Whose character can also be seen as a learnt assumption due to his tortured mind through his love for painting and people. But ideology is portrayed in many other ways, noticeably through the portrayal of women, society and religion. Vincent Van Gogh without a doubt struggled through life, mentally and physically in health. I believe that it’s the most evident ideology expressed in Vincent Minnelli’s film. He is portrayed much throughout the film as an outsider, most evident with his rejection from his first love Kay, the church, the art market, and finally fellow artist and companion (perhaps his only true companion) Gauguin.
There is also a circle of speakers around him that start at his ears and gradually get bigger as they come away from him. The background is filled with yellow and red design with one big yellow circle at the top middle of the painting. At the bottom left corner there is scribbles of graffiti and lines of red all along the lower half of the painting. Bruce Bailey made his artwork have a very abstract look by choosing the colours and designs he did, and used it throughout the painting which made his work very unique and interesting. Analysis; Bailey used colour and value elements in his painting.
The original painting can be found in Tate Gallery in London, Great Britain. “Clarinet and Bottle of Wine on a Mantelpiece” is extremely geometric, architectural painting, it has many lines and the colors used are very neutral. The background is kind of light grey-green. The foreground consists of many toned colors like blacks, browns, grays, grayish-greens. There are many strokes, but the most visible and the longest are two black lines going from the top of the painting to the bottom.
Danielle Hogsed Medieval Art: Dr. Soleo-Shanks I chose the painting on page 43. It is entitled St Francis Renounces His Worldly Possessions by Giotto di Bondone. The artist is attempting to communicate the moment is St. Francis’s life where he denounced Peter Bernadone as his father, and claimed God as his only father, by stripping naked of the clothes he was wearing and returning them, along with money, back to his father. One thing that Dr. Soleo-Shanks talked about during her lecture was that the uses of lots of blues were a sign of importance. The color blue was very rare and very expensive, therefore used to depict important scenes.
And what is the expressive content of both? By analyzing how each artist chooses to use the formal elements we can see how they portray the event of the crucifixion in their own way. Gruenwald’s painting is full of heaviness. The background is nothing but darkness, and the only softness and areas of light in the painting are the lady in white on the left and the lamb near Christ’s feet. The expressions on the figures faces are ones of such sorrow; they are clearly in mourning.

This unique characteristic is rewarded with torture, expressed by the imagery and figurative language present throughout the poem. “What was thy pity’s recompense?/A silent suffering and intense;”(5-6, Byron). The use of the descriptive word “silent” represents both the way the other gods looked upon Prometheus’s sentence and the pride with which he held himself in its duration. He is viewed by Byron as a martyr of liberty, a cause that Byron was very adamant about and eventually gave his life for in the Greek War for Independence. Prometheus’s compassion for lesser mortals is juxtaposed against the natural hierarchy of his society, due to the fact that “Titans, like gods, have hitherto been the object of human attention, models of human aspiration and resentment.
Picasso stated, “It was thinking about Casagemas that got me started painting in blue (Enrique).” In the beginning, he had started with several paintings that memorialized the recent suicide of his friend Casagemas. Then, he had moved back and forth between Barcelona and Paris and started to paint blind or lonely beggars and poor people in the streets. The use of blue has also been attributed to the fact that Picasso was too poor to buy any other colors as well his habit of working at night by lamplight. Lau 2 The first thing to notice in the painting is the guitar. The guitar shines bright in contrast to the somber gray scale hues surrounding it.
Images never merely portray an authentic reality but instead they “inevitably betray the values of the culture in which they were created” (Howells, 2003: 70) Fig1.1: Self Portrait with Necklace of Thorns, 1940, Oil on Canvas Fig. 1.2 Henry Ford Hospital (The Flying Bed), 1932, Oil on Metal This paper will begin with a brief introduction of visual studies, painting in particular and go on to establish the fact that visual images not merely imitate reality but also inform the real world. When one views a painting, it is not complete objective view. There is a very thin line between objectivity and mind working under influence of ideologies. Complex interworking of representation of perceived reality by the painter, ideological approach of the viewer is at play, both, striving to figure out the real.
