Fireflies are so beautiful. They disappear and magically appear at some distance in the dark giving the illusion of something out of this world. I can’t remember when was the last time I saw a firefly. I guess it was way back when I was a little kid. Those were the times when long hours of power cuts in the evening and absence of a backup power source used to bring our daily works to a halt.

Grandfather Connor Very aggressive, cold demeanor similar to the bunkhouse. Always tries to find a reason to get mad like the train being late or Grandmother

close in July of 1869 when he joined the art business as a dealer for Goupil & Co. This was a family tradition, as three of his uncles, including one also by the name of Vincent, were also art dealers. Vincent’s brother Theo would also become an art dealer four years after him. As a young child, Vincent was not known for his own creation of art. Though his family made a great impact on his view of dealing art, he was not an art prodigy like other famous arts such as Henri de Toulous-Lautrec and Pablo

The initiator of the Flemish painting, and considered as a pioneer the Nordic of the first Renaissance. Jan van Eyck, together with the Master of Flemalle (Robert Campin) and Rogier van Weyden, were the most famous artists of this school, and the most virtuous in the use of oil. Good as a camera painter and a man of trust. This status granted him the benefit of his respectable reputation giving him great artistic freedom. van Eyck settles in Bruges where he dies years later. His work stands out especially

original developer of a certain thing, whether it be art or a mechanical invention but is anything ever purely original? One way or another we are inspired by others and the things around us. Creating their own masterpieces, both Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon & Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) were inspired by Paul Cézanne’s, The Large Bathers but made their own paintings great by not binding their self to it but expressing their art differently.

lips. Also, the face appears to be emerging out from the darkness. The use of beeswax makes the skin appear more realistic and the thick oil paint provides further texture to the surface. It is located in the Aberdeen Art Gallery and is considered a piece of “Contemporary British Art.” The idea that this piece is a self portrait is truly frightening because most people use self portraits to capture the beautiful things about their life but Curie uses this self portrait to capture the hard times of

The question of beauty has been asked since the beginning of time and yet there is still no precise answer. When discussing this same question and applying it to works of art a number of answers could be as large as the population. Henri Matisse and Francis Bacon have both inspired artists for generations and are considered to be opposite sides of the coin. Matisse created paintings with bright, happy colors mixing in patterns and showed life as it was viewed from the outside, leading to the idea

generates the image of a gloomy winter season, incorporates a heavy contrast between light and dark shadows and represents the era of the 1990s in New York. This painting depicts a busy winter afternoon in Broadway, New York. (See Figure 1) The art work’s color palette is very earthy with a variety of shades including blues,

In Art 101, we have been studying various art works but our group was intrigued by chapter twenty. This chapter is about the history between the eighteenth century and nineteenth century. We discuss the classical look for paintings and architecture. We also see how they develop through the following years. I find it most appealing with how many cultures created such art I will explain later. With European culture increasing with ideas, it created the art world we have today. There are three specific

The Gathering is an acrylic painting of a woodpile in Peterborough, NH. The image represents the gathering of ideas and people that led the painting’s success. The first visual element that comes to mind when I look at this painting is the direction. The painting’s direction is vertical because it gives the illusion that the viewer is looking towards the top of a hill to a woodpile. The woodpile is considered the “figure” in which is detached and focused on while the surround hill is the “ground”
