Snow Pines : A Critique Of Helen Frankenthaler Snow Pines

Fran admired and collected other artist’s work for her home, but also as part of her trove of infinite objects that often made their way into her art. From the mad jumble of countless boxes and bags in her studio came often playful “bricolage” works of beauty, humor and imagination. She taught for many years at the New Jersey Center for the Visual Arts, the Newark Museum and was actively teaching until just weeks before her death last year. An award-winning artist, she exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, Victoria and Albert Museum, and in galleries throughout New Jersey. She began her eight-decade career as a fashion designer before moving into painting, printmaking, found art sculpture, book and paper making, and other multi-media arts. Fran studied art at the American School of Fine Arts, Newark School of Fine Arts, and Fairleigh Dickinson University. The works in this exhibition were generously donated by Fran’s family to The 1978 Maplewood Arts Center. Proceeds from all sales will benefit the center as well as public art in the

I’m also going to be talking about Sally Morgan’s (1989) “Greetings from Rottnest” artwork, Sally Morgan artist herself, and her use of elements and principles of art in “Greetings from Rottnest”.

A CRITIQUE OF THE SNOW CHILD, TAKEN FROM ANGELA CARTER’S THE BLOODY CHAMBER. Throughout ’The Bloody Chamber’, Angela Carter takes the highly successful conventions that belong to once innocent fairy tales, and rips them unremorsefully from their seemingly sound foundations to create a variety of dark, seductive, sensual stories, altering the landscapes beyond all recognition and rewarding the heroines with the freedom of speech thus giving them license to grab hold of the reigns of the story.

The piece I choose to critique is the Spoonbridge and Cherry. I really like how Claes Oldenburg's style is to take everyday objects and make them larger than the actual size. This piece is made of stainless steel, aluminum, and paint. It is placed in the Walker Art Center in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. This sculpture is large spoon going over the water like a bridge. On the end of the spoon there is a cherry.

Many overlook the beauty that is expressed by nature. The images put together in nature influenced Mary Oliver’s “First Snow.” The beauty expressed in “First Snow” shows how there is hidden beauty in nature such as snow. Also how snow, not so simple, is something so stunning and breath taking. The descriptions of Oliver’s visions show that many things are overlooked in nature and shouldn’t be. She elaborates to show that nature sets forth not just snow, but something so much more. Mary Oliver uses many examples and proofs to show the beauty. In “First Snow” Mary Oliver conveys the image of snow to embody the beauty of nature.

When faced with adversity and difficult dilemmas, people have different ways to figure out what to do; some people make pros and cons lists while other people just go with their gut. Ethical theories like utilitarianism and deontology, can aid people in making these difficult choices. Utilitarianism focuses on the results of your actions, rather than the intent behind them, as the goal of the theory is the create the greatest good for the greatest amount people. On the other hand, deontology follows a strict moral code concentrating on the right or moral action rather than the results it yields. While utilitarianism and deontology focus on different aspects of decision making, the effect and the intent respectively, they often yield the same result; more often than not the more ethical decision leads to the greater result. These ethical theories are both used in Snow Falling on Cedars by David Gunderson where they both agree on the topics, yielding the same results.

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls and Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson are both novels about people trying to get their lives in order. In these books there is at least one character that only appears for a short amount of time but has a major effect on the story. If the book is analyzed enough, these characters can be picked out. Ken Fink and Bob Gross both changed Suzanne Walls life, even though they were only in the story for about 2 chapters. Milholland in Snow Falling on Cedars was able to change the complete direction of who was guilty for murder, although he only appeared in one chapter.

The Artist/Gallery I have chosen to write about is Kathy O’Leary and her studio is located at 208 “C” Street in Old Town Eureka. I’ve chosen to write about her because she is a landscape artist who works in oil and travels around either painting on sight or from a photograph that she has taken herself. Firstly, I'll be talking about how she paints, A series she’s currently working on, and a painting I liked the most.

David Guterson's novel Snow Falling on Cedars undoubtedly holds high acclaim in its reputable attempt to show the prejudice between the Americans and Japanese after World War II and more importantly the prejudice that is unavoidably apart of human nature. The author of the criticism recognizes and brings to light the things done by Guterson throughout the novel. He refers to the animosity between people brought about by differences, the unwillingness to accept change, and also states that things end in a moral and justified manner.

It is mid 1950’s in predominantly white populated San Piedro Island. One of its residents has been murdered and another stands accused of the crime. From the first chapter and through the use of flashbacks, David Guterson makes us aware of the racism that exists in the small, West Coast island of San Piedro. The victim, Carl Heine, is of European descent; the accused man, Kabuo Miyamoto, is of Japanese ancestry. There also is a small community of Japanese residents on San Piedro Island. David Guterson’s novel Snow Falling on Cedars includes themes about love and war, but none is more central than racism and prejudice as a choice of the heart and mind of the individual. The

In the novel, Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson, Kabuo Miyamoto a Japanese fisherman and WWII veteran is accused of murdering Carl Heine Jr. A crime he is falsely charged with and is accused based strictly on his race. The trial was one-sided as a result of WWII and tension between the Japanese and The American white citizens. The Novel takes place during 1940 to 1955. In the town of Amity Harbor, on San Piedro island in Washington State, where Pearl Harbor and WWII is still fresh in everybody’s mind. Where the Japanese citizens mistreated due to racial background?

The artist John Lythe Wilson I was suggested to look at and also an artist I believe can help me elevate my artwork and bring it to a level of appreciation throughout many perspectives. Wilson is an artist from Rock Hill, SC and did the bulk of his schooling in

For my cultural review, I went to the Orlando Museum of art. I have been there once before and it is one of my favorite places. A couple of the pieces that really stuck out to me was the Lily Pond painting, the Inner Lhamo Waterfall, and the Inch by Inch. The Lily Pond is a canvas oil painting that was created in 1923 by Frank Weston Benson. This painting is in the Carl and Gini Weyand Gallery, which is the people and places of American art. Frank Benson from Salem, Massachusetts is considered one of America’s most successful painters. Benson was an American Impressionist painter which is associated with European Impressionism but practiced by American artists around the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Benson is most popularly known for
