As Harriet and Sarah Tilt, Harriet’s friend and famous art critic, look through an exhibition at the Cumberland and Maitland Art Gallery, they come across a painting by Fritz Dangerfield’s who, in his career, painted the same painting over and over again. Sarah considers him a “mad artist” (115) “He painted the same picture over and over again but he would not be parted from the canvases, which he kept in his bedroom until his death.” (116) This painting was his only source of influence, was the only ‘word’ in his verbal universe, so it was the only idea he could recycle and reuse in a new context. One interaction Harriet and Sarah make, after Sarah explains this painting to Harriet explains
Martin Luther King Jr. “I Have a Dream” speech was delivered at Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963. In hopes of planting the seed of equality into every American’s heart and letting it flourish. King expresses his profound and powerfully emotional thoughts while also mentioning momentous decrees such as the Emancipation Proclamation and Declaration of Independence that were signed by our founding fathers in our nations early history. These documents were intended to unlock the invisible cage that once held African Americans hostage from being treated as equals. Centuries later the Negro community was still riddled by racial injustice and oppression.
Although he briefly trained as a Naval Surgeon, Ferguson soon realised that his ambition was painting and he spent some time travelling in Spain, Morocco and France to develop his artistic knowledge and experience. The first painting I am going to discuss is 'The Pink Parasol' which is a portrait painted in 1908 of a fellow artist and friend Bertha Case, when they were both in Paris. In this painting Ferguson adopted much stronger colours than in his other paintings and like Matisse used green paint to represent shadows in the face. He emphasised pattern by merging the pink parasol with the background of his picture by blending it with the cold colours. The painting is of a woman peering over her shoulder, she is wearing a hat with a pink bow and is also wearing a scarf, in the background there is a pink parasol around strong blocks of cold colours.
I also feel strongly about religion, nature and family; which make his paintings more captivating, to me. Everything he feels strongly about he incorporates in his paintings. Bellini’s art made Venice the new leader of renaissance art in Italy; overcoming Florence and Rome. Giovanni Bellini was born in Venice in 1426. There is not much known about Bellini’s family.
He was good friends with Van Gogh and he painted with other great artists such as Cezanne and Pissarro. His art was also extremely influenced by Gauguin’s trip to Tahiti. Gauguin was very interested in painting the church and the cycle of life whilst using pure colors with thick black outlines. A perfect example of this is his painting is called “The Yellow Christ” This painting was designed as to be something new. It isn’t just about the form nor the color instead each are of equal importance.
The Restoration of the Sistine Chapel; was it cleaned or damaged? Michelangelo used fresco to complete the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in 1508-1512. The ceiling has been a staple center for the Vatican. Tourists from all over the world flock to see the Chapel and the magnificent paintings the building has to offer. Michelangelo’s painting of the ceiling has come under scrutiny in the past decade.
He was named after his father, thought we was called “Walt” to distinguish between the two of them. It was at the age of twelve when Whitman started to dabble in the arts. He first started with painting but quickly fell in love with language and how it could be used to express. He was mainly self-taught falling in love with the works of many of the great poets such as Shakespeare, Homer and Dante. Shortly after Whiteman discovered his love for the written language he started working a printer in New York City until a fire destroyed most of the printing district.
Each of these factors has influenced my philosophy for not only nursing but also how I live my life. The first factor that has impacted my lifestyle and my personal philosophy is the way I was raised by my parents. I was raised in a traditional Christian home in which my parents were a great example to my faith. The second factor that has influenced my beliefs is my mother. I have always admired her compassion towards others and her commitment to serve people that needed help.
His father did not, at first, agree with his career choice in art, yet realizing his son’s talent, allowed him to continue on his chosen career path. Cézanne went through several artistic styles, in which allows his artwork to vary throughout time. In the late 1860’s (the early Romantic Period) his artwork dealt with violent subjects, harsh fantasy, dark colors and vastly heavy paintwork. Yet in the 1870’s his approach altered where landscapes became the subject of his paintings. In addition, under Camille Pissarro's influence, Cézanne embarked on abandoning dark colors and the colors in his canvases grew much brighter.
In the painting “Las Manos de Dr. Moore” the tree of life, science, and his great composition are all well expressed. Diego Rivera was born in December 13, 1886, in Guanajuato, Mexico. He was the first twin born, but two years later his twin brother died. His love for art started at a very young age. Rivera loved drawing so much that he would draw on any surface he could find.
