Jackson Pollack The Deep

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. The transcendental nature of the Hudson River attracted many landscaping artists who were captive of its beauty. For instance, the Hudson River Art School did not had a physical location but it was a group of artists driven by their passion, to walk on foot along the Hudson River to appreciate nature and to be inspired by its beauty. Thomas Cole was the principal founder of the Hudson River Art School. When he first came to American as a youth in 1825, he visit Catskill and soon was impressed by the Hudson River scenery that he decided to settled there. Thus, areas like the Catskill Creek, the Kaaterskill Clove, and the Great Wall of Manitou where the most attractive places for

Actually, with this piece, I want to express the idea that a human’s personality is getting shaped by many external elements, such as environment, society, and politics. With those seven portraits that you mentioned, I want to show different moods and feelings (I like to call them existences) which comes from external elements that I express in They, I, We (Second Stage). I mean, this there many things which affect us, a lead us into some moods that are sometimes are odd. So, I try to depict those strange feelings.

Thomas Hart Benton was an American painter and muralist during the 1930’s. He was born in Neosho, Missouri in 1889, and died in 1975. Benton grew up in a very political family. Because he grew up in a political family, that influenced some of his earlier works as an artist. At age seventeen, he moved to Chicago to study under Frederick Oswald at the Art Institute of Chicago (Source one). Just two years after he arrived at the Art Institute, he began to study Synchronism, which focused on the musical qualities of color. He then moved to New York in 1913 to experiment with his new found interest in Synchronism. He created beautiful pieces of art in his time in New York. Soon after he moved to New York, he was drafted for World War I.

The Breakaway was painted by Thomas William Roberts, an Australian artist known for his national narratives. This is demonstrated through, The Breakaway, as it tells the story of a drover trying to prevent a mob of sheep from running away from the pack. During the 1890’s there was a drought which is depicted in the painting, with dust being kicked up and dry, arid landscape. In 1891 a shearers strike began leading to the formation of the Australian Labor Party which suggests the lack of assistance that the drover is in need of.

Between the years 1932 through 1933 Mexican Muralist Diego Rivera created what is said to be his most successful work ever. This particular mural is called “Detroit Industry”. The name was quite literal because the mural depicted just that, the Detroit industry. It is a fresco painting which means it is painted on fresh wet plaster. The fresco painting consist of twenty-seven panels on four different walls North ,South, East, and West. The two main panels on the North and South walls depict laborers working at Ford Motor Company's River Rouge Plant. In May of 2014 the mural reached national landmark status.

The majority of the brush strokes are small, vertical lines, with the occasional horizontal. In terms of structure, it’s not very visually appealing. There are circles of curved lines like rings on a tree, along with blocky lettering, against a mess of jagged lines and dripping paint. You’re first thought may be “It’d be nice to look at if it was cut into sections.” The colors are rich and vibrant, they’re beautiful until you’re distracted by the two chunks of circle at the top of the painting like a pair of eyes. Bright oranges and reds are almost, but not quite, dominated by shades of blue. The warm and cool colors balance each other out. There are small areas of gray and one little patch of a comforting yellow. The form of this piece is obviously a very important element, considering the painting itself even has a form and is not a sculpture. It’s also important to note that the two devices were once in motion and have been frozen in time, this is not

The 1933s was a period in great the depression. Everyone in Americans were hurt by the onset of the Depression. Many were unemployed and lived in shanty towns or Hooverville’s. Arts during this time reflect the struggle the nation faced to meet daily needs. For instance, this was illustrated by art work that shows people’s lives in shanty town. Namely, the piece Hooverville was painted depicting “desperation [which] is reflected in the flat color and barrenness of the land.” In addition, other popular arts depicted unemployed men moving across the states as hobos. In contrast, McEvoy’s piece taxi taxi was a social realism which “focus on communal identity and less on the formal personal focus of self-portraits.” The art content was essentially

Graffiti isn’t just some type of vandalism to private property in others eyes it can be considered as art.

Successful artists have the ability to invoke thought and emotions through their work. A picture possesses the ability to express a complete story without the use of a single word. These narratives may induce despondency, pleasure, hope, or several other emotions in an individual. However, this is only the case if the viewer takes note and pays attention. If they are successful in doing so, they will be aware of, or feel, what the artist is trying to convey. Jervis McEntee was able to achieve this effect through his work. More specifically, I felt similar emotions while looking upon the painting, Evening Landscape.

Pollack was a nature loving child. Since he grew up in the western part of America he had grown to love nature and animals. Most of his work was inspired by his childhood. Since he moved around a lot because of his Dad, especially at a young age he learned to take in and capture every moment especially of nature. He loved the way it made him feel. When it came to painting, Pollock had a lot of inspiration. Not only from teachers but, society itself. Even though he was a very awkward child everything made sense in his mind and he was able to bring his ideas to life on a

Going to The Art Institute of Chicago on Thursday, I hoped that inspiration would strike- perhaps a feature of the architecture, or an old sculpture would leap out at me. Yet, to my surprise, inspiration struck when I wasn’t expecting it. While trying desperately to find a restroom (the main

While both abstract and realistic depictions of the human form play important roles in performing arts, I prefer accurate arts of human body more. To me, the human figure is so perfect and beautiful that it deserves to be portrayed and recorded eternally. A painting or sculpture about human beings never fails to amaze me. There is a different kind of body art that I want to introduce. Alexa Meade is an American artist who invented a new way to pursue arts using human bodies and transforming them into a painting. Traditionally, artists portray models in canvas. Meade, however, turns 3D figures into 2D paintings by applying paints directly to the model. This is another example reinforcing how boundless our imagination and creativity

Even before Lester Johnson moved to New York City, the man had developed a definite style that hinted of being a future avant-garde, a rebel that took whatever he could use from the various artistic movements while leaving the rules and hindrances behind. One notable thing about this man is the critics, gallery owners, patrons, not even other artists knew exactly how to label him until the 1960’s. Until the day Johnson died, on May 30, 2010, this enigma routinely changed up in both the models numbers and subjects whenever his energy started to drop or the creative spirit cried out in frustration.,

The piece of I choose from ArtPrize 2015 is called Springtime, by Craig Crossey. It is a two dimensional, acrylic painting. The piece of art is a depiction of a farm, which includes a building and a set of mattress springs, both which are rusty (Berends, 2015).

Doris Salcedo has been a well-known artist since the early 1990s. Her art has demonstrated a great verity of emotions that closely relate to expressing pain, mourning, loss, and trauma. Salcedo was born in 1958 and grew up in the city of Bogota, Colombia. She obtained her fine arts degree in the Universidad de Bogata Jorge Tadeo Lozano at the age of 22. She later earned her Masters at New York University in the year 1984, only four years after receiving her bachelors. Since young, she became aware of the things surrounded her and it was those awareness’s, and her life experiences, that allowed her to obtained her inspiration for her artwork. Her artwork can be found all around the world such as in the Art Institution of Chicago, the National Gallery of Canada, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She obtained her first solo gallery show in the United States in the year 1994 in the Brooke Alexander Gallery in New York. Her inspirational work has impacted
