This piece was created by M.C. Escher using a lithograph. This is a very detailed piece of art. If you look in the center-to the bottom-you can see two hidden lizards. Although, there is also other hidden parts if you look closely. This piece would be in the genre capriccio which is living piece of music, as you can see the little boy holding the trumpet. Also, the style of this piece is surrealism which is a movement in art. This piece of art was created using a lithograph. It also has lots of movement. For example, when you look at it your eyes follow the staircases, it doesn’t matter if you are going up or down. M.C. Escher repeated the stairs so your eyes could follow the movement then he had little things on the side for you to notice.
It consists of three very Large triangles that take up all the space on the page that they are printed on. There are 5 colors used, not including the white background. It appears that each triangle was intended to represent a pyramid. As each triangle was printed, one looks further than the other. The first appears close, and has a blue center running down the middle, vertically. Then it has two thin black colored lines running up the sides of the blue center vertically, then red, orange, and yellow lines running up vertically along the sides of each other, all in that order, appearing to be symmetrical. The second triangle is the exact same way, yet appears a little further back as if it is off in the distance, with the first triangle overlapping the bottom left corner. It is also in the center of the portrait, as the first triangle is on the left side of the portrait. The third triangle is the same in color, and is also off in the distance, further back than the middle. The bottom left corner is overlapped by the middle triangle, as the middle triangles bottom left corner is overlapped by the left triangle. As each triangle was printed, it appears that they slowly and gradually fade. The first is very distinct and detailed in color. The second is the same way, yet a little faded. The third is very dim, and appears to have the same colors, but is just a lighter shade. Since the only color in the piece are
This art design was created by a man named, George Inness. He is an American artist and this just so happens to be one of his well-known paintings. Inness’s is known for landscape painting. His education is in “National Academy Museum and School”. The painting of his artwork, “The Lackawanna Valley” is a 2D piece of art; it shows very interesting elements. Two important elements that stick out are value and lines. You can tell from the background of the picture how the mountains are very light because it’s something that’s supposed to be seen from very far away and once you get closer to the actual flat land the color starts to darken and appear more clear. He used a lot of organic and irregular lines to demonstrate the trails. The colors shown
Joseph Hirsch’s painting Daniel was painted in 1976-1977. In 1978 during the153rd Annual Exhibition of the National Academy of Design, it won the First Benjamin Altman (Figure) prize. It measures 38 inches by 45 inches with a five-inch gold wood frame surrounding it. The medium is oil on stretch canvas. Everything within the painting centers on the king 's turned head and Daniel 's pointing finger. According to the placard next to the painting, the artwork depicts a modern day version of the biblical story of Belshazzar’s Feast following the sacking of Jesualism from the Book of Daniel. The painting portrays a seated king, a dozing courtesan and Daniel. The three figures exist as the focal point of the composition. Hirsch applies a strong
While not much can be said from looking at Paul Revere’s engraving about how the riot began, one can compare the actual riot to the eye witness testimonies. When comparing the witness testimonies of the Boston Massacre themselves a few differences are noted. Add to the mix Paul Revere’s engraving and even more differences are seen. However, there are things both witnesses agree on that are not depicted in Revere’s engraving. One such similarity is the crowd throwing snow balls at the troops and being armed with clubs (Preston, Page 2 and Boston Gazette, Page 1). In Revere’s engraving the crowd appears to be unarmed, and many of those who don’t appear to be dead look to be running away from the troops. It would seem that Revere’s depiction of
To figure this out, one must first learn about the piece. This image was presented along with 7 others in the Art Gallery of Ontario, on a wall covered in punctured latex, giving the illusion of open wounds, the blue reminiscent of a hospital. All of the images are turned on their sides, and appear to be grouped in pairs, each one
The artist chooses a single block of white marble to carve this figure. The focal point falls on the crossing of the knee with the right arm resting on the left leg. Also, the figure's body is positioned more diagonal than vertically. From the top of the figure's head to the bottom of the platform. The artist used horizontal lines as well as vertical lines. The starting and stopping points are parallel to each other. The lines that define detail to the figures, jewelry, head piece, belt, tassel and arm of the chair all repeat the use
The painting is organized simply. The background of the painting is painted in an Impressionist style. The blurring of edges, however, starkly
It was a huge display that looked like a cloth stand with fabrics hanging off. But when I looked closer, I realized that this work was made out of different types of metals such as lead, and steel. Pinheiro also modified hoses to make it more colourful, and she placed a pair of gloves in front of the work to create a sense of boundary. It is admirable how Pinheiro explored different kind of materials to create art, and how she was able to make such supple visual effects with rigid materials.
This piece has an overall dark configuration. Near the middle of the etching there are five rectangular windows of white with each one having its own tentacle like tail coming out of it. At the bottom there is a lighter textured foreground suggestion a forest or shrubbery. This composition has a surreal quality. When discussing the name Night Moves it could suggest dreaming or the idea of monsters that come out only at night. The tails contain multiple marks causing a unique texture.
The oil painting is an attempt to map the motion and energy of the body. It is a sequential depiction of movement split into a series of about twenty different static positions that show a nude figure descending a flight of stairs. The nude, like the notion of the painting, is abstract, composed of conical and cylindrical shapes and elements, assembled in a way that suggests the rhythm of the body when going downstairs. The colours used are those typical of Cubist paintings - ochres and browns. This is because Cubists felt that using a
On Painting by Leon Alberti is, in essence, a book of guidelines for novice painters. Alberti explains that since paintings are meant to represent things that are seen, they need also be approached this way. In his theory, he breaks up the way of painting into three important components circumscription, composition, and the reception of light. Within these three are guidelines for the portrayal of subjects, spaces and emotion.
There is also a mirror placed on the table allowing the viewers to link with space beyond the frame. Also in the far back right of the painting you can see a young man talking to an elderly. The artist created an very old or old-fashioned look by using opposing colors, red and green. “The second half of the fifteenth century in northern Europe saw an expansion of genre
The use of line in this piece is also very interesting. The artist employs a high horizontal line to create a plunging effect giving the piece more depth. Another use of lines in the image is to create focal points to attract the viewer. Lines are also used to separate the different sections of the painting. Overall this painting uses lines in dynamic ways that vastly enhance the viewers’ pleasure and admiration of the piece.
This piece of art is pretty unusual, chilling, and creepy to some people. You enter the room, walk around in this room, and you feel uneasy and creeped out. You feel a sense of death as you walk through. There is no color, it is only a white room with what looks like thick black cobwebs hanging all around the room, from the ceiling to the floor. the “cobwebs” is what gives the uneasy feeling. To me, it looks like you are walking through caves with they way they were rounded on top and how low they come down. Some of the webs are covering the same object all over the room, beds. White beds with white sheets, again all of the room is white. These beds remind me of beds you would find in a old fashion hospital or in an asylum, thin mattresses,
It is a painting using the swirling turmoil of line to make up the piece. You can tell this is a painting by the different styles of line and color.
