ART IN AMERICA
ART IN AMERICA September 2014.
This magazine director is Lindsay Pollock because I see her name as a editor in chief. When I look over it, I see most of picture describes object material such as glasses, wood, metal, clay, … And some art works are about machine or machine shape. It looks like the organization of someone. And most of them make me feel like they are close with our social. For example: The Judges III, 2013 of Courtesy Catriona Jeffries. The artist have a piece of clay, which shape in the picture like a turkey and so yummy. But without light, it dose not look yummy at all. Over all, I think Lindsay want to bring art to our life. Something is not real or attractive, but it is still close to our social.
I find a lot of information in this magazine such as: organizing object in art work, using contrast color to make more attractive, painting with natural shape, and showing texture. For example: John Altoon: Untitled, 1964 by Ed Ruscha. The artist using ink, pastel and airbrush on illustration board. It’s look very simple. They describe two man who has a lot of flag, one gun, and army clothes; other one has some thing looks like underwear and he’s holding a stick. The artist use pen to describe the bodies and the background and puffs of airbrushed pastel colors highlight forms set against white backgrounds, adding a quirky decorative element to compositions that seem battlegrounds of the psyche. There is an other which I feel very interesting. That is Shara Hughes: Hurricane Hughes, 2014, oil, enamel, acrylic and spray-paint on canvas. It is an abstract artwork. I see two human form such as: head shape, length shape, feet shape, and body shape. They are walking in the opposite direction. There are some clouds which are going around. Hurricane Hughes is a predominantly blue canvas, features two upright figures striding toward each other and a third that floats horizontally above the sidewalk alongside a fish. From the upper left, a fantastic wave,

    The chapel of Raemkai was originally built and decorated for an official named Neferiretnes, traces of whose name and titles can still be made out on the false door. The reuse of the tomb for Raemkai was not probably by royal decree and took place before the reign of Isesi (circa 2381BC). The fine relief decorating the tomb includes a large scene of the hunt in the steppes with lasso and dogs. In one scene an ibex is lassoed, in another, dogs attack a hyena and a Dorcas gazelle while a man leaning on his staff looks on and a hare and a reclining gazelle may be seen in the background.…

    When taking a trip to the Norton Museum of Art I chose a one dimensioned painting called Adam that was located on the first floor. The artist is Nicholas Carone and was painted in 1956. To the left of the painting, Adam, was another painting named Personage which was painted by Robert Mothewell in 1943. Personage is an abstract oil painting on canvas with multiple different colors. To the right of Adam was a sculpture called Sea Quarry and was created by Theodore Roszak. The sculpture was not an obvious choice that it was a sea animal at first. I had to stand there for a minute and really look at the sculpture to being to see what it was really intended for the sculpture to be. Returning to my original choice, Adam by Nicholas Carone, it is also an oil painting done on canvas. Carone first started with a plane black picture and continued to manipulate it with white paint color and other lines using different thick and thin brushes. The picture was made to represent and recreate light and shadow but is opaque. It uses several different elements of art including color, value, line, shape, and space. “Adam”s composition is curved lines and is known as an Abstract Expressionism type of art.…

    American abstraction emerged from the background of Regionalism and Social Realism in the middle 1930’s.(1) The development and characteristics of Abstract Expressionism began with the Surrealist phase in which artists took an interest in myths and dream and in effect, unconscious creativity. From Expressionism, artists gained a passion for the “expressive qualities of paint.”(1) From Surrealism and Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism was born. Abstract Expressionism was a term used in 1929 by Alfred Barr, Jr. to refer to Kandinsky’s nonfigurative, nonrepresentational paintings.(1)…

