Seurat’s Grande Utopia Nicole van Rootselaar AHMS 1000 In Linda Nochlin’s essay she attempts to prove that one of Seurat’s most famous works, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, is anti- utopian. To illustrate her thesis, Nochlin recalls several paintings done before The Grande Jatte which convey an idealized past or an impossible perfect future and uses them to contrast with what she deems as Seurat’s sceptical view. Going on, Nochlin compares Seurat’s stylistic choices to those of other great artists of the time, making the point that through the mechanical placement of coloured dots, Seurat removes himself from his work, turning The Grande Jatte into a cold representation of modernity. Rather than portraying smoothness and youth, like the other great works that Nochlin mentions, such as Papety’s Dream of Happiness, Seurat utilizes pointillism. Nochlin believes that Seurat’s use of this technique dehumanizes the figures.

Baroque Paintings and Artists August 20, 2010 Jessica L. Ingle American InterContinental University Abstract In this paper I have wrote about three artists and their paintings in the Baroque era. I have also included some of their inspirations as well as major happenings that were going on at the time the paintings were created. I also explain to the reader what the paintings look like. Baroque Paintings and Artists Within the Seventeenth Century there were three artists that painted three beautiful works of art. The artists and paintings that I refer to are A Pastoral Landscape by Claude Lorrain, Landscape with Flight into Egypt by Annibale Carracci, and View of Haarlem from the Dunes at Overveen by Jacob van Ruisdael.
“Landscape of Orpheus and Eurydice” – Nicolas Poussin Artists from the Baroque period used Greek myths as sources for their art over and over again. In the following sections I am going to talk about a specific Painter named Nicolas Poussin (1549-1665) and his mythical Painting “Landscape with Orpheus and Eurydice”. To make it easier and better to understand this painting, I am going to give a short summary of the story behind the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and afterwards I will take a closer look at the painting itself. Nicolas Poussin used the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice as background for his painting “Landscape with Orpheus and Eurydice”. The story behind this Greek myth is about Orpheus, son of the God Apollo, and his beautiful wife Eurydice.
The transition between an early modernist painting and abstract expressionists can be seen by looking at many different artists. In this essay I am going to look at work from Picasso, Gorky and Pollock to shed some light on some paintings and make the transitions more easily understood. Pablo Picasso takes abstract to the extreme in his painting “The Guitar Player”. You can barely see the figure in the artwork. He uses very little color and outlines in black.
He mixed different colors together. People of his day didn't like his paintings. Monet painted how he felt about the picture. He didn't care what others thought about his paintings. He kept on painting his style.
