Upon reflection for these exhibits, they all left their own mark on me and I was certainly blown away with some of the art works. In the Emily Carr exhibit there were multiple artists that had their own style and each was unique. My personal favorites in that gallery where; Artist: Emily Carr. Painting: Shore and forest (Cordova bay) My depiction: The dark oil paint on the paper kinda give this calming landscape a very rugged look to it. Almost unsettling. Lots of movement with the oil paint. Artist:
Throughout the history, art has played an irreplaceable role in shaping the culture by allowing human beings to express themselves. Art is a great tool to thoroughly explore and understand the story of humanity. Specifically, the oldest artifact was found in Africa, where humanity initiated. This artifact was dated to 30,000 BC, when humans struggled to survive in harsh nature, yet a sense of creativity was still kindled in them. Since then, art has become a timeless story-teller of human civilizations
success for the Art Gallery of New South Wales. In its short three-month run, the exhibition attracted an amazing 305,621 visitors. According to statistics, 54% of visitors travelled to the museum from outside the Sydney Metropolitan area. An additional 33% of visitors were attending the museum for the very first time, explicitly to visit the First Emperor exhibition. In terms of revenue, although exact figures have not been made available, in the 2010-11 financial year, the Art Gallery of New South
which they reappear in Scottish art. The discussion takes the form of a hypothetical exhibition which brings together examples of art from many periods and in a variety of formats. Rugoff (2006, p.46) states ‘exhibitions need to ask interesting questions, even unanswerable questions, instead of handing us tidy answers’. By bringing together cultural artefacts and works of art in one venue this exhibition raises questions about how objects come to be defined as art and whether our definitions depend
that related to art as a general consensus and how the idea of ‘beauty’ has influenced current viewers with their expectations for museums and galleries. With comments on my post such as “Actual art on [Reddit!?]” and “Art isn’t art unless it’s old” – it was at this point that I became more aware of Thomas Horsfall’s view of, what he put as, “arts bitterest enemies.” To elaborate further, Horsfall suggested in his paper, ‘Art in Large Towns…’ dated 1882, historical and modern art visually entices

As to identifying the sources of these variances, it will be essential to outline the unique machinations of both commercial art markets. Also, how cultural norms inform how the artistic process is perceived and, in turn, how artists present
Within his book Visual Time, which offers an unorthodox approach to the study of art history, Moxey writes: “The history of art faces the disconcerting possibility that the time it imagines, history’s very architecture, is neither uniform nor linear but rather multivalent and discontinuous (Moxey 1)”. Indeed, though time within the practice of art history may in actuality be anachronic, or without a distinct order, it is not regarded as so at Wellesley’s Davis Museum; here, the architecture of time
Appropriation of Indigenous Art For years, the natives of Canada have been pushed to the side, mistreated, and abused. As a result, topics relating to the Indigenous community are very sensitive. Recently, a Toronto gallery cancelled artist Amanda PL’s art show, in which she was set to exhibit Aboriginal art (Nasser 1).

of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. The Museum of Modern Art, designed by Philip L. Goodwin and Edward Durell Stone, was one of the earliest examples of the International Style (Ricciotti, 1985, p. 51). The Museum of Modern Art was established as an educational institution which displayed painting sculpture but also introduced photography, film, and industrial design (Ricciotti, 1985, p. 51). In contrast, the Kimball Art Museum’s purpose was to
