Taylor’s version is more representational because it contains natural objects that are easily recognizable. Wolf’s version appears a bit more abstract because the objects don’t seem that real, and his version would be considered a bit more as ledger art since ledger art is a term for Indian’s narrative drawings or paintings on paper or cloth. Howling Wolf shoes the landscape as more of a campground with tents or teepees, and John Taylor show it as looking more like woods. Iconography is the study or interpretation of the visual images and symbols used in a work of art. The two works of art also varied when it came to the women.
The term is sometimes used for any work that is permanently attached to a particular location. One type of site-specific artwork is earthworks which involves actually manipulating the landscape on a large scale. This type of artwork is going to involve challenges that other artists will never encounter. Most paintings or drawings will be displayed in a climate controlled environment, they are usually small enough to be moved or stored without too much difficulty, and the materials used belong to the artist. Any work of art that is a part of the changing landscape of this planet is subject to those same processes and will not be a static work of art.
Soldiers beyond the bounds of the focal point are repetitive, having no significant difference between their stature. Being expendable as a characteristic of each soldier could be the intent of Benton’s illustration. Accordingly, the focal point’s face captures the attention of the viewer as a result of not only size, but also in the view of the significant details of his face and gear. In regard to how the color affects the mood, the painting contains warm and cool colors. The glowing orange rails represent an emotional comfort zone or the familiar and warm feeling of home before departure to cold and foreign lands.
On the mountain, there are beautiful trees and growing sprouts. This is their ‘natural’ state in a normal environment that allows rest and rain. However, when ‘hatchets and axes’ and ‘oxen and sheep’ appear, the beautiful plants change along with the mountain’s landscape. These ‘hatchets and axes’ and ‘oxen and sheep’ are what Schwitzgebel would call “external impositions.” These change the mountain’s natural state (151). Schwitzgebel’s argument, however, is based on some unquestioned assumptions.
In a Utopia, every basic necessity has been taken care of for because everyone is equal and people are free to achieve their own ends. Or do they? The problem with this form of this idealistic government is that it is impossible to achieve it purely. In the stories, “Animal Farm”, a moral fable and satire that forebodes dystopia while “Childhood’s End,” a sci-fi novel illustrates the difficulty of preserving a Utopia and its inevitable downfall. In Animal Farm, the story begins with Old Major, the elder and diplomatic pig gathering the animals of the farm to listen to his speech about his ideals and vision for a perfect society where animals are free from man’s tyrant.
Sheeler’s painting is, as the name implies, a landscape. It is not a landscape in the traditional sense; the painting depicts a large factory site. The painting by Hockney, on the other hand is a portrait. The foregrounds of both paintings have an almost photographic appearance, but the backgrounds seem to be abstractions. The foreground of Classic Landscape is dominated by the realistic steel railroad tracks and sturdy wooden ties.
However what separates Vesuvius from the Disaster paintings is its existence as a natural disaster, and not one of human error. While analyzing “Vesuvio”, the first 2D element that jumps out at me is the use of line. Line, being the element that draws all parts of arrangement together, is used very well in Warhol’s “Vesuvio”. Warhol’s expressive and spontaneous touch of thin and thick brush strokes can be seen through the lines of black paint, which
The methods and conditions present in factory farming have been identified as significant stressors and cruel to animals, and should be exposed to bring more public awareness to reduce further animal suffering. Industrial farms confine animals in an unnatural and overcrowded environment, and are subjected to cruel practices. The conditions and methods employed in factory farming are supposed to give back maximum returns in profits for the farm owners. Animals are viewed as units of productions, and little concern is paid to the fact that animals have feelings and experience pain just like humans. The space the animals are confined in is small to increase efficiencies of such inputs as lighting and heating.
Throughout the film, the dialogues are condensed to one or two lines between two people at a time. It seemed to me that the overall setting and the theme was based more on nature, plants, and critters that inhabit the wheatgrass field. The characters, the animals, the vegetations, the sky, the water and fire all seemed inseparable. Hence, the title ‘Days of Heaven’ made sense to me because in the end, they are all fundamentally inseparable in heaven. The cinematography in this movie was interesting in terms of framing the shot.
Surrealist artists Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte have communicated meaning by using the subjective frame in their artworks. The utilisation of symbolism, contrasting colours, juxtaposition and space help further enhance these messages. Whereas Dali aims to amuse, intrigue and shock the audience, Magritte’s artworks confront the audiences normals views and beliefs. Salvador Dali’s 1931 artwork ‘The Persistence of Memory’ is one of the most famous and iconic Surrealist paintings, combining everyday life and the dreamlike, subconscious world. Dali communicates his message of time and how it is slowing down by using symbolism, juxtaposition and colour.
