Roy Acuff Postage Stamp Essay

The artwork that I am analyzing today is Flowers by Andy Warhol. The work was produced in 1964 and is found in the Guggenheim New York. The subject of the work is a quartet of hibiscus flowers that Andy photographed. I believe that the work has a color, space, and texture that make it unique even among other Warhols. I also believe that this work shows a mastery of the Compare and Contrast Universal Principle of design. The work also breaks the rules of design in that it blatantly defies the Rule of Thirds and Balance. Finally, I will be discussing the composition oh the work.

During my visit to Balboa Park’s San Diego Museum of Art, I was able to visit many diverse exhibitions that allowed me to explore the broader definition of art. Among the medieval, religious paintings and the European portraits of high-class nobility, there were several pieces that stood out to me -- such as the selection of colorful, geometric quilts in “Quilts and Color” and the bronze lions sculpted by Arthur Putnam in “Ferocious Bronze”. The quilts were especially shocking to see in such a grand museum, as I was used to seeing quilts in old crafting stores or bedroom closets. However, the use of pattern and optical illusion in the quilts truly made it mesmerizing; the exhibit reminded me that artists choose the medium

In 1914 after the death of his best friend in a bar fight, and a confrontation with his mother concerning his revel behavior, York decided to give a total turn to his life. At the age of 29 years, York converted to the Christian faith and joined a new church called the Church of Christ in Christian Union (Birdwell, 2001). He studied the Bible, joined the church choir, and taught at the Bible Sunday school (Perry, 1997). Faith changed his life; he got married and kept his family by working hard as a farmer and blacksmith.

The Stamp act was a law passed by the British parliament in 1765. It was a law that said every piece of paper had to have a stamp. England would use the money from the stamps to help pay for the recently concluded French and Indian War because England was in a great deal of debt. People in the colonies thought of themselves as equal to the people in England, but the people in Britain didn't agree. So when the British tried to force a tax on them, the colonists realized the truth. This sparked things in the colonies such as riots and the burning of supporters houses. Different groups of colonists reacted differently to the stamp act; wealthy colonists reacted more nonviolently, with petitions and letters, while commoners

Peyton's small, jewel-like portraits are also intensely compassionate, intimate, and even personal. Together, her works capture an art that reflects the cultural climate of the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries. An oil on canvas representing John Lennon was sold for a record $800 000 in 2006 (relate back to figure 2). “A beautiful presentation of the stylish artist's celebrated drawings and paintings” described here by Laura Hoptman.

This piece was created by Willie Cole in the year 1993. Willie Cole was born in America in 1995. I found this piece in the contemporary art section. I believe that this piece caught my eye because of how huge it was, it was exactly 49 x 96 inches. This piece was so huge that it almost took up an entire wall of the museum. This piece of artwork was made out of oil stick, chalk, and latex on masonite and wood. To me, it kind of looked like chalk on a chalkboard with nothing else. The way that the word “America” is placed out on the canvas gives just enough room below each letter to write words that begin with each of the letters that spell out the word America. I was unsure as to why this piece was created the way it was but with further research on the piece I realized that Willie Cole created this art piece while sitting in front of the television and writing down words said by the news reporters that contain the first letters of “A, M, E, R, I, C, A” he also obtained the words by searching through the New York Times. “How Do You Spell America #6” is also one of the eight works that Billie Cole uses a chalkboard for. The letters that contain the letter A that were popular in the news are “Authorized, At, Abortion, Ask, A, After, Ambushed, Annual, Asprin, Angered, African, An Activist, American, and Able.” The words that contain the letter M were “Mood, Medical, Murderer’s, Me, Multi, Midday, Motorist, May, Motorist, Mother’s, Melting Pot, Minister, Malaise, and Men.” For E the words were “Enhancing, Emergency, Error, Eleven, Ethnic, Entire, Exits, Expenditure, Even, Excitedly, Embryos, Empire, Espouses, Eases, and Everywhere.” The words that make up the letter R are “Remedy, Rooms, Ravaged, Reasons, Rule, Remaining, Roadway, Report, Relieve, Ripped, Remain, Rejects, Rightwing, Right, and Rate. For I the words are “Improves, Inadequate, Infant, I, isn’t, Inventory,

