1. What do you think is the subject of the painting? What made you arrive at that conclusion? The subject that catches my eye first is Diego painted on Frida’s forehead. But because it’s a portrait, I feel as though Frida and Diego are both subjects.
Name: Tutor: Course: Date: The works of Vincent van Gogh and sol LeWitt and Japanese influence on European art 1. In drawing a comparison and contrast between the works of Vincent van Gogh and sol LeWitt, Vincent van Gogh’s application of symbolic colors and paint to express subjective emotion have created the basis of defining abstract expressionism, which started with the Americans after the World War II movement of art creation and presentation. LeWitt’s work, on the other hand, has been used as a basis for the use of traditional art materials during the creation of artworks. However, his use of traditional art materials had been improved, to involve the use of digital technology and computers to create and edit these materials. Some
In the painting by Jacques Louis David, The Emperor Napoleon in his study at the Tuileries, 1812 is a formal looking painting with dark colors and the painting is in focus unlike the Impressionism painting technique. The Neoclassicism painting technique is an easier painting to understand and has a classier technique than the other art styles. Impressionism art was established in the late 1800’s. Claude Monet was using the new Impressionism painting technique which included the combination of two or more pigments on a single wide paint brush, he also used what is called the ‘wet on wet’ method of painting that consisted of wet paint being painting over paint that was not yet dried. According to the artist Sayre, Impressionists painted mostly pictures of the Parisian lifestyle.
Opinion Paper on Chapter 4 Chapter four is all about style, form, and content. The chapter begins with a quote from Philip Johnson, which reads, “The duty of an artist is to strain against the bonds of the existing style.” This quote helps to set the stage for how the chapter is going to go. The chapter, Style, Form, and Content, lets readers in on the ideas of how art style is born, how art styles are different from one another, how art can be of the same style, yet completely different, how art can be appreciated, and so much more. Although the chapter is not very long, it is jam-packed with information for the ready, which is extremely important. The author fills readers in on what style is, along with what form and content are, all on the first page.
The distinctively visual is used throughout peter goldsworthys novel ' maestro ' and the painting By edward munch ' the scream ' 1893. there is some overlap between the distinctively visual techniques used by these writers and painters. This is done through the use of visual imagery, metaphor, exaggeration and the use of colour. The extended metaphor of peter goldsworthy “to describe the world is always to simplify its texture, to coarsen the weave: to lose the particular in general”, portrays that once you try to represent something, you lose something of its real life essence and that the act of writing about something in the world simplifies it. Both texts revel important insights into human experiences by showing the reader how the character
Art Criticism Task By: YD The painting I chose is by Greg Conley, it’s called “The Path Chosen”. By looking at the painting you can tell that the artist used a lot of different techniques to make it look unique, realistic and attractive. The artist used the technique wet-in-wet to slightly blur the painting. He also used the technique dry brush which is the opposite of the wet in wet technique, for it makes things very crisp and hard edged; this technique makes features come forward. In addition he used the method flat wash which is using one solid color (yellow in this case) from top to bottom.

A particularly interesting piece is the Portrait of Dr. Heinrich Stadelmann by the German painter Otto Dix. This essay seeks to deconstruct the many formal elements found in Dix’s Portrait of Dr. Heinrich Stadelmann, in order to shed light on how these factors shape ones perceptions of the work. Upon initial viewing, one feels particularly unsettled by this painting. The posture and expression of Stadelmann as painted by Dix is foreboding. His hair recedes back over his bulbous skull-like head.
In order to approach this comparison we must define each term first, so that way we could take a better evaluation of the art pieces shown below and point out the principles of design and principles of art being used by the artists. Neoclassicism was born out of a rejection of the Rocco and late Baroque styles in the middle of the 18th century. These artists wanted a style that could convey serious moral ideas such as justice, honor, and patriotism. The movement was a profoundly educational one, for its devotees believed that the fine arts could and should spread knowledge and enlightenment. Romanticism began in the same era but its approach had to do with the modern rather than the antique.
