Painting

classical myths that painters used as a subject in their painting. The beauty of the story is that it encompasses the journey of true love, while also incorporating a metaphysical allegory of Psyche as a human soul (Bulfinch). Like painters of the Renaissance, I, too, was captivated by this subject and was especially intrigued by the painting. This painting by Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée is unique as it shows the same subject and event as other paintings, yet it has a slightly different title. Instead of

In his essay, “Modernist Painting” (1960), Clement Greenberg seeks to lay principles for evaluating the progression of art to modern painting. Greenberg makes a lot of evaluations and assessments about modern paintings that are credible and can be held to a high standard. Despite his best efforts, some of his assertions are shrouded in generalizations and lack the necessary premises to be established as entirely objective and affirmative. Greenberg claims that the Old Masters created space one could

will be an analysis of the development of Japanese landscape painting, analyzing the historical context behind these paintings and what led to the changes in style. Both of these paintings are representative of their specific culture during this rapidly changing time and these changes will be discussed in relation to the artwork. I am going to be discussing Japanese landscape painting, the outside influences shaping Japanese landscape painting but also focusing on the internal elements of Japanese culture

For my analysis paper, I decided to write on painting. The painting that I chose to write about is called Liliana and it was done by Jillian Lee. The painting itself is 60 by 40 inches and was worth $13,500. I went to Old Towne Gallery in Park City to see this painting and many others when I was deciding what to write this paper on. As I was looking through all of the paintings and sculptures this one in particular caught my eye because it was not what I would traditionally call art and it was

The beautiful painting that caught my eye was the “Voiceless” by Titus Kaphar. I found this painting at the “Virginia Museum of Fine Art” in Richmond, Virginia. Titus Kaphar was an american painter and was born in 1976. Kapher used his own representation of the eighteenth and nineteenth century painting for Voiceless, and he finished this prepossessing structured painting in 2010. Titus used an oil on linen for this canvas. It has a very large canvas, the size of it was approximately about four feet

The two paintings I chose for this question were A self portrait with cropped hair by Frida Kahlo, and Wrist Corsage by Lisa Yuskavage. They both intrigue me because they are both making bold statements on the female appearance and what it means to be a female and what society views as feminine. In Kahlo’s painting, she pictured herself in a chair having cut off all of her hair and wearing her husband’s suit instead of her usual blouse and skirt getup. This was painted at a time when she and her

Formal analysis of painting The Dying Mazzini Is death always painful? In his 1873 portrait, The Dying Mazzini (30 1/8” X 39 ½”, Providence, RISD Museum), Italian realist painter Silvestro Lega captures the final hours of Mazzini Morente’s life. In this painting, rather than depict the terror of death, a topic which people dislike and always associate with separation, fear, agony and sadness, Lega shows an incredibly peaceful and serene scene of dying Mazzini. With his eyes closed

The earth and the air is an oil painting by the French Surrealist Yves Tanguy. It is one of the modern art paintings in the Cone Collection, in the Baltimore Museum of Art. It is created by Tanguy in 1941. It is about 30” x 40” wide with a wooden frame. The background colors divide the piece into mainly two sections, the top and the bottom part. The top part is about 3/5 of the whole piece. It is painted in blue and white, like a watercolor-like sky without any subject matters. It has a dreamy feeling

natural world first hand is a deeply spiritual experience. My wish is to absorb, understand and share this marvel thoroughly as possible through painting. Painting, which makes thought and feeling visible, rendering the invisible visible, is also a meditation on nature closer to poetry than description. In retrospect, embarking on a life devoted to painting it now seems only natural that the landscape would be my primary choice of subject matter. There were other significant reasons to turn to landscape

The artists I picked is Angelica Kaufmann. The piece chosen is Torn Between Music and Painting done in 1792. She was one of the few artists that I found that was a female in a male dominating time. Angelica was known for her art in two different era’s, Rococo and Neoclassical. This piece is one she produced during her second marriage while residing in London. The history behind piece, is it is a self-portrait. Angelica not only was a gifted painter she also loved to sing. Art was dear to her as
