I live inside my head. It's as if Vincent van Gogh's 'Field of Poppies' symbolizes a good day for me. From its hues of remembrance to the idea of their being good on the other side of life and like nothing its beauty becomes everlasting strokes of sheer darkness. Up close, the once Van Gogh painting has turned into a Baroque portrait mastered by Caravaggio. Some would think the portrait is being depicted through rambles of obscurity and fear, however, it's shadows and realistic observations will teach anyone, including myself, how to see the burst of colors clouded by listlessness. My emotions are like both paintings - both masters of work shouldn't be overlapping one another, yet the very thought of it manages to make my mental state feel
The appealing factor of this paintings comes from its message and juxtaposition of colours and stroke
After reading it, Mr. Notkins’ Artist Statement really opens your eyes as to what the piece is trying to convey and you change the way you thought the piece was assembled. The piece is much more obvious than other famous paintings and Notkins doesn’t seem to care about that. After reading the artist's statement my views and thoughts
Philosopher Alain De Botton uses Vincent Van Gough to persuade his audiences into seeing and embracing our environments so that we can full understand the extent of their impact on society/us, “It was for Van Gogh the mark of every great painter to allow us to see certain aspects of the world more clearly” this evaluative statement highlights De Botton's and Van Gough's attempt to convince the respondents of their neglectfulness to their elements in their travels and everyday lives. As Van Gough’s distinct style of representing forms expresses his emotions of society, “Artists could paint a portion of the world and in consequence open the eyes of others to it”, said by Alain De Botton suggests that artists eyes are open to the world and it is those that we see it through. Like wise in Ljalkaindirma, Albert Namatjira uses his cultured beliefs of traditional Aboriginal customs demonstrated by his use of vector lines and light to give the painting depth and meaning connecting it to the traditional Aboriginal relationship between their land and culture. Namatjira builds upon this through his use of vector lines, which immediately draw the respondents towards the centre of the mountains allowing the respondents to allow themselves to identify the other aspects of the painting that extend the landscape
Throughout this semester as a class we have gone over many different terminology, seen many artists from all different countries and time periods. We have also learned about different kinds of art and media that the Artist work with. Over the entire semester I have gained a greater appreciation and understanding for art. Taking all of the new information that I learned this semester I choose three pieces of artwork from the St. Louis Art Museum. Two are similar to each other and the other is very different.
Both works of art convey that avoiding responsibility can result in making bad choices that can hurt you as well as others in
I see a peaceful, slightly uncomfortable, but enjoyable sail in beautiful clear water. Dorothy Allison implies that everyone sees something different in a painting and that “if we were to reveal what we see in each painting, sculpture, installation, or little book, we would run the risk of exposing our secret selves” (595). My “secret self” is one that lived on a boat in the crystal clear water of the Caribbean and sailed on the open ocean and stared at the waves when there was no one else around. Because of that I see this painting as a peaceful experience instead of one in rough sickening
As soon as I got my first glimpse on this painting I knew it was the one I wanted to talk about. The piece Suburban Landscape in turn really moved me. I can actually picture myself being there. I see me at home with my family, my mom, my dad, and little sister sitting on the couch. I see my all my friends that I had and all the fun, stupid, crazy, and exciting moments we have had.
I chose these works of art because they had many similarities when I began to do my research. These two work of art should be compared because they have the same building structure and although they were
Some emotions that I am getting from this painting would be freedom and happiness. This genre painting shows scenes from everyday life. I feel this way because the people in the painting are doing what you would regularly see such as folding clothes. Throughout this painting, I can see many things
Same subject matter to draw two female figures, yet they revealed opposite characteristics and techniques on their canvas, and the paintings contrast in these ways such as color, brushwork, and space.
Along the line of the aforementioned article, the chosen blues and white of the night sky represent the vulnerability of Van Gogh’s feelings and mental state depicting the almost constant depression that plagued
In art, color is very personal and subjective, and gives different meaning to different people. However, in this Van Gogh piece, it is clear what the colors are used for. The blue found in the man’s overalls suggests uneasiness, melancholy and distress. Blue is unanimously associated with sorrow, and it is clear that in this piece, the subject is suffering immensely. The color is used to compliment the feelings the audience perceives from this artwork.
I believe that the painting was more true to me, because it captured the full effects
In the 18th century, another one of the greatest artist of all time, Vincent Van Gogh illustrated a very personal painting. The Starry Night is now one of the most widely known paintings in the world, but the story and meaning is not. Both artist used dark and grim themes when it came to their creations, and that is what draws the public to them. In today 's society we are able to relate to the deeper and more mentally touching symbols of these pieces of art. Andrew Wyeth’s painting, Christina’s World shows a young woman in a empty field looking up at a grim farmhouse on a rustic summer day.
It was written when Plath’s marriage to Ted Hughes was in difficulty and she was suffering with depression. We are given an insight into the her inner feelings and trouble. She uses dark, disturbing and graphic imagery which reflects her mind at the time she was writing the poem. The state she describes is almost terrifying. The description of the poppies in the opening lines is positive.
