Timurid Mihrab Essay

The color tone is mostly analogous in the mural; however, there are complementary colors in detail elements such as the artist uses blue and green for large areas to represent river and mountains, uses red and orange to paint houses, huts, horses, small roads and clothes in the village to create emphasis point. For the color tone that artist uses, the harmony of blue and green of the most of the areas can represent the abundance of water or farms in the village and a rainbow ribbon shows what the leader gives to people in the village as

The work is very smooth and fluid making it appear much like a photograph. The oil is not built up on top of itself keeping it very two dimensional. The colors vary between dark and light throughout the painting. In the top right corner, the sun, outside the painting, shining down, aluminates the castle and also the lone tree at the bottom left corner. Besides the back cliff, the rest of the painting is in shadow and displayed in a much more melancholy tone. The colors that Cole focuses on, to display the sharp contrast between rock and nature, are mostly dark greens and gold. The striking blue of the river stands out dramatically from the rest of the colors and draws the eye after the initial citing. The grey in the cloud is the only place where I can find that shade of gray in the work, and it sets itself apart from the snow white clouds in the background. The color helps draw the eye immediately to the castle on the hill. My eyes then fallow the flow of the river down to the tree, which is illuminated by a beam of sunlight.

Secondly, the light and colors help to enhance the piece. Due to the oil painting,

For color choices, Titan used a mixture of cool and warm colors: dark green on the curtain, blue on the sky, red on the mattress and skirt, yellow on the dog and human figure. The whole image is realistic as well, and there are many repeating patterns on the mattress. Both of painting has a great depth of filed. However, Giorgione used atmosphere perspective: trees and clouds far away seem more small and blurry but closer objects are bigger and in focus. Titian used liner perspective. The floor tiles, the patterns of the couch and the tapestry on the wall also help to create liner perspective. No objects suggests the time: it could either be dawn or sunset. Two maids are looking for something which

The effect that forms are that of biometric feel beside the people they have more of geometric feel. The colors do impact this artwork greatly because each color is harsh and sot of clash with one another. The colors are black, gold, red, brown, white and light blue. The colors are mixed. The color on the mother's dress is a harsh black versus that of her children which are every light and airy. The hue of the piece of art is very light in some spaces but in other places it can be very dark. The saturation is very different in many places if you look at the woman's dress and in the dog, you can see that it is very saturated but if you look at the two girl's dresses you can tell that its less saturated. When

The feel of the picture lends to emotions of unease and recognition of sexual innuendo. The colors of the painting are vibrant, but for the most part are dark. The heavy tones and shades of the colors are well balanced throughout the piece. It can be noted that the brightest shades of color are found on areas depicting the actual woman. In areas that are understood as landscape, the colors are more dreary and create a sense of instability. Even Hess observes that the

The warm brown color of the plum blossom tree and the intense coloring of the kimono force the eye to focus more on the positive figures. The plum blossoms themselves feature a light violet color, adding to the delicacy of the flower. The Warbler, which is a positive figure, is somewhat lost by color -- the value of the bird is faint and hard to read. My subjective impression on the coloring of the picture is that Settei used color purposefully. When I first viewed the work, my eye was focused mostly on the kimono and the plum blossom tree.

Texture and pattern are very easy to identify in this painting. The street’s cobblestones show texture and pattern in the way that they are arranged. Texture is also demonstrated through the paint strokes on the buildings, the tree, and even the sky. These thick, uneven strokes add a layer of depth and texture to all elements of the painting.

We can also see the use of black shades to create a hole at the bottom part of the rock. With his excellent use of colors, we can identify the good, healthy and green grass from the bad, unhealthy, brown grasses. Looking beyond the main focus of the painting, he uses colors to separate the sky from the land in the background creating a solid form of perspective on the painting. He also uses colors to create water forms as seen behind the young character. Now, for the sky, he uses shades of white to magnificently differentiate the thick clouds from the light ones. He also uses this to create a source to light to the whole area. All these put together creates a splendid, realistic and familiar atmosphere for the viewers to relate with.

     Color values are strong in this painting. It goes back to what I said about color, but I believe the soft hue of the blue walls against the strong hue of the bed frame and floor provides enough contrast to pull you into the painting. I also like the strong hue of the table. It connects the visual of looking at the chairs and the bed. When you look at the table, your eye cannot help but look at the other furniture.

Together they share an extreme amount of unresolved tension. Their dynamic relationship encourages the sense of urgency within this painting. This extreme dynamism is represented in the colors of black and white. These two tones are the highest contrast of value within the entire painting and within the color wheel itself, therefore, a viewer’s eye will go straight towards these two tones and automatically begin comparing them and creating a relationship between the two figures just on the tones alone. Everything that is in this painting is important, every figure has something to contribute and every stance and action has a

Caravaggio made lightness and darkness of color within this painting by adding value. The way he uses value is by making the background black and adding colors to the front of the painting. However, they aren’t just any kind of colors, the colors that he uses are set to a dark tone. This makes the entire painting feel more intense and suspenseful. Especially, since the material that is in the background is red, red usually meaning evil.

Picasso uses texture and an array of complementary and analogous colors characterized by a range of hues, values, and light to create a dramatic difference between the two subjects. The dominant and repetitive colors in the painting are green, yellow, lavender, red, and blue. The use of color, especially when used with the different geometric shapes, creates both a range of values as well as contrasts to adjacent areas. The profile and frontal head have lighter values such as yellow and lavender, whereas the reflection, painted with a rough charcoal texture has a dominance of blue, especially around the face, reflecting darker values. The use of complementary colors such as red and green create a brighter canvas, while the use of analogous combinations such as green and yellow, and green and blue blend well together. Overall, the reds and greens are bright throughout, giving intensity to the painting while the use of soft blue in the reflection, is not as intense and warm. Picasso also uses complementary colors of red and green against lavender in the figure to make the figure prominent. In the reflection, analogous colors are used throughout, but predominately on the top with purple

Color and technique is another major aspect of The Kiss. In creating this painting, Klimt gained inspiration from his travels to the Byzantine, the mosaics in Ravenna in particular. This inspiration is reflected in his use of gold and the arrangement of shapes. While the majority of the painting was done using golden hues (he uses actual gold leaf to achieve this affect), Klimt manages to apply all of the colors necessary to achieve intrigue and convey his message clearly. He uses vibrant colors such as; blue, purple, and green in the flowerbed. He strategically uses the gold by integrating it into the robes and vines that swathe over the figures and over the woman’s feet. He continues his theme of contrast and juxtaposition in his use of complimentary colors. The green in the flowerbed contrasts with the red in the woman’s dress, making her dominate and stand out. This contrast is even shown in the skin tones of the figures. The man has an olive complexion and the woman has a peach complexion, making her stand out

The artist uses color by mixing blue, white,yellow and brown which are mostly cool colors are used. The artist uses white and yellow creating a spiral effect and draws attention to the sky. The artist uses dark blues and greens to complement with touches of mint green showing the reflection of the moon. The artist uses rich colors of the night and which corresponds with the true character of this Starry Night whereby colors are used to show emotion.
