The Art That Lives The artwork created under the Cobra Movement by far is definitely not the most beautiful or understandable work of art on display in the museums. At first glance, it may even look like doodles created by our siblings when they were younger. Though its essence is not immediately noticeable, sitting there and staring at it the art seems to speak for itself and spills its secrets. The Cobra Movement begun in 1948 Paris in response to World War II and would eventually unite artists from Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam. Cobra artists would use animals as a representation of people’s animalistic instincts and desires. The artwork I chose to work with is the Parmi Nous created in 1965 by Pierre Alechinsky because it explores the importance of beauty. At first glance, I noticed that the Parmi Nous seems to lack a focus. In more traditional paintings, the artist would use contrast between colors to draw the audience’s attention to a certain area but the Parmi Nous seems to be all over the place. Perhaps, the most peculiar is the large black stain and the green and blue lines which stands out from the red and orange background. I noticed that the green and blue lines are curved and creates …show more content…
Like previously mentioned, I find the Parmi Nous a lot like graffiti and that is because it is striving to survive just like graffiti because they do not live up to the standard of what people would generally consider as art and beauty. Thus, the way the art lives represents those among us that lurks in the shadows of more perfect people just trying to survive too. This brings us to the question: Does perfection really matter? According to the Parmi Nous, perfection does not really matter because ugliness would always exist. Thus, people should not exclude others for their imperfection because imperfection is inside of you as
From the repetition of this element in O’Keefe’s work, it can be concluded that the skulls were things she would see frequently. The deer’s skull is a significant element in the painting’s composition. In addition to being the primary focus, it provokes emotions in the viewer. The skull is stares straight ahead as it if is confronting
“BLUE – WHITE –BLUE – WHITE,” shouts from the stands at the most awaited game of the year, the homecoming game. With support filling the stands from students, parents and fans alike the 2013 Rattler football team takes the field. Although a big part of the traditional homecoming game, football is not the entire reason we gathered this year in “The Snake Pit.” One of the utmost exciting moments of the year approached as halftime began, crowning of the homecoming queen.
People are supporters of the opinion that art is designed to influence a social behavior through plays, propaganda, newspapers and by paintings. For example, paintings are used to promote a powerful form of protest against inequality and atrocity. In a fictionalization story based on real facts, In the Time of the Butterflies, by Julia Alvarez. It demonstrates a clear understanding on struggle, loss of freedom and the living conditions in which one lives in a reign of terror.
All individuals are not born perfect. Every individual has their flaws that has a positive or negative impact to those around them and the society. All individuals have flaws that can or cannot hide from the rest of the world. Scholars of psychology argue that obsessions cause individuals to achieve perfection and can have a positive or negative aspect to an individuals’ life. Perfection is the conditions, state, or quality of being free as possible from all flaws or defects.
At least once in their life, people make a decision, and grow to eventually regret what they have done and reflect on what could have been done instead. In the passage “The Rattler” the speaker recalls the time when he crosses paths with a snake and has to debate whether to kill the snake. The author invites the reader to feel empathy for the man and sympathy for the snake using the point of view of the man, attitude of the snake, and descriptions of the setting. The author demonstrates empathy for the man through his appreciation for nature, justification for killing the snake, and his remorse after its death.
Darker hues to the left and lighter hues reserved to show the sunlight reflecting off the snow to the right. By arranging the composition around the central figure of the fox, Courbet actually draws all of the attention of the viewer to the animal first, to the action taking place on the canvas. The small areas of blood around the carcass provide extra tension between the works light and dark areas with saturated and muted colors. The horizon lines all bring you to the focal point of the fox in the middle of the painting, your eyes then travel around the scene, taking in the rocky ledges and the frozen lake in the background.
The Pursuit of Perfection:Analysis of the unspoken portion of Ancient Greek culture. Whether we realize it or not, we all relentlessly pursue perfection. In our lives, we strive to be something better or at least to...seem that way. To live a life without faults, without the flaws that make everyone else so imperfect, but always seem to fall too far from that ideal. Perfection remains an objective that can never be reached, something that is unattainable and in stark contrast with reality.
Each of the three lines share the similarity of rising and to the right in movement. The shape of the 1st line is the most extreme of the three lines rising the fastest. The shape of the second line is less aggressive than the first due to it rising without developing a strong upward curve. The third line is the most consistent of the three rising mostly at an angle with small curvature towards the end. Each line differs the way that they do due to the various amounts of data that creates each line.
All three artists uses the lines in weird directions such as crisscrossing and diagonal placements in both artworks. In the Blue (Crest), used different tints of blue and Vertigo, used different tints of orange giving two different views of the artwork. The blue used in In the Blue (Crest) helped with portraying the feel of water and the orange just seems as a color placed in the painting of Vertigo, even though with the lines it helps represents the chaos in the picture. They both were similar besides the dimensions, In the Blue (Crest) did give a different feel since it was three dimensional than the two dimensional
They took a not-so-popular art form, and turned it into something so beautiful that it gained attention from all over the
We all like to agree on that. But we never like to think about our flaws. We all have imperfections just like every other thing in the universe. Most of us just do not pay attention to them. We are not perfect, after all.
The artwork I choose for Renaissance was The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci. This artwork has been taken from the Italian High Renaissance and it is from the scene from the bible and not forgetting its media is tempera which is famous during the Renaissance period. Why I chose this painting is because it shows linear perspective that is everything is pointing towards the head of Christ. It is also approximately symmetrical balance. It shows that it is roughly balanced on both sides.
OVERCOMING PERFECTIONISM “Perfection is annihilation. It paralyses us from working from the heart. Humans by nature are not perfect and imperfections are what makes the world beautiful.” Mistakes Are Normal One of the very first things you must reflect on is to accept the fact that mistakes are meant to be made.
In Claude Monet 's In the Woods at Giverny- Blanche Hoschede at Her Easel with Suzanne Hochede Reading, we are shown, as the name implies, an outdoor woods setting. A woman wearing a dark coat reading a book in the grass while another woman dressed in blue paints her on the easel. The overall setting is very tranquil as the women in the painting are the only differences in the painting with their difference in the value, color, the subtle brushwork and even the point of view. These differences distinguish them from the background, however, still feel as if they belong there and doesn 't disturb the flow of the image.
The portrait represents the beauty of the time period. It holds simplistic colors with detailed shading. The artwork is very intriguing to me. I love the detail in the background, there are tiny brushstrokes that makes up the mountains and sky. Also, I find the shading of the mouth and eyes very interesting.
