Virgil Acevedo's Art Analysis

594 Words3 Pages

Pavel Acevedo’s Art symbolizes the roots of his culture and his home. People will bring their culture with them to their home to have that satisfaction of never forgetting where you come from or your struggles. Therefore he is not only bringing Oaxaca, Mexico to United states but also wants to represent California as well. When someone intends to display a purpose in their art it is either wanting to persuade or influence. Pavel wants to influence the world by bringing roots and struggles that tie to his culture while being in the State of California. Many of us migrate to U.S for a better life and opportunities.

    Referred to as “the best representative of the Mexican sculptural movement at the time” by Diego Rivera, I chose to do my research on Guatemalan painter and sculptor Rafael Yela Günther. I am attracted to his work because long before I knew who he was I saw some of his sculptures personally in Guatemala and I was truly impressed. Naturally my interest to know more about his artwork grew when I learned that Rivera had some influence on him during their time working together in Teotihuacan. Rafael Yela Günther was born on September 18, 1888 in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.

  • In The Mural, Going To The Olympics By Frank Romero

    986 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the mural,"Going to the Olympics" the painter Frank Romero portrays a wide variety of colors in his painting. The first thing I saw in the painting were most obviously the cars passing by with big hearts over them. This means that the drivers loved their cars maybe and loved to drive around Los Angeles. You can also see palm trees and the ocean behind the cars signifying that they're somewhere around Los Angeles where there is water. As we look up at the sky we can see an iron for some reason, a GoodYear Blimp which is quite common in the city of Los Angeles, a horse, and two men wrestling in the sky.

    Thus, visual text in Chicano art is a significant expression that often incorporates signs and symbols from ancient past and contemporary times to portray the history, heritage, memories and visions of Chicano society. Vargas asserts, “Chicano artists were perceived as important activists in official manifestos like El Plan Espiritual de Azatlán, which promoted nationalism, seeing art as the key to organization that transcends all religious, political, class, and economic factions or boundaries” (p. 12). Subsequently, a personal expression of the Chicano experience might have social or emotional impact without engaging in the polemics that accompany political art. For instance, Michigan artist and art teacher José Narezo had voiced his view in art; “I believe that art needs to be pure in the sense that it comes from the emotions within.” For Narezo, Chicano art represented a universal consciousness or humanistic attitude rather than a certain image, style or political allegiance.

    Subsequently, the contrasting imagery suggests that even if she were to re-enter the physical space of Mexico at that very moment, there would be no true ever-present Mexico to which she could refer to. For Kahlo, Mexico does not suggest either a conclusive national personality because that is impossible when the past was in ruins and the future was continually being compromised with modernity which is aptly represented in her painting as the roots of the Mexican plants stretched out and entwined with the power cords of the US loudspeakers (Volk 2000 177). As a result, the Self-Portrait not only complicates the notion of the emergence of a Mexican nation — which Rivera was working so hard to depict — but seems to parody his attempt to merge

    Introduction Visual and performing arts tend to act as separate entities within the field of education; considerably isolated from the majority of academia, these sectors are often considered to be secondary or elective options after completing primary education.
