Analysis Of Art And Ultimate Reality By Paul Tillich

The painting itself has a plethora of things going on it and there is a lot of symbolism in this piece of art. In the sky, it looks like there is either a moon or a sun that it is setting in the sky. The moon or sun is about a

However, to further implement how magical realism constitute how this painting is conveyed, the exact meaning behind this trait must be explored. Magic realism is described by a twist in the usual conventions and shows a more fantastical interpretation in the

The convergence of the implied lines forming the river banks with the fading blue mountains on the right produce a left to right movement when viewing the painting. The invisible lines created by the mountain range and the river emphasize direction by moving the viewer from a narrow and cramped foreground to a vastly open background that seems to go on for miles. His use of lines to produce this movement down the river has an effect of taking the viewer on a short ride into the distance towards the open mountains under a clear blue sky with white fluffy clouds. In contrast the buildings in the distance are enveloped in white with much softer lines and less defined outlines. This progression from clearly outlined and defined to less defined and wispy shapes communicates the thought of starting a journey in firm reality and moving down a dreamy river towards the unknown. Carefree clouds, beautiful mountains, and blue water just take the viewer to a more serene place, away from the reality of the

The six trees are very evident when you first look at the painting more often than not it will be the first thing that catches your eye. There are multiple rivers around the painting nevertheless they are all connected in some way. One of the other main focal points that grabs the eye is the white

The first thing to note is the overall composition of the painting. First and foremost it is a landscape painting. The colors are very monochrome; the space is stretched to reveal a depth to the painting that the eye cannot capture; and there is stillness to the art that embraces nature and serenity of life. In the right-hand corner of the painting there is calligraphy. The calligraphy lacks the precision, but is very clear in its form, much like the depiction within the painting

The scene was painted during the day with the sun casting a shadow to imply that’s probably around noon, since the shadow is short. Shadows that are long are cast at sunrise or sunset due the angle of the sun on the earth. The first thing I noticed about the painting was the cow with its rib showing to imply malnourishment. The colors in the painting make it look like a bright cartoon scene even though it shows land devastation and the starvation of the cow. The lines in the picture of the horizon show them to be parallel with the roof of the house, which implies a flat landscape.

On the right side of the painting, we see bright colors illuminating the beautiful, rich fauna and flora of the landscape, with a clear blue sky as an idealization of the perfect world. On the left side, we see a bright force pushing Adam and Eve into the world where not everything is bright and shine, nature is somehow destroyed, fauna is wild, the sky is obscure and the mountains cover the light of the sun; a world where the reality is, that if you want something you have to work for it and errors or broken rules would have

I like this painting because of the feeling and memories it reminds me of. The water and rocks remind me of all my childhood memories of swimming in the water and hiking mountains. The bright and light colors create a cheerful and

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but maybe they are worth far more than that. Pictures, although seemingly simple in nature, are extremely complex. Far too often, people overlook what a picture truly is. When a person looks at an image, they most likely see only the image, nothing else. Many people do not look deep enough into an image to fully comprehend the true meaning of it. However, when an individual begins to truly study an image in an attempt to understand the true complexity of it, they will be surprised at what they overlooked before. As stated by French Realist Painter, Gustave Courbet, “Fine art is knowledge made visible.”

It is a beautiful painting. In the painting, the sun appears to be shining down upon the mountain range. The light appears to be almost religious. The way it is painted causes your eyes to be drawn into the light, in the center of the painting. The waterfall and lake appear to be still and the animals (deer or elf I presume) look west.

of experience" (194) This argument relies on the precept that art is reality is not nature or a reflection of nature

It has a very unique point of view. The bright white of the wall on the left directs your eyes to the bright pop of color on the leaves. Your eyes then wander to the water in the background. This painting just flows together so well. It gives me a sense of calmness but for others back in 1898, a sadness overwhelmed them because it was once home to

When I saw the painting for the first time it grabbed my attention. At first I thought it was the beautiful colors that attracted me to the painting, but it was more. In the picture the shadowy men look scared. They looked as though they were trying to run away from something and this lake that forms into this river that is surrounded by tall grass is the way out, or at least a place to hide until the coast is clear. During that time in my life I felt

The history of art dates back to ancient times. Artwork can be, and was, found around the world. What makes art interesting is that it can be created in any way, shape or form with any materials. It seems that the artwork can also tell us a lot about the artist. Art seems to be simply, a direct, visual reflection of the artist’s life. Therefore, one can assume that an artist’s life experiences and beliefs directly influence their art. If we look at examples from different periods of art we will be able to see the connection between the artist and the art.
