Three Ages Of The Woman And The Death By Hans Baldung Grien

Then there are also many psychological lines to be seen in the work. One such line is of the woman and the floor, where she is staring down towards it. Another is from the young child and the store clerk, showing a defiance between the two. Next, light and value are not very contrasting in this painting, with only the basic highlights and the shadows seen. It isn’t completely contrasting or contradicting since the colors blend well together with close to the same value ranges, dark colors seen throughout except for the people’s pale faces. There also seems to be a variety of light sources since the woman’s face along with the shop clerk and the young boy’s is lit up by what seems to be a light bulb since they’re much brighter and highlighted and then the men and women in the back aren’t really as bright, except for the ones who close to the open door, creating a blue tinge from the outside light. The shapes shown through the painting is shown to be either very round or very geometrical. There are organic shapes in things such as the umbrella or even the back of the chair, but mostly it is either straight lines and geometrical shapes. The volume shown in the painting is very much implied, correctly showing the

The focal point of the painting is the woman with infant. This is shown by the lighting in the painting being directly on her, the bright red that she is wearing, and the circling of the putti around her figure along with the majority of their gazes being directed at her. The bright light directly behind her and the infant could possibly be coming from the sun behind the clouds in the sky, the putti to her upper right holding the torch, or it could be symbolic in that it is the infant’s halo and representative of his divine nature. The overall piece is not overly dark but the lighting seems to be most focused on the woman, infant, her other children, and the flying putti. This is an example of tenebrism.

One of the aspects I believe unifies this painting is, as I talked about above, the continuation of the blue of the woman’s clothing continuing up into her hair, which gives the piece a sense of wholeness and relativity. There is also balance in this piece, for while the woman’s head is offset, this is balanced out by the elongation of her shoulder and arm in the right side of the image. Variety is also achieved in this piece through the use of a variation of hues and a lot of tonal difference. Emphasis is placed upon the hair with the use of an unnatural hair colour, as well as the face where light colours are used to highlight and pull the attention. Space is not so much of an active principle in this piece, but is still present nonetheless. Beryl is placed in the middle of the painting, with her taking up roughly 50% of the space, and the rest taken up by background.

This piece is one of my favorites amongst many others by Lora Zombie. I find that it is quite witty and somewhat tasteful in a very exclusive way. It looks to be as if the girl in the painting is in the mist of a happy outter body experience almost like being in a trans state but seeing nothing but rainbows and unicorns. I love Lora Zombies paintings because it relates to a happy carefree part of me.

The first painting I chose to focus on is Waterhouse’s, The Lady of Shalott. The main aspect of this painting is the trip down the river the Lady takes during part four. The painting does include the words “The Lady of Shalott” (126) carved “about the prow” (125), and the woman is “robed in snowy white” (136). Also there does seem to be leaves falling around her as well as the coming of night, similar to the image presented in the poem. Also similar to the poem, the woman in the painting has a very exhausted and sorrowful demeanor. The second painting I chose is Whaterhouse’s, The Lady of Shalott Looking at Lancelot. This image shows the moment where the Lady finally sees outside instead of in her mirror. This is the moment when she has finally broken free of her isolation and captivity, but also the moment that begins her

The painting shows the left side profiles of all the subjects involved. The main focus is Ruby, a dark skinned female child, painted slightly towards the left. She is looking up straight ahead, with an indifferent

To begin to understand the significance behind a painting, one must begin by examining the colors used by the artist in the painting. The first thing that really jumps off the canvas is the fact that there is an obvious equilibrium in the balance of colors used throughout the painting. The farther your eyes go from the lightened focal point in the painting, the darker the setting turns. Dark colors of blue and purple that make up the night sky and rock formations that are in the background are met by various shades of green to complete an exotic dark triad. This dark triad is then brightened by a few lighter accents, that give the overall feel of the painting a ghost-like quality. The color of the skin on the characters is a very pale grey, that just adds onto the ghostly feel. There is a blotch of red near the brightened moon that helps lighten up the clear sea. With the ghostly feel of the painting, it is obvious that the darker shades are used to signify the evils and unwanted aspects

