Over the course of learning about the different modernist movements, I have found that I connect in an immense way with impressionism. The movement exemplifies the way I would like to believe the world is. In impressionistic paintings, artists hardly ever use black coloring. I suppose that this draws me to impressionism because I want to be able to see the world as full of light; see it optimistically. I think the idea that you can use colors to describe shadow versus using black or gray is a metaphor people should live by.
These all link together in creating a cohesive poster that’s appealing to the audience. Also because the colours are so mellow and not overly bright it suggests that the poster is trying to target an older and more mature. The tittle is a maroon colour, which makes it stand out amongst the other things in the poster because it’s the only time maroon is used in the poster. This also makes it easier for the reader to identify. The tagline, “What if you had a second chance to find true love?” engages the reader as it proposes a question to them.
In this piece, the image seems to be almost completely lost. The lines appear to come together to create familiar objects. Like Picasso’s this painting also has little color and he uses white, blue, red and yellow. The painting is very creative and it’s like Gorky creates his own language, his own mark making and even his own calligraphy. Finally, the most recent of the artworks, Jackson Pollock’s Full Fathom Five, 1947.
Westbrook proposes that the "world of Gatsby may be said to abound in colors, all of the brighter varieties, but the most brilliant of them attends ironically upon its unhappiest events". The colors I chose white, green, yellow and blue. While white usually symbolizes purity, however when reading Gatsby you have to think that Fitzgerald ironically conveys
Although he is glorified through the detail and nudeness of his body, he does not look godly. Through the perfect portrayal of David, Michelangelo is celebrating and appreciating the human body. Leonardo da Vinci was also influenced by humanism in his painting, The Last Supper. Although the focus in this painting is the people if you look beyond them and to the background, you see through the windows that da Vinci captured the hills and other landscape. This shows the depth of the painting and makes it seem more like real life.
The color of the background is light green with some elements of yellow, and it creates an illusion of a light-source. The orange and green colors are very intense. The colors of the carnations contrast with the subdued brown color that is in the foreground and is acting as a "base" to the carnations. The lines of the painting are well defined. Although the flowers are asymmetrical, the artist has tried to create an element of balance by placing them almost at the middle of the painting, and through the mixing of intense and dark colors.
Half-caste John Agard is saying that people are to obsessed with purity and he is trying to say that people calling him half-caste think he is somehow less pure than them. He is attempting to change that by using phrases like ‘when Picasso mix red and green/is a half-caste canvas’. By using this he is saying you wouldn’t say this about Picasso’s paintings because they are beautiful so why would you say that about a person. The poem is about the poets annoyance and sadness of people using the phrase half-caste. The poem has a sarcastic tone to it and I think it’s to show how he thinks that people are not thinking when they use this phrase, he expresses this by saying “when you say half-caste/yu mean when Picasso/mix red and green/is a half-caste canvas”.
They did not use firmly drawn outlines but instead applied paint in small brightly coloured dabs, even in sadowy areas of their pictures. This lack of outline and multiplicity of small dabs of pure colour, when combined wih the impressionists interest in fleeting effects of light, give their pictures a constant air of movement and life, but also of Impremanence. There was nothing as formal as a manifesto or even an agreed programme among the Impressionists. They were all individual artists working in their own way, developing their own style. They were, however, agreed in a general way on a number of points regarding subject matter.
For purple, it is a mixture of red energy and blue stability so it can represent power, nobility, luxury and ambition. It is believed to be artificial as it is very unique and rare color and it is preferred by children as well. In this report, I ‘ll analyze different paintings focusing on the role of colors in them. In this painting, Leonardo da Vinci amazingly drew one of the greatest Paintings ever Mona Lisa in 1503, using oil on wood. Here the effect of colors is obvious; Smoky blue in the background
The first stanza introduces the clod’s view of love (2): Love seeketh not Itself to please, Nor for itself hath any care; But for another gives its ease, And builds a Heaven in Hells despair. The stanza represents the clod’s optimism yet naïve innocence. Indeed the choice of using a clod to represent “soft love” is important because a clod is a lump or earth or clay which is easily malleable and soft. In Thel, the clod of clay is the mother which suggests a feminine viewpoint of love which is understandable after reading the entire poem (3).The clod comments that “Love seeketh not Itself to please,/ Nor for itself hath any care”, suggesting that love must be an unselfish state. Blake’s choice to personify love as seeking something is significant towards understanding the clod’s view of love.
