The oil on canvas Stage Fort across Gloucester Harbor (38 x 60 in) by Fitz Henry Lane in 1862 and Whalers (36 1/8 x 48 1/4 in) by Joseph Mallord William Turner in 1845 are two of the best examples.

The overall structure of this picture is centered around the whaling boat in the middle. The black shape in the lower left corner of the figure gave me the impression that it was like a whale wounded and raises its head. The color of the seawater around it is dyed to a different color by its blood. The white whaling ship is coming towards it. Under the sails there are three protruding triangles, looking like the look of death, approaching the whale. Since there are not human activities, I cannot tell if this picture is in any season. The whole picture of the background is gray, we can see the weather was very gloomy. The observer is looking up in the water from the lower right corner of this painting. Moreover, the spray of the waves on the lower right corner makes me feels like the observer has fallen into the water, he is struggling in the water.

The tone of the painting gives no meaning or emotion, and there are no artistic or expressive techniques used in the work to convey meaning. The painting encourages us to see things from the perspective of the British. Despite being severely outnumbered they seem to remain in the position of power. They are displayed in a manner of prominence in comparison to the Aboriginals, depicted with more depth and detail.

    Art Abstract- "Cora Kneeling at the Feet of Tamenund" Of course, the Hudson River region during the eighteenth century was not all about Ferries, Canals, Railroads, and commerce. Even more, the unique beauty of the Hudson River Scenery and its mountainous is considered to be a manifestation of god.

    Even the woman’s frame and posture seem to follow the lines created by the railings of the viewing box. The railings are also implied lines, the first thing our eyes go to is the woman, and then we follow the railings to the man who has his gaze set on the woman. The man’s gaze gives us implied lines that lead us back to the main focus of the painting, the woman. The artist also uses light and dark to guide our eyes to the important parts of the artwork. Most of the artwork is dark, while the woman and the man looking at her are in the light.

  • Henri Matisse The Open Window Analysis

    874 Words  | 4 Pages

    This helps to create a close up look at the view outside the window suggesting the intimacy between the artist and the habitat outside. This is because the focus is almost wholly given to the view outside the window. The view, which is embellished by the presence of flowers sitting on the windowsill, and creepers climbing on the railing, is located in the center of the composition. Despite the lack of a line of symmetry and any logic or geometric order, Matisse has been able to draw the attention of the viewer’s eye through the use of bright colours, almost fluorescent, which were used to portray the calm sea with its floating blue boats, and the sky tinted with the colours of the sunset. The calm sea at the horizon is painted with unreal tones of pink, sky blue, and violet whereas the boat, painted with tones of indigo, orange and green, seem to move along with the light breeze.