Concerning color, there is a stark contrast between the figure on the painting and the background. More specifically, the figure of the woman is predominantly delineated in white color, especially pale, ashen white, as far her apparel and facial complexion are concerned, while there are also various hues of grey, with respect to her hair and accessory feather. These white and grey shades are vividly contrasted with the prevailing red and crimson hues of the background (viz. the drape, armchair, and table). Moreover, one can detect colors of dark green (jewelry), some beige on the left (pillar), and darker or lighter shades of blue on the right side of the canvas (sky), which all in concert and in addition to the subtle purple hue forming the sun or moon exude a certain dramatic sentiment. Also, there is brown, which often easily segues into gold (viz. books and attire details respectively). The main contrast of colors between white and red would be interpreted as serving the purpose of rendering the figure of the woman, and especially her face, the focal point of the work, despite, paradoxically enough, the lush red shades at the background. Bearing that in mind, the significance of the woman’s face will be enlarged upon later, when discussing aspects of her identity.

This art work is done by Josephine Wall. This work is an abstract art painting. This painting is a three dimensional space that will give you a different illusion of what the girl could be thinking about. It give a perspective of peace in the land. The picture give you a feeling of it may be a spring time or a summer day that she is thinking of and the weather is nice and pleasant. The painting of this picture looks as if the girl is having happy thoughts of everybody is getting along with each other. It also capture an image of the people on a hill enjoy the outside just going by their everyday life. In this picture the artist gives a lot of composition of contrast colors like blue, orange and some green. I see that a lot of the orange is

The actual lines within this painting include the easel to the left, a long vertical line. The high ceilings within this painting also create horizontal lines. The paintings within the painting also create their own horizontal lines. Together, they create implied lines across the background. The walls on the right side of the image show vertical lines moving upwards, creating high ceilings as well. The lines within this painting work to show the depth of this room and cause the viewer to look from the background of the painting to the foreground. There are organic lines creating the individuals and the dog sitting in the foreground as

Line: There is a line forming around Marilyn’s lip. Another place that I can see a line on the painting is the hair.

Without the historical background related to the painting, I just glanced at this weird one thinking about what visual qualities make me select it as an obvious one. Some characters have only parts of bodies highlighted. Highlighted parts of bodies are distorted in agony; screaming faces of woman, dead head of a baby, crying horse's and bull's heads, hands have knife and lamp, broken leg, mouths are open, eyes are in another place. There are some things in the background; burning building and house, empty building. At first sight, I could see only light, white part of bodies instead hidden, black parts of character's bodies. Several

Lines are utilized when in shadows and hard edges.the artist uses a combination of dark smudges, different brush strokes, and more frequent lines to give the appearance of shadows in the painting. Degas gives the impression of distance by painting the girls on the left smaller and their location on the floor.

The right side of the painting shows a mirror with the woman’s reflection in it. The colors on this side are much darker and charcoaled and seem to portray what is on the inside of this woman, whether it be her intentions, inner personality, or the way she views herself. The usage of cool colors on the mirror image implied a shadowy realm of uncertainty that may help expressing the inner thoughts and unconscious mind of the girl. The great difference between the colors used on the girl herself and her mirror image may indicate the difference between inner thoughts and outer appearance of people. What I first noticed about this reflection was the eye. It is completely brown around a shadow of black. It seems to be hollow, and intensified by the red splattered right next to it. Many believe the eye is the window to the soul, and if that is what Picasso was trying to portray then I believe he saw bad intentions and evil on the inside of this woman. The face inside of the mirror seems to be untrustworthy and unwelcoming. It also could represent an inner personality that did not match the physical one.

Virgin Mary is reading a book, which is most likely to be the bible. This object built the parallelism with the bible story. This element adds the complexity of emotion toward the painting, resonating with her facial expresson.
