The Concepts Of Art : Marisol Escobar And Auguste Rodin

Frida Kahlo was a very talented Mexican artist that revolutionized art at a very young age. Her work is still idolized and celebrated today and is studied by many artists, institutes of higher education, museums, and fans. Kahlo was born in the town of Coyoacan, Mexico on July the sixth in the year of 1907 (Kettenmann 3). She made around 143 paintings, and out of those 143 paintings, 55 were self-portraits that included symbolism of her physical and emotion pain. Furthermore, in her portraits she used symbolism to express her wounds and sexuality. She use to say: “I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality” (Fuentes 41). Her paintings style include of vibrant colors and was heavily influenced

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,

This relationship between creator and consumer, and how the consumer’s involvement is responsible for authenticating social identities is best understood in terms of what Alfred Gell calls the art nexus. In his book Art and Agency, Gell’s theory of the art nexus considers the living presence response where viewers, or recipients, react to works of art as if they are living beings or even persons, that in turn act back upon the viewer, entering into a personal relationship with them that elicit a feeling or reaction. Through the art nexus, Gell demonstrates how art objects are able to embody intentionalities and facilitate agency. The art nexus becomes a network of social relations, mediating the push and pull

One of my most favorite artists is the Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo. She was born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderon in Coyoacan, Mexico, July 6, 1907 and died July 13, 1954. She was one of four daughters born to a Hungarian-Jewish father and a mother of Spanish and Mexican Indian descent. Frida Kahlo is the most famous Mexican woman artist on the contemporary art scene. In 1922, Kahlo hung out with a group of politically and intellectually like-minded students. The Mexican mural movement begins. Frida first learns of Diego Rivera, who is painting his mural "Creation" at the school 's lecture hall. Kahlo becoming a painter, was not a part of Frida 's career goals. Her goal in life was to become a doctor but a tragic accident at age 18 left her mentally and physically scared for life. It changed the course of her life forever. It was during her months of convalescence that Frida began to take painting seriously…"to combat the boredom and pain". she said. "I felt I still had enough energy to do something other than studying to become a doctor. Without giving it any particular thought, I started painting." It was the beginning of a life-long career for Frida.

The relations between art and life is explored throughout Martin McDonagh’s play, The Pillowman and Muriel Spark’s Loitering With Intent. They explore these relations through discussing the stylistic features of their characters and how these characters are perceived in real life. Both authors explore how the preconceived ideas of what a character should be is dismantled and the line which distinguishes between art and life is becoming less clear. Another way in which these authors explore the link between art and life is through the act of storytelling. This suggests that life is a form of art. Both texts deal with the argument of whether it is life that influences art or art that influences life. Some literary critics such as Henry James

While his love for art was encouraged at an early age, Diego Rivera’s relationship with Frida Kahlo was full of love and drama, yet not as much as the controversy he caused during his movement-inspiring art career, which continued after him. At an early age, Diego Rivera began to express his artistic skill. José Diego Rivera (Hamill 11) and his twin brother, José Carlos Rivera (Hamill 11), were born on December 8, 1886 in Guanajuato, Mexico (Biography.com Editors 1). His father was Diego Rivera, a teacher (Helms 23). His mother was María del Pilar Barrientos (Hamill 11), who was also a teacher (Helms 23). Rivera’s mother had endured three stillborns before she had José Carlos and Rivera (Hamill 11). At one and a half years old, José Carlos

The exhibition Degas: Form, Movement and the Antique at the Tampa Museum of art consist of 47 pieces from the French impressionist’s Edgar Degas life. The exhibition focuses on Degas fascination with motion, and shape and his influences from Greek and Roman art. It consists of oil paintings, charcoal and pastel drawings, and bronze replicas of his works. Most of the pieces are inspired by horses, ballerinas and everyday women. He traditionally used line, color and texture in his paintings to convey the poise and grace of the figures. He also used asymmetry, imbalance and dramatic angles to give the dancers a more naturalistic feeling. In his sculptures he typically used shape and space to simulate movement, and used form to capture the

The painting was created by an artist, Cristobal de Villalpando, during the late 1600s. The artwork was made by oil on canvas in Mexico. The frame of the painting is 81 1/8 inches high and 55 7/8 inches wide. The painting is of Virgin Mary praying and angels surrounding her at the bottom of her feet. The title, The Immaculate Conception, has a deep meaning to the painting. The word immaculate means cleanliness or unsullied. The artist illustrated Virgin Mary as a sinless woman because of God’s grace even though she conceived Jesus Christ normally.

This depth or distance that the beholder of the eye misses as he/she analyzes the action of the 2-dimensional portrait is what’s called the painter’s space. In reality, one of the greatest abilities one’s eyes have is being able to determine depth and distance; small objects are at a far distance and bigger

Rembrandt has often been referred to as "The Painter of Light" for his innovative and influential approach to depicting light. Describe Rembrandt's approach to depicting light in painting. How is it influenced by Caravaggio's tenebrism and how does it differ or improve upon that technique?

We were assigned to make a piece of art to tribute our artist that best puts him or her in thought. There were nine groups honoring nine different artists. I feel that the tribute to Dario Escobar was truly the most effective. Escobar is a well-known artist born in Guatemala. He is famous for his many abstract ideas for artwork and his theme for many of his work being made of sports gear and some covered in gold leaf. I will prove the effectiveness of Escobar’s tribute from the group’s presentation and the principles and elements of art used by the group.

Picasso sat proudly beside his and mama Luciana's suitcase. He knew he was Lucky that mama took him everywhere with her. I strolled proudly inside the security machine with mama after she handed our passports To security. Standing inside the x-ray machine I wondered if Everyone could see my bones. Being a Parson Russell meant being a short dog

There are several schools of thought on how art should be taught, if taught at all. Some artist believe that art cannot be taught and must come within while other artist believe that there is only one correct way to execute a project and that must be taught. Here we can look at two different approaches to this idea.

When the new upper class movement, Renaissance, occurred in Italy around the 14th century, a revival of the classical forms originally developed by the ancient Greeks and Romans, an intensified concern with secular life, and interest in humanism and assertion of the importance of the individual began. Thus, artists such as Mosaccio and Giotto depicted art that unlike the Middle Ages, showed emotions, feelings, and bright colors, thus demonstrating the deep concern for naturalism in the society. Other artists during the Italian Renaissance period such as Giovanni Bellini began to express their art through secular and religious themes and ideas that were exhibited through landscapes and portraits. As new styles of

Sigmund Freud established and originated the psychoanalysis with the emphasis on helping the patients of neurotic illnesses. Freud formulated his method through Joseph Breuer’s hypnotic method that is the free association. He revolutionalized the ideas of how the human mind works; He challenged the long-standing identification of the self with the conscious thinking subject. Freud established the theory of the unconscious. This becomes a controversial one that is comparable to the Copernican revolution that the sun is the center of the universe and Darwin’s theory of evolution that man is a descent of the apes; in this analogy, Freud, argued that a large part of what makes up the mind is often hidden from the subject person as a conscious
