Analysis Of James Rosenquist F 111

751 Words2 Pages

James Rosenquist F-111 (1964-65) had to be the most epic piece to be seen at MOMA. I walked into the MOMA thinking, I doubt anything worthwhile will be at MOMA. Not because MOMA isn 't a fantastic museum, but the truth is Modern to Contemporary art just isn’t my cup of tea. Turns out, I was dead wrong. MOMA is a fantastic place to be, even for a hater,such as I. While wandering around the MOMA, I came across, this painting. It immediately consumed me. This piece is gigantic. I remember walking in and going blank. The only word that managed to slip out of my mouth was “Woah”. I kid you not, I probably just stood there dumbfounded. I was put in some trance, This painting has to be seen in person, Or else its essential value will not be appreciated. Rosenquist was not an artist we learned about in class, so I decided to figure out what kind of art he did. By the looks of it, It was Pop art, not similar to Warhol, but not that different from either. The work had a unique touch to it. In class we learned that art has evolved, that it isn 't just a painting within it’s ei...

    New York City is known for its extensive collection of art museums ranging from the Metropolitan Museum of Art which is usually the most renowned to others such as the the Solomon R. Guggenheim or the Whitney Museum of American Art which are popular in their own rights. This abundance of art museums makes the city very attractive for foreign visitors. However, this abundance of choice can overwhelm even the most informed visitors who have a finite amount of time to explore what the city has to offer. Although all of the above mentioned museums have great collections of their own, the often unheralded Frick Collections might trump them all in terms of exceptional works which include some of the world's most celebrated Western artists, such as Goya, Manet, Monet, Rembrandt, and Renoir.

  • Visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Viewing the Asian Art Collections

    1561 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Metropolitan Museum of Art has one of the finest Asian art collections that has enlightened and strengthened my understanding in my personal art experience. The Museum itself is an artistic architectural structure that graces the entire block on 82nd Street in Manhattan. Entering inside, I sensed myself going back into an era, into a past where people traded ideas and learned from each other. It is a past, where I still find their works of yesteryears vividly within my grasp, to be remembered and shared as if their reflections of works were cast for the modern devoted learner.

  • Painting : Peeling Onions, By Lilly Martin Spencer

    Seeing the art in person truly made me see the beauty and captivity a painting can hold. Each gallery was filled with different American works. My favorite kind of paintings are the ones I can look at and immediately write a story in my head about what is happening, even if it not what the artist intended. As I was going through the galleries one painting in particular stuck in my mind. I was fortunate enough to experience a special exhibition called, “Audubon to Warhol.” It was composed of different works acquired from private and public collections. I was lured to the emotions that was captured by the main figure in one of the works. I was drawn not only to the beauty of the painting, but the story it shared. The painting I chose was Peeling Onions, by Lilly Martin Spencer.

  • The Rauschenberg Art Piece

    923 Words  | 2 Pages

    At the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Rauschenberg art piece was definitely one form of art I once did not consider to be art. The artwork is not exactly a painting to me but certainly an illustration of something that is connected to real day to day objects. It was created by the artist Robert Rauschenberg in 1954. It is oil on canvas painting which is eighty by ninety six in size and the materials used are oil, paper, fabric and metal which are all on wood. It looks quite messy, with materials like newspapers, cut out fabrics, the colors’ drips and how they are splashed around. The image doesn’t look attractive but it sure does attract different ideas from the viewers on what the image itself is trying to portray.

  • Thomas Hart Bentons June Morning.

    563 Words  | 2 Pages

    I never go anywhere alone. After a depressive Saturday morning I finally crawled out of bed and went to the Cummer Museum. Art is one thing that I don’t understand. How people can find deeper meanings from paint on a canvas is Japanese to me. When I look at a painting I see exactly what is being shown and nothing more. There is no deeper meaning evident. Being at this museum cranky and solo trying to find a picture I felt connected to was almost impossible. It took me about ten minutes to go through the whole museum. But in one of the last sections I went in there was finally something that my eyes were drawn to. An image that made me want to find the deeper meaning. Thomas Hart Benton’s June Morning.

    Many might have been working on Good Friday, but many others were enjoying The Frist Museum of Visual Arts. A museum visitor visited this exhibit on April 14, 2017 early in the morning. The time that was spent at the art museum was approximately two hours and a half. The first impression that one received was that this place was a place of peace and also a place to expand the viewer’s imagination to understand what artists were expressing to the viewers. The viewer was very interested in all the art that was seen ,but there is so much one can absorb. The lighting in the museum was very low and some of the lighting was by direction LED lights. The artwork was spaciously

    When beginning my sketch, I took a moment to analyze the work of art and found that the statue illuminated a sense of serenity. Like most viewers my initial reaction was to explore the statue from head to toe as I sought out the different elements and principles of art. The statue was close to life-size and just about my height, so looking straightforward we were eye to eye. I noticed the softness gathered about the facial structure, but all the same time the depth and complexity that was engulfed around the muscularity of the body. The rigorous symmetry was accounte...

    The Metropolitan Museum of Art came about as an idea from Jon Jay in Paris, France in 1866 with the idea of “national institution gallery of art” within the United States.

With the help of the Union League Club in NY they began to acquire civic leaders, businessmen, artists, and collectors who aided in the creation of the museum.

  • Story Of Joseph Vs. The Market Place

    The location of the artwork was located on the 2nd floor of the museum. It was kind of difficult to find as it is not listed on the map. The painting is framed and placed near the corner of the entrance to another room. The artwork measured about 3 feet by 6 feet. It is placed near paintings of portraits. This was one of the reasons why I choose this painting. As soon as I walked into the room, it caught my eyes right away as not only was it different from the other artwork in the room but it also consisted of many colors in the paintings. It was also one of the biggest artwork in the room. The room itself was fairly large. There was enough lighting to get a good look at the art work but much dimmer compare to the other rooms. The lighting fits perfectly with the period. Every artwork in the room was spread out evenly with enough spacing between them. There were about 2 artworks near the center of the room but most of the artworks were hung up against the wall.

  • Edgar Degas Art Analysis

    Although a picture is worth a thousand words, I believe one could only tell truly what goes around if he/she her faces it. I object the idea of taking pictures of the artwork. When I was at the museum it was hard for me to take a picture of the Interior. The colors would not appear the same as compare to how they actually were in person. I could not even get the details of the artwork in the picture. Before visiting the museum, when I looked up the images for the painting I could not really tell artists truly feeling behind the work of art. Even though artistic elements such as composition, form etc were available in an image of a painting; the image altered the paint color, the skill and style with the medium, and our perception of reality. We can not depict the genuine identity of an artwork from it 's digital image or print. In essence, this made me realize how a person needs to see an artwork in person to really know what it looks
