He used these observations to depict realism in his art, and he used his imagination and skill to make his paintings as real and lifelike as humanly possible. With sculpture Leonardo believed there were limits, with painting, he had endless possibilities, and with these endless possibilities at his fingertips he could add certain symbols, and characteristics. One of these things was geometric shapes, they were a staple of the renaissance and a common theme in Leonardo’s paintings. Often times a triangle can be seen, which is a universal sign of the holy trinity. Another detail Leonardo would add is something a little more humanistic; he would give each being their own personal traits and facial features.
Personality Analysis After taking the personality test I was matched with the ENTP personality type, which explains me as an innovative, original, and inventive. I thought this to be very accurate from the minute that I read the description. The main quality of the ENTP personality is that the person likes to experiment and often creates and invents while relying on their own instinct as the basis of their work. I found this accurately portrayed with my own personality because ever since I was young I liked to try everything out and see how and why it worked. The Myers – Briggs description includes that “ENTPs are frequently described as clever, cerebrally and verbally quick, enthusiastic, outgoing, innovative, flexible, loyal and resourceful (Wikipedia)”.
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.
Introduction Albino Hinojosa is an American realist painter who has achieved his success through works that exalt ordinary landscapes and everyday objects as worthy subjects for art. He has worked from life around him with an honesty and integrity that speaks directly to the viewer. And in so doing, he brings the viewer into the realm of his world. Composition and attention to detail are ever present. But so much more emanates from each work.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus (Greek Προμηθεύς, "forethought")[1] is a Titan, the son of Iapetus and Themis, and brother to Atlas, Epimetheus and Menoetius. He was a champion of mankind, known for his wily intelligence, who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals. [2] Zeus then punished him for his crime by having him bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver every day only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day. His myth has been treated by a number of ancient sources, in which Prometheus is credited with – or blamed for – playing a pivotal role in the early history of mankind. During the Greek War of Independence, Prometheus became a figure of hope and inspiration for Greek revolutionaries and their philhellene supporters.
Hawthorne has a perfect atmosphere for the symbols in The Scarlet Letter because the Puritans saw the world through allegory. For them, simple patterns, like the meteor streaking through the sky, became religious or moral interpretations for human events. The most obvious and well known symbol is the scarlet letter “A”, which has various meanings depending on different people and context. The “A” is meant to be a symbol of shame, but instead it becomes a powerful symbol of identity to Hester (Carrez). The letter’s meaning shifts as time passes.
By looking at its picture plane you can imagine the woodland setting carrying on outside the frame with the swan flying off into the distance. Cézanne however set out to capture a moment in time as his painting looks like something you can admire pleasantly. Both paintings capture modelling well and it’s clear that aspects of being three dimensional are on both paintings with Cézanne giving attention to it on his bathers only. Whilst Correggio pays attention to it on his whole painting from the figures, tree and scenery in the background. In my opinion Correggio uses the art of light to help his modelling.
In 1950, his work hit a turning point; his style changed from figuration to abstraction due to inspirational influence. The year 1951 was pivotal for Edmondson because he made his first etching during a course taught by Ernest Freed, and his first solo exhibition was held at the Felix Landau Gallery in Los Angeles. His artwork is valued highly because they express a form of feelings and spaces. The artwork that I liked was titled, “Decorated for Bravery.” I personally loved this art piece because it screams out fearless and dauntless. I believe the painting depicts a historic story that dates back to our ancestors who fought for a better life.
