Rebusspiel is painted by Wolfgang Hutter. The painting was created in the year of 1961. The painting is currently being displayed at The Tampa Museum of Art in the heart of Down Town Tampa. Rebusspiel is a German word; when translated to English, it is called the Rebus Game. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, rebus is a riddle or puzzle made up of letters, pictures, or symbols whose names sound like the parts or syllables of a word or phrase. Hutter used art elements to create a perplexed painting that has a vibrant surrounding while the center of focus seems to be in distress. The artist, Wolfgang Hutter, was an Austrian fantastic realist painter. Hutter was born in 1928 and passed away at the age of 86 in 2014. Hutter’s artworks seemed to focus on botanical theme. His works “…explore themes of the fantastic and magic, featuring playful takes on subjects such as gardens and dolls” (Neuendorf). Fantastic realism is magic realism, which offers a “…calm admiration of the magic of being, of the discovery that things already have their own faces” (Ríos). It helps to influence one’s imagination. Rebusspiel is a two-dimensional art piece. It was painted with oil paint on Masonite, which is a type of hardboard. The hardboard is made of wood fibers and glue being molded into flat boards (Body-Evans). Oil paint provides artists a few advantages over the other types of paints. Oil paint offers a wide variety of colors; they can be thinned down to reduce the opacity; and
Alpine Landscape is an oil painting by German artist Julius Lange at 1866. It is considered that this painting might be based on sketches from 1856 or may date from a later trip to Switzerland. The painting basically shows a scene of mountains and a lake from a lakeside. Mountains and clouds in the sky are presented in the background. On the foot of the mountain is a lake surrounded by disorganized rocks and plants.
Magic realism (or magical realism) is a literary genre in which magical elements appear in an otherwise realistic setting. As used today the term is broadly descriptive rather than critically rigorous. The term was initially used by German art critic Franz Roh to describe painting which demonstrated an altered reality, but was later used by Venezuelan Arturo Uslar-Pietri to describe the work of certain Latin American writers. The Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier (a friend of Uslar-Pietri) used the term "lo real maravilloso" (roughly "marvelous reality") in the prologue to his novel The Kingdom of this World (1949). Carpentier's conception was of a kind of heightened reality in which elements of the miraculous could appear
M.C. Escher occupies a unique spot among the most popular artists of the past century. While his contemporaries focused on breaking from traditional art and its emphasis on realism and beauty, Escher found his muse in symmetry and infinity. His attachment to geometric forms made him one of modernism’s most recognizable artists and his work remains as relevant as ever.
However, to further implement how magical realism constitute how this painting is conveyed, the exact meaning behind this trait must be explored. Magic realism is described by a twist in the usual conventions and shows a more fantastical interpretation in the
Perhaps the most technically impressive aspect of the painting is its remarkable three-dimensionality. Rembrandt is well known for his strikingly accurate portrayal of human shape and form, and this painting lives up to such reputation. With the use of oil paint, he was able to carefully and selectively layer color to create an astonishing representation of the human figure. The most alluring aspect of the piece, in terms of modeling technique, is the face. It contains so much detail; it is hard to believe this painting was done by hand. From the light, wispy texture of the facial hair to the subtle wrinkles surrounding the eyes, attention to detail is what sets this portrait far above many others. Rembrandt’s playful chiaroscuro on the nose and right hand truly give the piece a sense of depth, and the painterly quality of the piece produces a soft and elegant look. Also present within the face is the famous Rembrandt triangle. The result of a specific lighting technique frequently used by Rembrandt, a small triangle is formed underneath the eyes. It is present under the left eye in Marten’s portrait, which gives his face a more natural look. Another technique that intensifies the three-dimensionality of the visible body parts is the use of
The Veteran in a New Field is an oil painting by the artist Winslow Homer. This painting shows a Civil War soldier after the end of the war. The soldier in the painting has returned home and is harvesting grain on a beautiful sunny day. In my opinion I think that Kooser’s words and phrases are very symbolic.
Emanuel Leutze’s painting depicts George Washington, Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, crossing the Delaware River with his men on Christmas night, 1776 in order to surprise attack the Hessians at Trenton. Leutze’s portrait reflects some of the ideals represented by Thomas Jefferson, as well enlightenment thinkers John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau and perfectly demonstrates the role the American Revolution played in the shift from the medieval period into the early modern period.

An artwork piece by Timothy Kobs was called Frankster. Many of people may have called it Frankenstein. As a child Timothy Kobs enamored of monster movies. The most iconic was Frankenstein from 1931. The very old movies were made in black and white.
First party of my gallery starts from the first picture of the English-French war until the Gruerica painting all slanted towards the right. This section portrays the evil acts committed by humans on humans because of money, power and stupidity which can include racism to really all the other reasons. The purpose of this part of the gallery is to always have in mind all the heinous actions done upon us because of stupid notion so we can learn from it and never to make it again. More importantly to understand we are all one. The reason for the paintings and the photograph being slanted is to think as each one of us one domino so if one falls we fall.
Robert Storr quoted, ‘One does not find many brush marks’ in the paintings, notes Storr, adding that ‘the squeegee is the main protagonist’ (see Storr, 2009, p.69). Storr posits Richter’s use of the squeegee and what he refers to as the resulting ‘smears’ as the artist’s single most innovative contribution to the history of painting. He observes that Richter’s large, handmade squeegee tools, which often extend to several metres wide, have a clear flexible edge, allowing Richter to observe what is occurring on both sides of the blade as it moves across the surface of the painting distributing pre-applied amounts of paint. Storr continues: Depending on the quantity, consistency, and placement of the paint and the degree of pressure employed,
An Old Master’s painting provides for the viewer the possibility of being part of the space created as an illusion of depth by the painters, and this in itself characterizes how these painters found their own different way of challenging painting compared to what it previously used to be, by breaking the limits of painting defined by the medium. And on the contrary, Modernist paintings focusing on the flatness of the pictorial plane give the viewer the possibility to travel through the painting “only with the eye” (experienced by Manet and Impressionist painters). But, Greenberg insists that being self-critical doesn't suggest that leading painting into the extreme abstraction is the answer to Modernist painting (he gives the example of Kandinsky and Mondrian).
In 1953, Robert Rauschenberg had the idea of adding drawing to his All White Series. However, drawing on these paintings, or anywhere, would defeat the purpose of this series, and so he came to the conclusion that the only way he could achieve this would be through erasure. He began experimenting with his own drawings, but still being a young artist it he didn’t think it would be considered art. For his idea to work, he thought, it had to be art that he erased. Having admiration and respect for artist Willem de Kooning, Rauschenberg decided to buy a bottle of Jack Daniels, and go to his house. Rauschenberg explained to de Kooning his idea, and asked if he could use a drawing of his. Reluctant, de Kooning agreed, only because he understood the idea. After looking through his portfolios, de Kooning handed Rauschenberg a drawing that he would miss, and that was almost impossible to erase. A month later, Rauschenberg successfully erased de Kooning’s drawing, and with the help of Jasper Johns, titled the piece in ink, and framed it. Robert Rauschenberg’s Erased de Kooning Drawing can be seen as either a minimalist piece or conceptual piece. Through a clearer understanding of both movements, the aim of this essay is to show how this piece could be seen as a minimal piece or a conceptual piece, and to see which movement it leans more towards.
