    Frankenthaler's Painting Analysis

    “Reconsidering the Stain on Gender and the Body in Frankenthaler’s Painting” written by art historian Lisa Saltzman, discusses the dissolution of boundaries between gender categories throughout post World War 2 America. Saltzman’s central argument focuses on America’s patriarchal society and their necessity to restore hierarchy and social order when faced with the potential shift in power with the rise of influence of the female gender. In this article Saltzman uses Frankenthaler’s painterly process “the stain” as the backbone for her central argument, as Frankenthaler had an unique disposition (in art historic purposes) for being the catalyst in the construction of male and female bodies. The stain being the area of focus was dismissed with…

    Analysis Of Frank Stella's Flin Flon VIII

    I was drawn to this painting due to its simplistic design and vibrant colors that forces the viewer to keep looking. The painting attracted my attention and every time I looked at it, I felt as if I found something new about it every time. As I continued to examine the painting its complexity continued to grow with every minute that I looked at it. Also, the size of the painting was large compared to the others in the gallery immediately making me feel that the painting had more significance and prestige than the others around it. The combination of the designs, the color and the size, overall made this painting an obvious choice for my research paper.…

    Natchez: Painting Analysis

    I have chosen an art from the Realism and Romantic period for my project and will compare paintings by Jean-François Millet title The Gleaners and Eugène Delacroix title The Natchez. These two pictures have similar landscapes but hides the hardship and suffering whice have been shewed from the foreground of the paintings. Judging from the pictures The Gleaner and The Natchez, it is fair to say that “Picture say a thousand words” but hides the true story. The Gleaner painting was created in 1857 and the foreground of the photos shows three women in the field planting or harvesting crops and a beautiful landscape.…

    Canadian Identity

    Canada’s identity has always been considered to be a cultural mosaic of many international elements. On the surface, it may seem difficult to describe what exactly is the culture of this vast country. However, if one examines the history of Canadian art and compares it to the development of Canadian identity, one can easily discern their correlation. The rise of Canadian artistic expression in the 20th century greatly contributed to the Canadian identity by illustrating the growing nationalism in accompaniment to a stronger sense of independence. The evolution of the various sectors of art, such as the unique Canadian landscapes painted by the Group of Seven, the distinctive aboriginal folklore and songs gathered and promoted by Helen Creighton,…

    The vanishing Canadian is first and foremost, a recollection of White and native relations after the natives degradation. Particularly, the majority of it focused on artistic relations. But perhaps the most pressing aspect is what sells in our culture. Rather than the white consumer wanting authenticity, and education, they want exploitative entertainment. It is for this reason that artists like Paul Cane gained immense respect and notoriety, while others such as Edmund Morris died without recognition.…

    The Painted Man Analysis

    That idea of white trash is prevalent in the south, and it’s possible her family was the definition of it. Parents that married straight out of high school for the mother to escape an abusive family.

Growing up on a street of only the Call and Baldwin family, she was surrounded by only relatives. Living in a one story ranch with a blue tin roof, and with the county famous “Paint Man” as a father.…

    Macabre Art Analysis

    When thinking about this topic and how to address it I first began to really try and understand the meaning of macabre. The official definition is “disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury” and its implication can be clearly seen in the images we have viewed in class. The whole idea of the macabre is thought to have come from a dark time in history and represents more than simply grisly images. The artwork I decided to truly focus on is Hans Baldung Grien, Three Ages of Woman and Death, Germany, c. 1510.…

We will do this by using his artworks Everybody always thinks that they are right, Obsessions make my life worse but my work better, and The happy show. 2 RESEARCH AND VISUAL ANALYSIS Firstly we have figure 1, Everybody always thinks that they are…
