Similarities Between Jonathan Garrison And Patrick W. Shames

Cole has no restrain in describing the beauty of all the elements found in the American scenery. He talks about the mountains, the sky, the streams, the sunset, waterfalls, all of which are overflowing in richness, full of magnificence, and unsurpassed by any other. For Cole the scenery and nature are subjects which must be present in the souls of every American. While he considers himself and even others underserving of “such a birthright”, he is thankful for the beauties given to us by nature. Cole suggests to his audience that the reason behind him painting natural scenes relates to the experiencing of a particular emotional response while doing so. This is a response which can only be compared to a “calm religious tone”, full of “tranquility and peace.” Witnessing the beauties of the American scenery, anywhere one goes, makes one realize how “the sublime and beautiful are bound together in an indissoluble chain. In gazing on it we feel as though a great void had been filled in our minds.” Cole places great emphasis on the importance for all members of society to learn how to cultivate “a taste for scenery.” This can be achieved by appreciating the physical beauty of nature and the ability of said beauty to provide mankind with a different perspective about life and with

Winogrand took photos of everything he saw; he always carried a camera or two, loaded and prepared to go. He sought after to make his photographs more interesting than no matter what he photographed. Contrasting many well-known photographers, he never knew what his photographs would be like he photographed in order to see what the things that interested him looked like as photographs. His photographs resemble snapshots; street scenes, parties, the zoo. A critical artistic difference between Winogrand's work and snapshots has been described this way, the snapshooter thought he knew what the subject was in advance, and for Winogrand, photography was the process of discovering it. If we recall tourist photographic practice, the difference becomes clear: tourists know in advance what photographs of the Kodak Hula Show will look like. In comparison, Winogrand fashioned photographs of subjects that no one had thought of photographing. Again and again his subjects were unconscious of his camera or indifferent to it. Winogrand was a foremost figure in post-war photography, yet his pictures often appear as if they are captured by chance. To him and other photographers in the 1950s, the previous pictures seemed planned, designed, visualized, understood in advance; they were little more than pictures, in actual fact less, because they claimed to be somewhat else the examination of real life. In this sense, the work of Garry Winogrand makes a motivating comparison to Ziller's

Ansel Adams was a photographer who was also an environmentalist who specialised in fully focused photos. Ansel Adams is one of the most respected and well known photographers in the world, known for his breathtaking land scape photos of the west of America, like the Utah mountains ect. Throughout his long 70 year old career he made a lot of work. He had over 500 gallery shows in his time which is amazing! His style included sharp and even focus, extensive tonal range, clarity of detail, straight or pure photography, close-up images or expansive sweeping landscapes and majestic, heroic images, full of national pride. His themes and interests in art and photography is the earth and all its features. He focussed the whole photo which I think is amazing because the detail is amazing and it’s all amazing because its black and white as well. It has greys which is good but everyone of his photos but he always has a true black and true white. The quality of light in

On Saturday, November 4th, I visited the Denver Art Museum in Denver, Colorado. The piece of art I decided to write about is called “A Mountain Symphony (Longs Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado)” This two-dimensional oil on canvas painting was completed in America in 1927 by Sven Birger Sandzén. This painting has not been on public view since 1927 and is located in the Denver Art Museum in Denver, Colorado. It was a “Free Day” at the museum, so I decided to attend by myself. I was unable to get a picture of myself in front of the work of art I decided to write about, but I did get several pictures of the artwork and a picture of myself with the “Free Day” sticker. I decided to write about this work of art because it was the only piece in the museum that really stood out to me and really caught my attention. A Mountain Symphony is a lively, beautiful landscape painting with a vibrant pallet filled with luminosity and broad brushstrokes. The sculptural quality of the paint surface reflect the influence of turn-of-the century modernist techniques. The balance of color and light brings happiness and joy to the viewer.

