    Rivera’s painting are often controversial and spark debate in all kinds of circles, whether it be for his political affiliations or the subject matter of the paintings themselves. In a way, Pan American Unity avoids some of this controversy with his themes of unification and harmony. One might think that the North and South, in this case the United States and Mexico, stand diametrically opposed to one another, but Rivera sought to unite them in common themes. He showed how the labors of the Mexican farmers and ingenious people were not that dis-similar from the backbreaking work of the Detroit autoworkers. Most, if not all, scenes depicted show Mexicans and Americans side…

    The painting explores a variety of strong colors imposed by the different scenes split into three areas. Diego Rivera, in simplified shapes and vivid rainbow like coloring, beautifully rescues the notion to point out the focal subject matter of the decade, as the most significant moments in the American History. As a communist, Rivera implements his dedication to echoes his opinion on the clear reality of the country at the time. Muralism and Cubism scheme stresses the lines that shape up the structure of each scene as important pieces of history. 3.…

    Orozco’s painting Hidalgo was painted in 1949 at the governor’s palace in Guadalajara. The ceiling painted mural at the governor’s palace is very intimidating when one first looks at it as you ascend its stairs. Father Hidalgo was a Mexican Catholic priest that advocated for the war of independence from Spain. In the mural Orozco is wielding a torch and is standing over several other scenes that tie into his vigilance against…

    Although one of the first few paintings displayed, Richard Caton Woodville’s oil on canvas War News from Mexico (1848) captured my attention. His painting captures a group of people gathered around one gentleman who is reading the newspaper on the porch of a hotel. All the people have some expression on their face of what appears to be shock, disbelief, or even wonder. Woodsville use of vertical and horizontal lines brings shape to the hotel, its pillars, the porch and the steps leading up to the porch. Woodsville’s color pallet is mostly darker in color, greys, blacks, browns, while using a touch of white and red to accent key features of his painting.…

    Some objects in the painting are a pregnant woman, a burning candle, a skull, and a cross lying on the table under some books. The way the woman’s head is rested on her hand and she is staring into the candle light, shows that she is in deep thought. I believe that the woman is reflecting upon her life. She looks to be pregnant, which represents life. The unity of…

    The mural painted by an artist shows a Hispanic man who’s going to war with other Hispanic men a few feet above him on horses. The man holds a weapon and a flag which resembles his country. His expression is nowhere near fear instead it’s courage and commitment on what he’s going to do. There’s a title stating “La Revolucion Mexicana” that translates to The Mexican Revolution that happened in Mexico. Then a phrase “I rather die on my feet than live on my knees” is a metaphor of what the man in the painting had to say. In relations to an image, this painting signifies a protest from the Hispanic…

    Pablo Picasso was a renowned 20th century Spanish artist. One of his most famous works, Guernica, was created to be the centerpiece for the Spanish Pavilion of the 1937 World's Fair. This painting is a powerful political statement and expresses without words the devastation of war. Picasso’s inspiration was the 1937 bombing of Guernica, Spain by the Nazi’s. Guernica depicts the horrific consequences of war and how effected those involved are, especially the innocents. Though the painting received poor reviews from the Germans and Soviets, a German fair guide stated that the painting was "a hodgepodge of body parts that any four-year-old could have painted…” I find it to be extremely meaningful. Guernica is a symbolic representation of the ruin…

    Picasso used several principle and element of art while painting “Guernica”. Some of the elements include value, line, shape, color and, space. The value in the painting creates the form. The line in the piece divides the images. The images in the painting are made using shape. The color is limited using only black, white and, gray. Space is incorporated because everything in the painting is cramped and in one room. Some of the principals in “Guernica” are emphasis, balance, movement and, contrast. The emphasis is on the damage war causes to not just people but animals as well. The balance in the piece is asymmetrical. There is also implied movement throughout the entire piece as well as, contrast between the light and darks.…

    I believe this painting shows a loss of identity. This is the reason I chose this as my favorite piece of art, because I can relate to it. There came a time in my life where I was struggling with my own identity. In today's world it is very significant to identify oneself with at least one thing (ones ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, or a particular belief). Many people still grapple with the notion of identity in many countries, regions, and various ways in order to fit or adapt into any environment (social, economic, cultural, political, etc). One’s identity determines ones position or situation in society wherever one lives. However, finding the right type of…
