand the artistic movement. A number of museum exhibitions will be studied along with government websites, databases, and museum websites, especially from the Museum of Modern Art.
