Chacon, Melissa Professor Folland Art History 72 11 December 2011 "View of the Yosemite" Thomas Hill (1829- 1908) was one of the most influential painters of the 19th century. He produced many fine paintings of California and is most known for the beauty of the American mountain scenery. In 1853, he studied portraiture and every day, genre- scene painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. According to the National Museum of Wildlife Art, during the summer of 1854, Hill visited the White Mountains in New Hampshire, where he met and painted with several artists associated with the Hudson River School. The school was known for their romantic depictions of the American landscape.
Due to the increase of workers’ wages were cut which made workers have bad reactions to the growth of Manchester. Due to industrialization that took place in Manchester during the nineteenth century it had a period of rapid growth which led to the issue of over population. Robert Southey claimed that you could not find a place more destitute than Manchester due to the numerous crowds of people in the street and the endless number of brick and blackened houses (doc. 2). I would expect Robert Southey to write like this directly because he was a romantic poet and wrote with his emotions not facts.
The New World Man The song ‘New World Man’ is about how America is changing and growing for the better. The experiences in America were put into metaphors and made into a song reflecting the growth and learning with new changes over time. America is cleaning up the land so that nature was and is today pure and trying to keep the country in control. Also, America makes choices to and learns by its own mistakes. When the Louisiana Purchase was bought in 1803, Lewis and Clark went to discover the mysterious territory and see the changes that could be made into something great we see today.
The remaining native americans were forced onto the famous Trail of Tears death march in 1838 after Jackson's final term. Masur goes on in detail to express how big of a problem this was, because of the technology that was growing in the United States and the Industrial Revolution had really gone into full swing. Masur explains that 1831 became a huge year for political exploits as the struggle for slavery hit a high point, the pursuit for individualism became more important, and technological advancements could lead the nation to secession and civil war. Masur is able to put these events together. Masur ties all these events together and make it clear on how they all set the tone and lead to shape the United States character as well as the future of both the government and the american people.
Throughout the twenties his fame grew with a number of large murals depicting scenes from Mexican history. His work appealed to the people’s interest in the history of technology and progress. The desire to understand progress was visible in the growing industrial societies of the 1930s, and Rivera saw the workers’ struggle as a symbol of the fragile political ground on which that capitalism
He sure has mastered it because to me it flawless. There is just something about the painting that I catch myself staring, it’s just so beautiful. The Three paintings I chose were all unique in my eyes but had a couple of similarities as well. First off I found out that architectural and landscape paintings were very popular in the 19th century and the three artist I chose were landscapists. They also painted a lot of architectural paintings as well.
Photography and the Industrial Revolution During the Industrial Revolution, a factory driven time period and move away from beauty, Alfred Stieglitz, the photographer of “The Hand of Man”, showed how something so dark and mechanical like the locomotive train could be transformed into a work of art and beauty using ones own creativeness and artistic ability. Alfred Stieglitz, an American photographer and modern art promoter, was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1864. Growing up, he was trained as an engineer in Germany where he would then move to New York in 1890 to try and prove that photography was an acceptable work of art during this time period. While in New York, he joined many camera clubs and held exhibitions throughout the city to show his work (Minneapolis Institute of Arts). In 1903, Stieglitz created a magazine called “Camera Work” that was completely devoted to photography and contained only photographic images in it (Greenough, Sarah).
The Progressive Era The decades between 1890 and 1920 was a period of vital reform activity that historians have called, The Progressive Era. In this era millions of Americans organized in voluntary associations to come up with solutions to the many problems. Industrialization, with all its increase in productivity and the number of consumer goods, created unemployment and labor unrest, wasteful use of natural resources and abuses of corporate power. Growing cities added to the problems of African Americans versus The Social Sciences American segregation was a bitter part of American history. Even worse, though, are the securing reasons for the need of segregation and the defense of the institution.
Artists of the Impressionism Era used strokes that were short and visible, which included smears, dots, and commas. Impressionists wanted to capture the essence of their subjects. Some say that Claude Monet’s painting, “Impression, Sunrise”, gave this era its name, but there was a critic that stated that the piece was an “impression” and not quite a finished piece of art. (Claude Monet, 2015). A2: Post Impressionism The Post Impressionism Era began between 1880 and 1910.
Acid rain as a result of industrialization has had many negative effects on the New England region in particular. The Adirondack Mountains are of special interest due to their soil composition that does not allow for the seizure of the two primary particles in acid rain. This has caused issues pertaining to the water reservoirs in the area that now are sometimes unable to support life do to the high acidity. Acid deposition as it is more formally called is typically composed of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These two components are naturally occurring from sources like volcanoes but the industrial revolution has exponentially increased the amount of these chemicals in the air.
