Analyzing Altdorfer's Abstract Painting
When you look at Richter's Abstract Painting, you see the resemblance of a landscape that is portrayed within Altdorfer's painting as well. I believe that Richter mimics the type of painting that Altdorfer created because not only are the same colors used, but the idea of the specific landscapes had to have been similar to create these paintings. I like to think that just because Richter's painting does not seem realistic and natural; his painting is still the idea of a landscape, which can be compared to Altdorfer's painting. Altdorfer's goal was to represent a life-like depiction of the real world. However, Richter did not have a similar goal in mind because his artwork is not easy to recognize, to understand, and it

    Analysis Of John E. Moscowitz's Painting Blowing Rocks

    Blowing Rocks VII by John E. Moscowitz is a painting of a portion of the Blowing Rocks Preserve in Jupiter Florida. It shows the rocks forming somewhat of a U shape with some smaller rocks scattered in front of it in the brown sand. The middle section of the formation is on the shore but still close enough to the ocean that some of the water from the waves are able to advance past the larger rocks and surround the smaller rocks while the sides of the formation jet out into the water. The dark blue-green ocean water is crashing against the brown rocks causing the white waves to jet straight up in the air. There are white caps in the middle of the ocean and larger waves closer to shore displaying a rough and windy day. The sly is a royal blue…

    Nt1310 Unit 1 Assignment 1 Art Critique

    The title of the painting I am critiquing is Nine Angels at Revival Zion by Allan "Zion" Johnson painted in 1987, which depicts Jamaica's Spirituality. This painting is located at the FIU Frost Art Museum. The medium used by the artist was oil on hardboard, the surface of the painting was smooth with a few rough spots due to the natural element of the board. Some of the formal elements used throughout the painting are intense hues of red and blues with lighter shades of green and orange. Nine white angels are the focal point of the painting who are being cheered on by the people of the town. Neither the angels nor the people are drawn with detail in their faces. The artist also used basic shapes such as squares, rectangles and triangles for the buildings along with their bold colors. Although the painting is not completely symmetrical there is a sense of balance. The Linear technique was used to give the illusion that angels were floating up to the sky.…

    Art Analysis: John Byrd

    I picked John Byrd, the artist, because most of his projects are of animals and i am an animal person that has a lot of love for animals. He looks like he is trying to convey his love for nature, animals, and interest for the organs and intestines of animals. John looks like he is trying to show the animals in a relatable way so more people can connect and relate to the artwork. In most of his pieces, John shows the animal with its inside organs and intestines showing through, maybe showing that we are all the same inside. The sculpture is labeled as a horse but untitled, it is a horse standing on what looks like a stone platform. His description of the artwork doesn’t tell the meaning behind the sculpture or its reasons for the…

    One of the most influential artists of the Modern Period of art was James Whistler. Whistler was an accomplished printer and painter and a brief background of the painter allows us to understand Whistler, and why more than any artist of his time, he would be attracted to Japanese woodblock prints called Ukiyo-e. It is also essential to understand the essence of Ukiyo-e, Japanese aesthetics and its migration to the Western world. Additionally, a chronological selection of Whistler’s works must be analyzed showing how he integrated the lessons he learned from his exposure to Ukiyo-e.…

    Art 101 Chapter2

    The reaction of the public was that of not understanding what the artists were trying to convey. They did not understand that Marcel Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase, was based on the concept of motion. In Michelangelo’s David he was making a political statement. In both works of art, part of what viewers found objectionable about them was that they (the public) did not understand what the works represented. In Michelangelo’s David, the public saw nudity. Other people saw politics and religion were being attacked. In Duchamps painting, the public I think, partially responded to the paintings name, and they did not understand that the painting was not actually of a nude person but was a “series of photographs by Etienne-Jules Marey, representing motion. The objects in the photographs were fully clothed. Etienne-Jules Marey’s photographs that went on to bring about the invention of the motion picture” (Sayre, p. 45, 2010). When I first looked at the painting of Nude Descending a Staircase, I did not see anything in it that gave me any idea of what the picture was about. On looking closer and reading the information about it, my opinion changed. I learned that his painting did have meaning, and that it had nothing to do with nude people. The motion pictures came from the work of Etienne-Jules Marey, and Duchamp saw the meaning and importance of his work.…

    In this essay you will be comparing and contrasting two different types of paintings. The same subject matter but different ideas of the same subject. I will be writing about The Last Supper, which was painted by Giampietrino, after Leonardo da Vinci. He used oil on canvas while painting the piece of art. The year that Giampietrino painted this picture was in 1520. Another work of art that I will be writing about will be The Last supper by Francesco Fontebasso. He painted this picture in 1762 using oil on canvas. As you can see from both types of arts, that they were both painted on oil on canvas and both have the same subject matter which is the last supper that Jesus Christ had.
