1503 Technique: Watercolor This painting of a meadow from the perspective of a small animal, which is a great example of northern Renaissance art, was painted by Albrecht Dürer in 1503 (nga.gov) The technique used to create it is watercolor. Although this piece of art was created by observing separate plants and then combining them into one painting, Dürer did this with such great attention to detail and composition that he made us believe that this is a painting of an existing patch of a…

“European art” exhibition held at San Diego museum of art, which is the oldest art museum in the region. The size of this oil panel painting is about 147.32 cm x 94.93 cm large, it is big enough to let the viewers look closely to the main figure’s facial expression and details on the technics of the painting. But due the figures are all jam together and the form of this painting is a bit cut off on the top right and left of the figures. So the far back of the figures and scenery are hard to see…

Upon visiting the Jack Shainman Gallery, I was captivated by a light installation piece of art made from a famous photograph. The name of the photograph is called “The Soiling of Old Glory” by Stanley Forman. This picture is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph taken in Boston during a riot in front of a courthouse in 1976 (Highbrow). The exhibition I chose to study belongs to Hank Willis Thomas and is called What We Ask Is Simple. Just with reading the name alone I was intrigued. To view this…

The photograph of the Bath, Pocono Palace was taken in 1980 at Marshall Creek in Pennsylvania by Lucinda Devlin. This was for her series of Pleasure Ground photos. I will say that this is a photograph taken upside down of the bathtub and that the size is 14 fonts. The reason for this photograph of choice was because it gave me a sense of memory while the other pieces of artwork gave me no satisfaction. Since I was examining this photograph, I was intrigued by its one-point linear perspective,…

The artwork I chose to talk about in this assignment is the Seated Bather by Picasso. When I was looking through the textbook this piece of art caught my attention more so than any other piece. Why I have no idea but I like it a lot. The artwork is abstract because you can clearly see what looks like a woman supposedly taking a bath hence the blue background but she is presented in a very odd form. Her face is divided into different shapes and structures; her hair is actually very close to…

The artwork The Parc Monceau made in 1878 by Claude Monet is an oil on canvas painting. The painting is 28 5/8 inches horizontally by 21 3/8 inches vertically. I discovered this piece of art online through the Metropolitan Museum of Art website located in New York, New York, along with many other of his art pieces, but this one I appreciated the most. The Parc Monceau is a representational and figurative painting because it depicts scenery we see in real life as well as people just slightly…
