A comparative analysis of two works by 20th and 21st century artists, Edgar Degas and John Bramblitt, where a discussion of their lives, their techniques and of course their works comes into focus. One of the main comparisons between these two artists is how visual impairments in both their cases affected their works. Whilst Degas’s works became more hurried and quick although not losing his precision, Bramblitt’s work still remained patient and calculated. Dancers ca. 1900 by Degas is a study

This paper is going to be a close examination of Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of Matilda Stoughton de Jaudènes, an oil canvas dating from the year 1794. Initially, there is going to be provided a formal analysis of the work of art in question as far as the elements of Art are concerned. Thereafter, attention will be drawn to how the sitter is conveyed through the artist’s artistic choices on the painting. With reference to that, multiple aspects of the piece will be discussed as to the way in which

The Purkersdorf Sanatorium and the Fusion of Function and Design Stark white and machine-like from a distance, the Purkersdorf Sanatorium designed by Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann emanates a feeling of sterility. However, the building also exhibits a hint of luxurious charm upon closer observation. As the first major commission for the Wiener Werkstätte company, Josef Hoffmann was determined to introduce his forward looking ideas to the era. Through the sanatorium, Hoffmann successfully demonstrated

Starry Sky, this painting that keeps haunting me” (Lewandowski). Starry Night Over the Rhone and Starry Night would be the culmination of his thoughts and efforts. However, even though they are a part of the same collection, these paintings contain stark differences compared to each other. Mostly, these differences are found in the former painting. Compared to the latter, this version contains much calmer colors, and the style is much less aggressive, with less emphasis on the stars and more emphasis

I remembered there was a time when “go home and play Nintendo” was a vernacular amongst kids in America. Since its inception in the 1970s, Nintendo has become the generic name for a game console with its easy control, simple plots, and beloved game characters from Pikachu to Mario to Link. And in the last decade, people who had never played games before jumped out of their sofas and threw their arms around to play baseball and bowling on their Wii consoles, proving Nintendo games didn 't hinder kids

Art 311 Fall 2007 W 7:00 11/07/07 Formal Analysis The west wing of the J. Paul Getty Museum holds several wonderful 18th and 19th century paintings. Two such paintings are “The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis” by Jacques Louis David, 1818; and “Belisarius” by Francois Gerard, 1797. Both of these paintings are extremely refined oil paintings, and both are representational figurative paintings, each with two figures. In

Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Liebeskind, Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid. Modern day ‘starchitects’ who - through their practice of deconstructivist architecture - have heavily influenced the overall approach to today’s architecture. But what exactly is deconstructivist architecture? Is it a derivative of postmodernist principles, or something of its own entirety? Through the analysis of particular modern day architects and their works, deconstructivism ascertains its emergence as a separate architectural form

finding order in everything in the universe. Its primary actors sought to show nature as orderly and fundamentally simple. Leonardo Da Vinci, the epitome of the Renaissance Man, was not the first to apply these ideas of geometric order and patterns to art, but he may be the most well known. Da Vinci used mathematical concepts like linear perspective, proportion and geometry in much of his artwork. Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, a town 50 kilometers west of Florence in what is now Italy

I viewed Fernand Léger’s “Composition with Tree Trunks” (painted in 1933, using oil paints on canvas) at the Dallas Museum of Art in their permanent collection, on September 17, 2016. The painting is placed on the second floor, within a collection of 20th-century European art. This work visually yells at passersby, begging them to look at it as they move up the staircase. One is invited to stand at the entrance of the level and contemplate this painting’s loose form and captivating use of color and

Analysis of: American Legion Convention-Dallas: Street photography by Garry Winogrand Skip, Philadelphia: A photograph by George Krause Art is such an eternal concept and part of our lives. It lives on through generations, transcending many periods, and can speak through many mediums. Art is a way of expression, when nothing else can capture, but is something that can be interpreted in many ways. I chose photography—that which best portrays mankind, in that it hides nothing and only