In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout introduces the reader to three of Maycomb’s poor young citizens: Walter Cunningham, Little Chuck Little and Burris Ewell. While each is poor, Lee makes a point of making each of the boys individuals. Ms. Lee clearly demonstrates her belief that socio-economic status is not a justification for stereotyping these young men and implies that parenting is the more defining characteristic of a person’s quality. By examining Ms. Lee’s characterization of the boys through Scout’s descriptions of them, through their own dialogue, and through the boys’ actions, Ms. Lee demonstrates the boys as very different characters, despite their similar poor circumstances.

With both art and nature driving and having an enormous influence throughout American society, Ansel Adams preserves the beauty of natural parks by capturing the mood and atmosphere for the public. His role as an enviourentalist as well as photographer has allowed him to represent nature through a non-materialistic, indefinable mystique. Similar to Adams, The Hunt institute concentrations focuses on the characteristics of botany history while providing research and documentation of plant science. Adam used the atmosphere of the natural environment around him to represent varieties of design and form while preserving and displaying the unseen wonders of nature.

In chapters two and three titled “Sites” and “Movements” respectively, Howard makes the case that there is a “dialectical” relationship between the subject and the landscape (both social and physical) and

Rodney Lough Jr is a photographer who loves to capture the natural world. Rodney was born on July 22, 1960 in Jacksonville, Florida. Rodney war twelve when he first received his very own camera and since then he loves to take photos. Rodney Lough Jr didn’t learn to take photos from anyone, he was self taught and he taught himself very well. His parents would take him hiking and camping when he was young. He went to college for some schooling but not for photography. After he finish schooling he got a steady job and a wife and four children. He continued to go camping, hiking and shooting wilderness photos with his wife and children with his spare time. On one trip he went to Colorado and saw this beautiful mountains that made him realize

Minor White is one of my favorite photographers. I was intrigued and inspired the first time I looked at his photographs. The first images I laid my eyes on were some of his infrared images and I fell in love. White’s landscape photographs have a large death of field and I believe that helps draw you into his images.His abstract work is very interesting since you never really can tell what White was actually photographing. It draws you in because it makes you curious and want to inspect the image further for a meaning. He was a very technical photographer which I love because I am very technical myself. His attention to detail when he printing his images are remarkable. The contrast in his images remind me of Ansel Adams. They have bright whites,

Indeed other photographers are important for their photographs of land and nature. Notably, Adams is the most prolific contributor and documenter of the land, at least, that is, in America. It is, after all, Ansel Adams’s studio, home and legacy. Although Adams did focus on critically exposing social problems in society and remedy them, he was influential in shaping conservation legislation for open places and spaces in America. While the 1950s was not a time to “go green,” Adams understood then, just as photographers do now words are not enough.

Overall I like Clyde Butchers photographs, most of his pictures cover a large space of land with big clouds and it looks cool. Some of his pictures have reflections of large things like mountains from a lake or pond and pictures like that reminds me of something that I would want to take. Clyde went through some hard times like when he lost his son, I think that would give anyone motivation to do better in life. He said that when he was in the nature taking pictures it made him closer to his son, it just makes hos story better. I like Clyde’s Butchers artwork it is defiantly

In both stories, the protagonists Walter Cunningham and Robert Peck, had a lot in common. One thing that they both had in common was that they were both poor. Walter Cunningham is a young boy who can't afford a lot of things. He doesn't have nice clothes or nice shoes to wear. They also described him as a boy who had hookworms on his face.

I am analyzing the form and content of a stylized painting entitled The Palisades by John William Hill. This was found in the collection section of themetmusuem.org which was painted during the pre Raphaelite movement; when artist emphasized meticulous detail in what was observed rather than imagined nature. This artwork shows the aesthetics of nature, depicting a peaceful scenery with spacious green acres during the year of the 1870s. During the late 18th centuries, natural resources weren’t highly industrialized and that in itself shows how nature was essential for all human species. I argue that this painting shows how everything in nature connects and communicates with one another.

Born in Melbourne, Australia, self-taught photographer, Peter Lik has been shooting expansive scenes of Mother Nature his whole life. In the late 90´s he took a massive project known as “Spirit of America”. After 50 thousand miles and 1,000 rolls of film, peter had revealed landscapes from all 50 United States.
