Francisco De Goya Colossus

287 Words2 Pages

The painting labeled "Colossus" is attributed to the school of Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. For 200 years this work was attributed to Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Over the last few years it is recognized that his assistant Asensio Julia is most likely the painter of this artwork. Experts at the museum now believe The Colossus was painted by one of Goya 's assistants, whose initials may appear in a corner of the canvass. The final decision to remove Goya 's name from the painting followed a lengthy study by the Prado expert Manuela Mena, which the museum published yesterday. My interpretation of this artwork is that I personally find aesthetically beautiful because I love the mythology of the Greek titans. This painting displays so much

    In Frank Romero's painting "Going to the Olympics, 1984" it shows what L.A. is really is about. Frank Romero's focus is to show others how Los Angeles is being represented, showing the automobiles, hearts, palm trees & etc. He has little images that depict L.A. but they mean much to those who live in the city. My opinion on his mural is he shows what passion for your city really is about.

    Rudolfo Alfonso Anaya was born on October 30, 1937, to Rafaelita and Martin Anaya in Pastura, New Mexico, a small village located on the western edge of the Llano Estacado (the Staked Plains). He was the eighth of ten children (three of them from previous marriages by his parents). Rudolfo was born into a generation of Mexican-American families that experienced the culmination of the displacement of an agro-pastoral, self-subsistence economy by a wage-labor market economy. His father tended to withdraw from this process, while his mother, a devout Catholic, encouraged Rudolfo to explore, adapt, and achieve in the enveloping social world of the Anglo American. Early in his life, his family moved from Pastura to Santa Rosa, where he spent his

    One of the greatest conquistadors in history was Alexander III of Macedon, also known as Alexander the Great. Behind his accomplishments of taking down the dominant Persia and the mighty Egypt, stands a leader who is confident, driven, a risk taker, a great communicator, and is both tactically and technically proficient. Alexander the Great is a prime example of the army’s definition of an adaptive leader. The young conqueror began his path to becoming a leader when he took over his father’s kingdom at the age of sixteen.

    Taking art 1301 was one of the best decisions in my life, because I learned the true meaning of art, history plays a important part in art and there is art everywhere. I discovered that the art museum had so many great paintings and some of the artwork comes from the old times, like during the world war I and II , I did not know the museum would have amazing historical artwork. One thing I noticed is that some artist have created the same type of artwork they use one skill for all their paintings or statue for example Fred Wilson created the “ Were ancient Egyptians black,white,or brown” his artwork has the same faces created five time, but the only difference is the color of the statue. He used the same technics, which makes his art

  • Repressed Identity And Aesthetic Censorship In 'Thirteen Most Wanted Men'

    2215 Words  | 9 Pages

    The mural was ordered to be taken down by Robert Moses and in response to this Warhol suggested to cover the project with images of Moses. Moses did not like this idea. This suggestion functioned as a double entendre making light of both Moses in the literal as a representative of the authoritative state and in the figurative biblical sense as the Moses who was told by the Lord that man should not lie with man. Even further contextualized, the humour lies in the fact that Warhol did not want the removal of his work in the first place. The offer to cover the work with something more ‘acceptable’ such as Moses’ face is a figurative and literal act of repression brought about by the authoritative bodies that envelop Warhol in shame.

  • Analysis Of Picasso's Les Demoiselles Avignon

    No one could look at Picasso’s large painting of 1907, Les Demoiselles Avignon (fig.1-13 in the book) and call it aesthetically beautiful, but it is for many people, one of his most aesthetically interesting works. Nearly, 8 feet square, it would come to be considered one of the most of the first major painting of the modern era and one of the least beautiful. The titled, chosen not by Picasso but by a close friend, literally mean “the young ladies of Avignon”, but it’s somewhat tongue-in-check reference is specifically to the prostitutes of Avignon Street, the red-light district of Barcelona, Spain, Picasso’s hometown. We know a great deal about Picasso’s process as he worked on the canvas from late 1906 into early summer months of 1907, not only because many of his working sketches survive but also because the canvas itself has been submitted to extensive examination, including x-ray analysis. This reveals early version of certain passages, particularly the figure at the left and two figures on the

  • How Did Francisco Goya Contribute To Romanticism

    His brush work is so expressive and unique, unlike anything the people had seen before. Before, painting was focused on having precise brush strokes so that the piece was photorealistic, but now it is all about adding to the tone of the piece. His work is not focused on sharp edges but rather using the strokes to move the viewer’s eye all around the piece. For example, in his piece Saturn Devouring His Son, 1819-23, Goya captures the form in these broad expressive brush strokes. These strokes contribute to the overall emotion of the piece by allowing the viewer’s eye to move around the composition entirely , revealing the horrifying subject of the piece.
