The Art Gallery : Six Friends At Dieppe

The 19th century art movement, Impressionism originated by a group of artists who rejected the official, government endorsed exhibitions. In 1863, a large number of artist were not accepted into the most important event of the art world, The Official Salon. To which they responded by creating an exhibition known of their own, known as the Salon de Refuses which consisted of work by artists who had been refused acceptance to the official salon. The Impressionists aimed to capture the fleeting moment of a scene, which turned away from the fine finish and detail that majority of artists aimed for in their day. They wanted to capture the effects of light, to convey the difference of time, changes in weather, and other differences in the atmosphere,

Raoul Dufy’s 1906 painting Still Life with Closed Shutters emphasizes the emotion in modern reality rather that the eighteen century’s focus on the physical aspects in its reality. The work of art uses different styles in Modern Art to reflect the symbolic view of the sentiments. The canvas contains the Impressionist characteristic of focusing more on capturing the essence of the atmosphere by sacrificing the dark shadows for brighter shades of color. This greatly contrasts with the eighteen centuries’ attention on the finer details to show the item’s appearance in real life. The portrait also has the Abstract Art aspect of withdrawing the items’ outlines to create a visual representation of the human emotions. The modern reality cares more

In David’s painting there is a clarity and crispness that is similar to a photograph, yet his figures maintain a baby like softness. Gerard’s implied texture of the clothes and environment are softer than David’s giving the painting a more realistic appearance. David and Gerard both show in these paintings that they have a very good understanding of human anatomy and form. The figures in both painting have a good sense of underlying structure and weight.

In this paper, I choose to discuss three pieces of art from the 19th century Impressionist period and three from the Post-Impressionist period and how these six pieces of art compare to each style. Then I will draft a memo to the CEO of my company to describe the appearance, so that they will have an idea of what the art looks like and where it should be placed throughout the corporate offices. Next, we are going to explain the historical significance for each piece of artwork that I choose. Finally, I will descried to the CEO of my company how each piece of art matches the company’s overall image.

The works ‘Blaze’ and ‘Fragment 1/7’ by Bridget Riley and the work Six Geometric Figures (+ Two) by Sol LeWitt all share many aspects of art in common however they are very distinct in terms of the different materials, techniques and the emotions they provoke. Though the artworks can be looked at in different ways, these are all pieces that at first are perceived to mean nothing, but it is evident what the aim of the artists is after an indepth view.

It is evident that the people in this painting are modern parisians that could be found walking down the street during this time period. Another thing that can be noted are the visual brush strokes all along the painting. During this time period it was a common practice to put in the extra time to make everything in the piece realistic and very detailed. This painting was meant to confuse the public. No one knew what it was actually about.

In this unit, we have learned different modern art styles such as Post-impressionism, Cubism and Fauvism. The works created in these periods are considered to be inspired by each other but still different in the background. In this essay, three representative modern works will be compared to demonstrate their relations and differences.

Henry Matisse’s “Le Bonheur de Vivre” id s vividly colorful piece that depicts nude people lounging on a plain, while enjoying all the beauty that life has to offer. The painting seems scaled in an academic manner in terms of sizes of the figures, but it is “avant-garde in most other respects”, “in the way the figures appear flattened and the distortion of the spatial relations between them.” Although Mattisse paints many of the figures in a classical sort of sense, the expressiveness of his style and other spacial factors clearly show his influences from the modern art period. He expressed the emotions he wanted to convey through the incredible color scheme that he used in this piece. The meadow, sea, sky, and forest are colored in ways that

In the Wallach Gallery exhibition of Anna Hyatt Huntington’s sculpture (1876-1973), the viewer gets to discover different versions of the emblematic figure that is Joan of Arc, from small bronze medals, to much bigger works of art. A digital replication of the initial statue that was unveiled at Riverside Drive and 93rd Street in December 1915 is also available the public in the gallery. The success of the Joan of Arc – or The Maid of Orleans’s depictions results from the symbol that she fosters in European and American culture: a French medieval patriotic heroine who received visions directly from God and who was told to help France combat the English domination and who died burned at the stake, as a martyr.

There is a balance of attractions to the eye with the multiple characters portrayed in the painting. The eye is quickly drawn to the focal point and led on to the different characters actions. Additionally, we see there are no empty areas and the use of space is quite filled with objects, characters and action. The use of space makes this work of art more interesting. This work is carefully balanced from the yachts and rowing boats to the left from the strategically placed characters of different sizes to show depth.

Toulouse’s art inspires me to paint in a similar fashion, how he can get so much across with such a simple painting. The reason for choosing him was that La Toilette captured me, it is such a beautiful painting but it so simple. It doesn’t show the face of the model and only use blue as its main colour but it still gets something across the viewer. That is what inspires me, that even though he painted in such a simple way, he still communicated his messages and meanings easily.

I am not an artist nor have I ever taken an art class so initially, when given this project, I panicked a little bit. When I look at different pieces of art, I am blown away at how simple a painting or structure looks yet is selling over over $1000. After sitting down and researching the five pieces of art that I looked at in the gallery, I was interested in how an art piece that is so simple can hold a unique message and once I found out what the message was, I looked back at the art and could definitely see the message being portrayed. The five pieces of art that I looked at and researched are Joy Trinh’s Joy Element CM- 1514, Nate Cassie’s Field, Tom Hollenback’s Volumetric Painting- Olive Square, Tom Hollenback’s SP3, and Ansen Seale’s Sentinel. I also interviewed Gabby Garcia about her

            More specifically, one of the ways in which the French Revolution affected painters from the Romantic style can be seen in scenes depicted as “fete Galantes” (elegant outdoor entertainments) by Jean-Antoine Watteau, which reflect a shift from discreetness

“Luncheon of the Boating Party” by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is one of the most renowned paintings. The painting is significant to the age of impressionism; this movement in France took place in 1870’s-1880’s. Impressionism is identified through the strokes, colors and light that is present in the piece. “Luncheon of the Boating Party” depicts the identity of impressionism during the bridge of the 19th to the 20th century.

In the period between 14 March and 7 June 2015, the institution of the Royal Academy of Arts, based in the heart of London, takes an artistic importance even more significant than usual thanks to the organization of the exhibition dedicated to the painter Richard Diebenkorn, who works in America in the mid-twentieth century. The first thing to emphasize about this event is that, to the European audience, the name of the artist may seem unfamiliar. Indeed, his success has been mainly limited to the US context. Moreover, it is significant that this three-room show is the first opportunity for the UK audience to approach the art of Diebenkorn in more than twenty years. Thus, the exposition becomes not only an opportunity to see the works of art but also the instrument by which the visitor can take a journey through the different artistic phases that have characterized the life of the painter. Hence, while the first part of the display includes the initial experiments with abstraction, in the second Diebenkorn tries to find the way to express himself through the figurative art. In the third room, the viewer might be surprised to see that the development of the artist is actually his return to the beginning. In fact, even if differently compared to the early stage, in his later works, the creator returns to the Abstract Expressionism. Therefore, using a more geometric style given by vertical,
