Survey of Art History

A primary objective in measuring productivity is to improve operations either by using fewer inputs to produce the same output, or to produce:

The two artworks I chose to use for my essay are the Merode Altarpiece by Robert Campin, and The Deposition by Rogier van der Weyden. Both paintings are from the Early Renaissance, and I found both of them in my textbook. (Campin painting: page 307 and Weyden painting: page 311 in book “ART: A Brief History”)

With the invention of the camera came the desire for realism. The world was changing and it was happening fast. Fast enough that people were being over looked as business and the need for natural materials lead the way. Through war in France came realism and it caused discomfort at the sight of unpleasant looking locals and grim topics, such as death. Artists were really on top of their game with the material added in their paintings that represented serious political issues and issues with the church. If I had not read about the paintings I would not have looked at them in a more serious light. I would have continued to believe these were relaxed beautiful paintings of people in the 1800's. Even the painting of Rue Transnonain by Honoré was

This paper is a formal analysis of the Marble grave stele with a family group relief sculpture. It is a pentelic marble style relief standing at 171.1cm tall carved by a master. It is from the Late Classical period of Greek, Attic which was completed around ca.360 B.C. . I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because I’m mainly attracted to art and sculptures from the Greek era. The overall color used in this relief is ivory with a few cracks and pieces broken off. There is some discoloration which causes the color to come off as slightly light brown for most of the relief. The sculpture appears larger compared to the other sculptures in the art room. It represents a family which includes a man, his wife, and their

Turner 's The Slave Ship, in addition to Monet’s Impression Sunrise, each collectively are a couple of masterpieces of the nineteenth century that examine the interpretation of colors in addition to motion. They may be intricate works that can be both identified as the face of artistic techniques; The Slave Ship is widely seen as a Romantic portrait becoming an outstanding illustration for the Sublime revolution, while on the other hand, Impression Sunrise is the earliest portrait recognized in the Impressionist age. Both styles are revolutionary artworks with approaches that a majority of individuals had never examined before. Although the artworks comprise of numerous things in common, both are specifically different from each other.

Overview, background: Enlightenment, (Newton & Galileo); Classicism/Romanticism (French & other Revolutions); Impressionism & Post (Industrial Revolution, Darwin), Modernism (WWI, Freud, WWII) Pop & Op (Vietnam, sexual revolution, Watergate); today (technological revolution).

1. Do we create a hierarchy within archaeology of the tools/human fossils over the unknown objects/art objects by placing more importance on the sciences than the arts, i.e. we readily fund certain projects of a scientific nature (i.e. proving the missing link) vs projects of a purely aesthetic nature (restoration of pre-Columbian burial wrapping weavings)? What motivates this hierarchy, if a hierarchy exists?

I was surprised when I saw your PowerPoint because all the pictures were from the actual Denver Museum Art. All these pieces of art you took were catching my attention and help me learned more about the Pre-Columbian Art. Therefore, your PowerPoint just made me realized that most of males and females arts are mostly nude, which I still don't understand why. In my opinion, some of the Pre-Columbian art is very interesting because is give me a hard time to figure what it was and every of their arts important to the Spanish history.

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

He later began a career as a fashion photographer taking Pictures for popular Paris magazines. While in Paris, Ray produced brilliant work, which we know today as Rayo Grammes. Which are images created on a piece of paper, light is exposed then the image is produced. Another popular work of Man Ray is Violin D’ingres. The photograph features Kiki, Ray’s lover’s naked back. It was inspired by a painting from French artist Jean August Dominique. To add a twist Man Ray added two black shapes that appear to be musical instruments. Ray also experimented with solarization, which is reverse imaging, creating a photographic image from a negative form. His photographic innovations influenced other avant-garde photographers, such as André Kertesz and Brassai, and apprentices Berenice Abbott and Lee Miller. Even though he was successful as a photographer, Man Ray always considered himself, primarily, a painter. His work was foundational for avant-garde artists in both Europe and America, and he is widely considered one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. Man Ray also made short films between 1923 and

Henry Peach Robinson, born on July 9th, 1830, was a British photographer and prominent author on photography. Known as “the King of Photographic Picture Making,” he began his life’s work as a painter but would become one of the most influential photographers of the late 19th century. He was a prolific advocate for photography as an art form and is well known for his role in “pictorialism,” which, according to Encyclopedia Britannica, is “an approach to photography that emphasizes beauty of subject matter, tonality, and composition rather than the documentation of reality.”

The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the

How has the Classical tradition (the art of Greece and Rome) continued to affect art through the 1700s? In what way have artists also turned away from the Classical tradition?
