The experience of viewing this piece compelled me to go home and do some research on these distinct pieces. I found several websites that uncovered the history of this art work. I discovered many other pieces that I admired. The individualality of each piece make them something special. Nothing could compare to the fascination I had with the Gnathia-Ware art I encountered at the museum.
The design along with the art pieces found outside, specifically the Rodin statue, which stood prominently in front of the museum, struck a curiosity in me to see the art on display within it’s walls. The next area that really made me stop and admire and marvel at the skill and creativity needed to create
Modern Mexico Diego Rivera The life of Diego Rivera is a very interesting because of the different experiences and the influence he had on the people. During his life he would meet many people that would influence in the art and his life. People like Jorge Posada and Chicharro majorly influence him and molded him to the painter he is. In December of 1886 in Guanajuato Diego Rivera was born. During his child hood he wanted to know everything.
Artwork critique On April 20th, I went to the art exhibition entitled Homecoming: Painting by William "Skip" Lawrence. This exhibition took place at The Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center. It was composed of William Lawrence paintings which are nude response to many years of works, experience and joy of return to a beloved place. The happy colors and the women grace reflect by his work immerse the viewer into a colorful dream. The lighting in the exhibit was very bright, and I was able to see these paintings very well.
Its an area that’s always flowing with people coming and going. I would display M. Lamberts, D. Pape, B. Maher, T. Mallory, A. Branstrom, L.Morelli. Those were all of the things that I think would look great hanging there, where lots of traffic, lots of young people who could relate to the raw and unique drawings and pictures that the artists expressed in the projects. I felt that most of those projects were done by twenty something artists, and being so young, they see art much differently than I do for sure. They use video and music as a lot of their work, and just straightforward from the
Penny’s works are very inspiring to students like me who are studying art and wondering what to do as a career in future within the art field. Penny’s works instantly captures the audience's eyes and inspires the audience to look at objects or people in different ways. It has inspired me as well to look at people in a different way and for when I create art, I should distort it in various ways to see what meaning I can create out of it. I would just say that I really enjoyed “Re-Figured” as it was a fresh and different type of artwork that I have never studied or seen before. It was very inspiring because of the way he represents his sculptures and it was entertaining and interesting to stare at because of how such three-dimensional the figures looked to the naked eye and did not even have to wear 3D
Arts2D Prof. Roehl Cantor Arts Museum Report The Cantor Arts Center in Stanford was a good pick to visit because of its unique collections displayed. It was my first time being inside the beautiful Cantor Museum, and it was filled with a variety of artworks of all different styles. The Jakob’s Traum (2010) by Anselm Kiefer was one of the artworks that caught my eye. The medium of the work used many objects like paint, clay, ash, and chalk on board with iron, resin ferns, cotton and linen dresses, and a ceramic ladder. Jakob’s Traum emitted such a ghostly vibe when you just stare at it.
Leigh Montgomery 5/15/12 HA 314 I chose the Brooklyn Museum for my assignment since I had never been there and I was excited to visit. We walked into the American Identities, A New Look, and Making Art: Centennial Era, exhibit and I was surprised, Yes, it is not the Met but as I walked around the gallery I found myself drawn in by many of the paintings. I particularly liked three, one being The Repimand, Ah! You naughty Fawn, You Have Been Eating the Flowers Again, by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait, the second In The Mountains, by Winslow Homer, and the third Lake George, 1857, by John William Casilear. The Reprimand.
The first theme one encounters is The Beginning. Paintings from the 1700s by local artists can be found here. The tour then moves into an Early Charleston theme, which contains works from the early 1800s. One piece I especially liked in this area was The Wreck of the Rose in Bloom by John Devaere, 1809. This is a marble sculpture that is stunning in its detail.
In fact, my children seem to be enjoying the stories about that the different paintings in the galleries. So I sent my children with my sister in law to the lower level to enjoy the Kid’s corner where they could do some hands on activities with art. I went back up to the galleries, starting at the top floor I visited gallery 17 as I turn the corner I saw this really big canvas which was painted with long brush stroke in the color sienna with a gray rectangle near the center with imperfect black line down the painting. I had no idea what it was to be, I started to read the description on wall next to it supposedly the rectangle referenced to a window and door suggesting both was a unbounded space and enclosed. This painting makes no sense to me, especially the line that was not even straight seem to be free handed.
