Brandywine River Museum Analysis

On Friday, October 2nd, I visited the Wittliff art collection at Texas State University. I was very excited at how much art I was going to see as I made my way to the 7th floor of the Alkek Library, which is where the Wittliff art collection is located in. Sadly, with all of the artwork that was displayed, I was having trouble deciding on which art pieces to write this critique on. However, two certain 2-D pieces caught my eye. Out of all of the displays in the art collection, I ended up choosing Keith Carter’s photograph and Kate Breakey’s painted photograph.

I also markedly remember seeing the Woolworth’s lunch counter. Personally, I think that this is a museum that everybody should experience. It really opens one’s eyes about the entire Civil Rights Movement

Now that I have seen some of the exhibits and parts of the tour, my feelings are slightly more

An important part of cultural life in Cedar Rapids is the Museum of Art, with 5,000 works of art under its roof. The museum houses the world 's largest collection of works by Grant Wood, Marvin Cone, and Mauricio Lasansky. They also have strong collections of early twentieth century paintings, Malvina Hoffman sculptures, and Regionalist art from the 1930s and 1940s. In 2003 Cedar Rapids also became home to the African American Historical Museum and Cultural Center of Iowa. While the City of Cedar Rapids was incorporated in 1849, it operated under the Commission Form of Government from April 6, 1908 through Dec 31, 2005.

I knew that it would be sad but I didn’t realize it would affect me so much. When you enter the museum you walk down some stairs into the main area and in the center there is a room. I walked around the perimeter of the museum first and there are many pieces from the event that you can view and see pictures of. There are remnants from the crash of the towers, from the motor of one of the express elevators to the segment of a radio and television antenna and a first response fire truck that got crushed when the building fells. Not one firefighter in that company survived.

The Orlando Museum of Art, also known as OMA, is a hub of Central Florida when it comes to pulling in remarkable works of art for the public eye to pay patronage to. Today I visited such a place for the annual Antiques Vintage and Garden Show, which took place between February 19th through the 21st. Included in the price of a ticket was also admission to The OMA’s current exhibitions, which included Women of Vision: National Geographic Photographers and their other running exhibits, which contained an array of work, ranging from Pre-Columbian sculptures to more contemporary works of the 21st century. The specific exhibit which held my interest most was the Pre-Columbian, Mesoamerican gallery titled “A Trek from North to South”, which was organized by geographic locations in Latin America. Since my girlfriend, Illiana, bought me tickets to the show for a

The museum encloses the original sod house which is the key exhibit. Visitors can enjoy the experience of walking through the “soddy” and view exhibits, artifacts, photographs, and the homesteader’s root cellar in the museum area. (Sod House Museum). The artifacts and exhibits portray the daily lifestyles of the pioneers. There are so many more to explore outside of the ones I mentioned

His works can be found in approximately nine different museums. Edmund Charles was born in West Groton, Massachusetts on April 26, 1862, around the time of the American Civil War. Edmund Whitney Tarbell, Edmund Charles’s father, passed away in 1863 from the typhoid fever that he contracted during the war, causing Edmund Charles’s mother to remarry, and Edmund Charles and his sister left to be raised by their paternal grandparents in Groton.

The artwork reminded me of my family’s property in Utah. The trees, the flowing water, and the rocks took me back to my “happy place”. By observing Sue Britt’s artwork, I can tell that we share a love for

Viewing Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware painting evoked a great deal of emotion. Upon walking into the room filled with American landscape paintings, the enormous size demanded all my attention temporarily making me forget about the rest of the paintings. The longer I gazed at the artist’s magnificent triumph, the more I felt a part of this historic venture. The painting is oil-on-canvas, and it’s not the only painting Leutze made. The first version of this painting was damaged by a fire, and the second painting, which is a full-sized replica of the first, was begun shortly after the first version was damaged.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum showcases Mrs. Gardner 's collection to the public in greater Boston area. Each room functions as a pilgrimage, as one travels through various countries and time periods ending at the chapel and subsequently the Gothic room. In this paper, I will examine the Gothic room 's theme in relation to the placement of its objects. I will also evaluate the room 's strengths and challenges in serving the public, and how the practices employed in this room fit into the context of accessibility for the entire museum.

The artist, Thomas Cole, was an American painter born in England during the 19th century. Cole became famous for his paintings of landscapes, including The Oxbow. The 130.8 by 193 centimeter painting was done in 1836 using oil paints on canvas. Painted originally in the United States, the symbolic piece now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art located in New York City. The painting by Cole obviously depicts a landscape, especially one of the iconic bend in the Hudson river, but in fact there is much more to the piece.
