While a distinction between fine art and illustration is often made, the work of Winslow Homer certainly appears to bridge the two. When comparing Homer's engravings to his paintings the artistic intent of his work is evident. Often Homer would take an engraving and develop it further as an oil painting. However, Homer occasionally would reverse this process. This interchangeability between a wood engraving, intended for mass reproduction, and oil painting reveals that regardless of medium Homer's

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is generally considered one of the greatest painters in European art history and the most important in Dutch history. Rembrandt was also a proficient printmaker and made many drawings. His contributions to art came in a period that historians call the Dutch Golden Age (roughly equivalent to the 17th century), in which Dutch culture, science, commerce, world power and political influence reached their pinnacles. In all, Rembrandt produced around 600 paintings, 300 etchings

2015 the Brigham Young University Museum of Art is exhibiting Deco Japan: Shaping Art and Culture, 1920-1945, an exhibition curated by Dr. Kendall Brown. The exhibit was collected in an attempt to detail the cultural transformation that took place in Japan from the Roaring Twenties all the way through the end of World War II. The exhibit displays the tension between the deep national culture and the up and coming cosmopolitan lifestyle. Dr. Brown gathered art of all variations, ranging from paintings

2D Analysis “Nude Combing Her Hair” Pablo Picasso. 1906 The piece I chose is Pablo Picasso’s “Nude combing her hair”. I first saw it at the Kimbell Art Museum and remember admiring it. It was finished in 1906 and is oil paint on canvas. The main (only) figure in this painting is a nude woman, standing, who appears to be combing through her hair with her fingers after bathing. Although abstract, Picasso creates a very elegant, raw, and naturalistic form using color, space, and his depiction

structures we were introduced to weren’t what they were intended to be. Not exactly a pure restoration, per se. In fact, all of the buildings there, mostly houses, aren’t just remade for the sole purpose of residing there. They are monuments, or even museums, left behind as mementos for

This building was designed to house some of the worlds most exquisite modern art, so naturally the design had to be modern. It is constructed mostly of high-tech steel and glass, with a beautifully designed exoskeleton adding to its complexion (Renzo Piano Building Workshop Official Site). Renzo Piano has designed and brought to

While at RIT, he studied with Bruce Davidson, Peter Turner and Car Chiaraenza, with whom he held frequent discussions on how photography could be different. After RIT, Uelsmann went to Indiana University where he changed his degree to a Master of Fine Arts degree. He graduated with an M.S. and an M.F.A at Indiana University in 1960, where he studied with Henry Holmes Smith, who had

satisfied in the best way. The billowing drapes and clean folds of the costumes, the chiming voices of the actors sharing song and monologue, and the swirling movement of the dancing all added to the newfound fervor I later found in the theatrical arts. At the moment, I interpreted it to be only wild interest, something I had not experienced in a while. I came to the show knowing I would enjoy it, there was no doubt, but I had not expected being touched emotionally to the point where the experience

The most initially striking element is contrast. By filling a full page with a dark strikingly close up photograph and leaving the background of the right stark white Brody keeps your eye consistently bouncing back and forth between both pages. The type provides a clear path for the viewer’s eye to travel fluidly around the page. The use of different font sizes and multiple baselines within the word “bounce”

There is no denying that art has been constantly redefined throughout history. Art has consistently been catered to fit what society wants and needs it to be, from realism to abstract and idealized Greek statues to intricate cathedral ceilings. However the Impressionist Movement of the 19th century brought a whole new dimension to the art community. Oscar-Claude Monet, a founders of the Impressionism, used his art to not only showcase a subject but to present it in a way that was completely extraordinary