    Travelers among Mountains and Streams is comprised of several design elements. Form, leading lines, and shape. These design elements move the eye throughout the painting in a continuous interaction between the elements. Each section is well balanced and rich in content. The large mountain in the foreground sets the foundation for the painting by serving as a barrier, keeping the viewers eyes from leaving the page. The area showing the travelers moving in the stream sets a sense of motion, engaging the eye to travel through the painting. The grand scale of all the elements inspire the viewer to be transported into the realm of fantasy promoted by Northern Song painters. The painting takes on a naturalistic feel that is derived from the combination of paint, ink, and silk. The people and mules moving through the stream bring a sense of scale to the painting. They are an important element in that they are in direct comparison to the large Mountain. The helps promote the idea that there is something bigger than all of of us and that humans are somehow spiritually connected to the earth. An important idea that Northern Song Artist aspired to communicate through ere work. The painting is done in a realistic approach yet is not set in a specific place further enhancing the dream like quality meant to promote spiritual communication and enlightenment. This interpretation is about the balance between the countryside and mans attempt to conquer it brought to life in the form of a painting by Fan Kuan. In the painting the small humans are engulfed by the enormous mountains giving the effect of unattainability, yet the human spirit to conquering the elements arises out of the need explore. The human and animals traveling through the stream give the…

    It is believable that John Vanderlyn, in his painting Landing of Columbus, was trying to portray the success of Columbus and his crew. Columbus heroic stance and elegant expression are made all the more impressive in comparison to the native people who witness the event. The Native Americans are naked, fearful or subservient, bowing down before the explorer in awe and reverence. The symbols of empire are shown in the heroic explorer with his Christian crosses and steel swords symbolizing the significance in the power of civilization. In 1836 of June, Congress had commissioned John Vanderlyn to paint the Landing of Columbus. About eleven years later the painting was hung in the Rotunda by January 1847. Expansion was an overwhelming preoccupation in nineteenth-century America, but it was by no means the only cultural preoccupation. The subject of the painting, foregrounding the ambiguous meeting of two cultures, provided a space for artists to work out many central issues, for example, how to reconcile Indian Removal with notions of the Noble Savage. Another way is how to remake a country torn apart by sectional strife. The following settlements and expansions span the period from 1835 to 1912. Americans had a chaotic eighty-year period that witnessed the filling of Americas geographical borders, the bloody anguish of the Civil War, the horror of slavery in America, the overthrow of Native peoples, and many more events pertaining to the expansion. Vanderlyns painting contains images of contact between European explorers and Native Americans. He clearly shows a representation of what many of the settlements contained and how frightened the Natives were.…

    The second resource that I found was from a book called Native American Culture: Arts and Crafts by Liz Sonneborn. The book specified the different styles of art that Native Americans made from all over the United States. The book explains how the Native Americans used art in a way to portray their worship of nature. Art was used by tribes as a way to state what tribe or family was more powerful through their art being given away during potlatches and winter ceremonies.…

    AMERICAN CULTURAL STUDIES

    • 404 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Cultural studies refers to the notion that the study of cultural processes is theoretically and politically important to an active and productive understanding of the ways in which power and influence manifest themselves in social or political order. The historical roots of cultural studies mainly take us to Britain and its Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at Birmingham. In Britain, cultural studies in the early days was marked by class, later by gender, race or sexuality and later still by membership of a subculture. The British cultural studies is centred around race, ethnicism and colonizer’s identity. But cultural studies is not just seen in context with the British scenario. It has developed in different nations (Australia, America, Canada, Africa, Italy, etc.) and these nations have their own version of cultural studies. In USA, cultural studies was founded by James Carey, Lawrence Grossberg and George Lipsitz who brought it from Britain to America. Some versions of British cultural studies have been pursued in USA yet it has come to mean something different in USA than in Britain. In USA, cultural studies is influenced by the left-wing intellectual tradition which can be seen in the works of seminal feminist Betty Friedan and Marxian sociologist C. Wright Mills. The work of Michael Denning has also been influential in shaping the field of American studies by importing and interpreting the work of British cultural studies. His works are significantly influenced by Stuart Hall with whom he had spent time at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies. In his book ‘The Cultural Front ‘, Michael Denning has attempted to provide the American genealogy for cultural studies by reconsidering the popular art of the 1930s and 1940s. He has captured in it, the legacy of 30s Popular Front intellectuals for cultural studies. They were the thinkers who were important and influential to the development of post-war American studies.…
