While on these trips to the west, Remington would collect materials to use as props to create illustrations, paintings, and bronzes in his studio back in New York. He would take photos, and use them as notes, and he would also sketch everything in such great detail into notebooks for future references. Frederic Remington produced over 3,000 signed paintings and drawings, but he was best known for his sculptures, particularly for his bronze sculpture the Bronco Buster. When I first saw the Bronco Buster, I could not help but notice how lively it looked. The sculpture has so much detail and movement in it, it felt as if it was going to leap right off the stand it was propped on.

It was during his time on the streets that he made connections with American embassy workers, and also his first show in Coburg, Germany where nearly all of his displayed paintings sold; he later packed up his belongings and left to Los Angeles where 20 of his works were being exhibited; beginning his "American Odyssey." (http://vladimirkush.com) In Los Angeles, Kush worked in a quaint, rented home garage, but was unable to show off his work due to lack of funds. But, after returning to painting portraits on the street ( this time on the Santa Monica pier,) Kush raised enough money to purchase a ticket to Maui, Hawaii, or as he titles it, the "Promised Land," (http://vladimirkush.com) and his home to this day. Kush worked as a mural painter of the Whaler's Village Musuem in Maui, but in 1993 a dealer from France noticed the originality and creativeness of his work and organized an exhibition in Hong Kong; the place where Kush's work earned him several later
The pilot to the show Pushing Daisies humorously titled “Pie-lette” can be described using a very visualist narrative vocabulary. This is because of the incredibly strong visual elements used to instill certain emotions into its audience and give the text more meaning. The story revolves around a man named Ned who has a special gift to both give and take life with a simple touch. It begins with him portrayed as a boy before he first learns of his power, living in his almost surreal, bright, friendly suburban neighborhood with his loving home-maker of a mother. This represents Ned’s equilibrium, his innocence, before accidentally taking his childhood sweetheart’s father’s and even his mother’s life in the process of learning his new
Anthony Gormley Essay Antony Gormley was born on the 30th of August 1950 and he is a British artist that works with all different media such as metal, clay, or even bread to create his work but mainly with sclupture, my favorite works by gormley include: The field, The Wasteman and the one i am focusing on, Another place. Field is part of a group of installations made in 1990 and consists of Thirty-five thousand figures Gormley made these figures with help from many of the members of his family, his friends and the public, they where made from clay sourced from a family owned brickmaking company in mexico, he used a family owned brickmaker because he wanted to create the work in collaboration between himself and the local community.

The inspiration for this idea came from “the wickerman”, an old pagan tradition that symbolises new hope being born out of the remains of the past, which i think is similar to the idea of a new life gormley used in “another place”, gormley gained this these idea’s from his studdy’s of the buddhist religion, again this idea was inspired by
