Albert Bierstadt

Two painters in history are known for their abilities to depict scenes in such realistic manners that you would never know they are actually producing paintings. These painters are named Johannes Vermeer and Albert Bierstadt. Both men came from different times and ethnic backgrounds. Dutchman, Johannes Vermeer was born in the year 1632 and passed away in 1675. Over his lifetime Vermeer used a style of painting that causing modern day historians and art lovers to struggle to figure out how he painted

Albert Bierstadt was one of the greatest landscape artists in history (Albert Bierstadt). His naturalistic landscape scenes of the unsettled American West brought about the need to preserve the land; in 1872, the United States Congress passed the Yellowstone Park Bill therefore creating the first national park in the world (Sierra Nevada). One of Albert Bierstadt more iconic paintings is titled the Sierra Nevada; it was painted in the year 1872. He uses different lines, shows incredible texture,

Exploration Document Ashley Morrison HUM200 Cultural Artifacts My first work is "La Primavera" written by the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi in 1723. “La Primavera” is one of four violin concertos, each capturing moods and illustrating stories related to a specific time of year. Each section within this movement illustrate the most beautiful scenes of the spring season, including birds, babbling brooks, and a thunderstorm. (Soomo, n.d). My second work is an oil on canvas painting, titled “The

The painting I have chosen to write about is Puget Sound by Albert Bierstadt. His painting is representational because you can clearly see the details in the painting and you could imagine the painting would be of a real place. His work has been said to be more naturalistic rather than realistic since naturalism comes straight from the artists view and imagination. Bierstadt never actually visited this place. He painted from his own imagination from other places he has been and people he has seen

Albert Bierstadt was a painter most remembered for his dramatic and large masterpieces that focused on extreme color and contrast, especially with lighting. However, when it comes to his painting, Mt. Hood, Oregon, he tends to defy those preconceived ideas. Painted in the early 1860’s, this painting is representative of Bierstadt’s earlier artwork. He uses lighter brushstrokes, a brighter and more monochromatic color palette, and is depicting a minimalist scene in its natural state (Figure 1). The

The painting that I choose to write my art paper on is Albert Bierstadt, Puget Sound on the Pacific Coast you can find it on page 33 in our textbook. I chose to write on this painting for several reasons that I am about to go in to. The subject of this painting to me is a picture of the Pacific coast when a rainstorm is starting to come inland. The context is Indians on boats just gotten to the coast to avoid the storm that has already started at sea. The painting also has many other elements that

believing your thoughts and equations. The fact that they believe them does not make you a scientist until you can prove your theory. Albert Einstein for decades had the best thoughts but was not consider a scientist until he had physically proved his theory. Albert Einstein was considered a middle-class Jew. He was born March 14, 1879 in Württemberg, Germany. Albert Einstein family relocated to Munich, Germany and he began to go to school there. When he was a going to school things that got his

In The Stranger, Albert Camus allows the main character to tell the story in order to give the reader an experience of his own. Obviously, with a novel also comes language, which Camus incorporates cleverly as a way to indirectly illustrate Meursault’s thoughts about certain situations. Although the novel represents a postmodern setting, the author shifts the overall meaning. In The Stranger, Camus applies a unique literary style as a power that deflects blame from Meursault, the antiheroic character

Camus and Mulisch present that the past and present are interrelated. The authors do this through the two characters, Meursault and Anton. Through Meursault, we see that his past actions affect the outcome of his trial. Through Anton, we see that his present situation constantly brings him back to his past despite him trying to escape it. Thus the authors stylistically link the past and present to demonstrate that they are inevitably related, where certain events are unavoidable or the past is undeniable

In this essay I will argue that my practice is contemporary by showing 21st century influences. I will do this by discussion of themes and practices of other artists that I am interested in, evaluating the issues they address. In particular Francis Alys, George Shaw and Social Realism. I first realised my interest in manual labour, menial jobs and cycle of working, when I was travelling, and this influenced my work. Whilst visiting the Yves Saint Laurent gardens in Marrakech there was an employee