Charles Ives is known in our day as the “Father of American Music,” but in his day, he was known just like everyone else- an ordinary man living his life. He was born in Danbury, Connecticut on October 20, 1894 (Stanley 1) to his mother, Sarah Hotchkiss Wilcox Ives and father, George White Ives (A Life With Music, Swafford 4). His father was renowned for being the Union’s youngest bandmaster and having the best band in the Army (The Man His Life, Swafford 1). Little Charles was influenced early in his life by his father who had libertarian ideas about music (Stanley 1). Although Danbury prided itself as “the most musical town in Connecticut”, the people did not give the musical profession respect or understanding

Herbie Hancock, full name Herbert Jeffrey Hancock is a pianist, keyboardist, composer, and even an actor. He was one of the first jazz musician to embrace synthesizers and funk music. His piano and keyboard sounds are uniquely his own embracing the elements of funk and soul while still carrying the elements of jazz. He expanded to other types of music as well like acoustic piano, hip hop, and West African rhythms. Through the progression of his career he always managed to have the ‘first’ or ‘unique’ move.Herbert Jeffery is not only a diverse man when it comes to music, but a successful jazz musician.

Untitled #57 from the series III Form and Void Full created in 2011 by Laura Letinsky found at the George Eastman Museum is an inject print displaying left half of the artwork with two and three dimensional objects while the right half filled with space with a grayish background. On the left side of the artwork, there are cups and plates with different depths of dimensions scattered in the center of the several papers they are on. There is also a three dimensional water splashing on top of a plate as if it was being poured into the plate from the top of the artwork. There are also three yellowish-red pears with a small wine glass close to them by the plate being poured by water. There are plates that are split in half with small pieces shattered around. This whole picture seems to be on a piece of paper where the edges of the paper is visible dividing Letinsky’s inject print into filled space on the left and blank space on the

The piece that I am analyzing is an untitled work of pin striping on aluminum by two local artists, ModKustoms and Tanner Leaser, who signs his pieces simply as “Tanner”. As with most artists in this genre neither goes by their real or whole name. ModKustoms created the textured aluminum panel that Tanner used as his form to display his pin stripping. This piece was created in 2014 for a charity art auction benefitting the Scottish Rite Hospital (ModKustoms). The piece is a two-dimensional, rectangular work of art meant to hang vertically on a wall. This piece was created using aluminum, translucent candied enamel paint, and 1-one shot lettering enamel (Tanner).

All made from various torn pages from books, cracked vinyls and newspapers. This is keeping very much in line with the history of auto-destructive art. In the introduction to the book Art and Destruction, Jennifer Walden (2014) writes: ‘It is also evident that ‘destruction‘ has particular relevance and resonance in relation to objects always felt to be as precarious as they are precious.’ (p. 1.) To paraphrase: art and objects that are destroyed need to be emotionally/culturally/intellectually valuable. They need an emotional connection in order to take on a further dimension in the

The work was brought to the United States by Okakura Kakuzō, a Japanese scholar who donated a collection of pieces to the Boston Art Museum, where it has resided since 1920. Many of the works he donated are still kept and preserved at this museum in their archives. The work is extensive measuring at seventy-six inches high by forty-six inches wide, roughly. This piece has been greatly cared for. It has been kept safe in their Asian art collection for now over ninety years, along with many other historical pieces that were donated.

In Patch Adams, Robin Williams portrays a doctor who strives to “improve the quality of life.” The movie is a perfect example of many cases of sacramental awareness and the sacrament of Annointing of the Sick. Patch encounters a “once-brilliant” man in a psychiatric clinic. Arthur Mendelson helps hunterThe first character Patch meets is Arthur Mendelson. Arthur influences Patch’s ability to see through problems. In a Christ-like manner, we must see through and past the problems and look ahead toward the solution. Christ died for our sins by looking past the problem.
