During Vincent Van Gogh’s childhood years, and even before he was born, impressionism was the most common form of art. Impressionism was a very limiting type of art, with certain colors and scenes one must paint with. A few artists had grown tired of impressionism, however, and wanted to create their own genre of art. These artists, including Paul Gaugin, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Paul Cezanne, hoped to better express themselves by painting ...
“We are a nation of immigrants. We are the children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the ones who wanted a better life” said former Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, at the 2012 Republican National Convention. Since its establishment, the United States has grown through immigration, lending to a multicultural society. However, immigration and its government policies have become of great public interest due to illegal immigration at the Mexican border and violent events in the Middle East. For this reason it seems sensible to investigate the lives of immigrants so that U.S. citizens may take a stance on this disputed topic. Regardless of their origins, whether they are from Latin America, Asia, or anywhere else, immigrants seem to encounter similar endeavors. In Jhumpa Lahiri’s collection of short stories, Interpreter of Maladies, the author depicts the immigration of Indian citizens to the United States. Noting various matters ranging from motives to the cultural identity crisis, Lahiri exposes the struggles and ramifications of American immigration. The collection elucidates the lives of first and second generation
26 The painting named The White Robed Kannon is an example of his use of the doshakuga tradition of imagery.27 While Kao and Mokuan were less versatile then Mincho, they still left excellent ink figure pantings that also used the doshakuga tradition of art. 28 When it comes to both Kao and Mokuan there is a confusion abou the identity of the painter using the Kao and Ninga seals, and it has been suggested that Kao was professional Buddhist painter affiliated Takuma School of Artists, but judging by the work bearing the seals Kao was not a trained
Now that there is an understanding of the paintings and their history we will compare and contrast the elements of design of each painting. The first element of design that will be looked at is line. Line has two characteristics, one is direction and the other is linear quality. Direction of line is “related to our experience of gravity” (Notes). These lines can be either horizontal or vertical. Horizontal lines are calm and balanced lines as seen in “The Death of Socrates”. Vertical lines “defy gravity” (Notes) and contain dynamic lines. Dynamic lines are diagonal lines that give art work a sense of movement, implied action. They use of vertical lines is best seen in “The Death of Sardanapalus” because of the dynamic use of lines in the painting
The point of departure for Stella in 1958 for his new approach to abstraction was the flag paintings of Jasper Johns. Using various devices, Stella emphasized the flatness of the painting pattern, abolishing the three-dimensional image, and he was uncompromising as he refused to permit the introduction of deep recession behind the picture plane. The result was that the figure-ground relationship was almost completely eliminated as the stripes and orthogonal constituting the picture echoed the contours of the format. To achiev...

“Vasari's book offers his personal evaluation of the works of these artists, as well as discussions on the state of the arts. His easy, natural writing style helped to make his book one of the most enduring of art histories.”
However, from the beginning of his Poussin’s career, his paintings were easily recognized for his notable prominence on line and contours. This revealed that he was more interested in craftsmanship as well as the spur of the tradition. In his Classicism, the pose, gesture and facial expression of each portrait was important as it depicted the overall meaning without detailed thinking.
Claude Monet and Camile Pissarro were two of the founders of Impressionism, a movement that was largely influenced by its predecessor, Realism. Originally, Monet’s career in art started with him drawing caricatures of the townspeople of Le Havre. Then in 1857, he met en plein-air painter, Eugène Boudin. He urged a reluctant eighteen year old Monet to paint outdoors, encouraging him to “see the light.” Boudin’s teachings would later influence Monet as he met artists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley in 1862. Together they refined plein–air painting; they investigated the effects of light as they painted with broken colours and rapid brushstrokes across a canvas. In contrast was Pissarro as his earliest works were rendered in the more traditional Academic style-invisible brushstrokes, and realistic subject matter. Though in 1859, his works became looser and freer, greatly influenced by Camille Corot’s rural scenes and Gustave Courbet’s plein-air paintings.
Claude’s first drawing lesson that he undertook was from a man named Jacques-Francois Ochard, a former student of Jacquis-Louis David. In 1856, Monet had met his fellow artist Eugene Boudin who had became his mentor. He was taught how to use oil paint and was taught the techniques for paint “en plein air”. When Claude Monet was 16 years old and left his school, his mother had died on January 28th 1857. He had decided to go live with his aunt, Marie-Jeanne Lecadre who was childless.
Art is not confined only to paintings or drawings. It can also be dancing, writing and music. Since, the range of art is very large, it brings up the question if anyone can be an artist. There are no restrictions on who can be an arti...
