Pink Wave, the artwork in which I choose was created by Ed Clark, an artist born in 1926 in New Orleans, Louisiana whom is now relocated in New York. Ed Clark is a colored painter. His art style is sophisticated abstract. Pink Wave was created in 2006. Pink Wave represents samples of Ed Clarks technique while he was living in New York. Pink Wave was created by using acrylic paint. Ed Clark says “art is not subject to political games; its importance elevates it above any racial difference. All men of talent, of noble spirit, can make it."
Initially when I first viewed this artwork my response was this artist was maybe trying to do an expressive piece. Pink Wave was created in what looks like an art studio where Ed Clark used a broom-like long

The feelings that this painting evokes is joy because of the vibrant colors that this piece of work displays. It also brings calmness and piece. Pink Wave is still intact. In fact, it was only made ten years prior from now. Pink Wave as of now has not been altered. Evidence that proves that is that it still remains in The Perez Art Museum. The materials this artwork was created with was acrylic painting on a canvas using a large janitor broom. Yes, I do believe Ed Clark painting Pink Wave was effective,
. Pink Wave, subject matter is a variety of exuberant diverse colors that all collaborate together to form a beautiful art piece. This piece of work exemplifies Clarks signature style. The material/ medium of the artwork is a huge splash of colorful and powerful brushstrokes. Clark pours acrylic on canvas and when he uses the broom it often has debris still embedded on it and just begins to paint. Clark uses an expressive yet also a detailed medium. As you get a better view of the painting you can see the technique that he used with the brushes to produce different textures. Pink Wave, is an abstract

I was quite impressed with how Clark made the different colors fit and how it eventually turned into a great piece. The painting does a great job with communicating its subject matter. I believe that Ed Clark did not have a specific goal for creating this artwork in fact he says that he never knows what his painting will turn out to be nor will he be able to understand it. "I'm still trying to paint that painting...I'm never satisfied with my paintings - but I'm less satisfied with everybody else. I believe Clark was trying to give a cool, warm, and vivid expression. I definitely agree that this work succeeded in expressing the intent of the artist. Pink Wave, is a current work that involves and displays Ed Clarks technique. The technique that was used in this artwork shows what Clark did during his early years in New York. Pink wave story is a former way of abstract expressionism. Ed Clark uses his body. It helps him to create the gigantic, gestural marks that he wants. Pink Wave meaning is deep. The use of the janitor broom gives reference to dirt, divisions of social class, and manual labor in abstraction
The historical painting I chose for my final, is an illustration of Bret Harte’s novel, Her Letter, His Response, and Her Last Letter, creatively illustrated by Arthur Ignatius Keller in 1905. The historical painting I chose for the comparison of Arthur Keller’s painting is another painting done by Arthur I Keller; illustrated for 54-40 or Fight by Emerson Hough, in 1909. Arthur I Keller is a very natural, elegant style painter, with an eye for natural beauty. Keller’s many paintings express intricate detail, and genuine quality. Although I picked two water color paintings out of Arthur Keller’s many collections of paintings, he also uses charcoal, acrylics, oils, and pastels to create other works of art. In both paintings I chose, Arthur Keller uses water color and gouache to paint people. Arthur’s first painting I mentioned, illustrating “Her Letter” is a more detailed painting. Keller uses water color to create a graceful look to his painting; his delicate balance of color, keeps the viewer’s eyes wandering around the painting. The focal point in the painting does not catch the viewer’s eyes because of heavy, dark colors, but because of the proportion differences of the people he implies. The painting gives off a very old fashioned feel, in a tasteful way. Arthur Keller’s second painting, illustrating “54-40 or Fight” has a completely different color theme, and gives off more of a mysterious, dark feel to it. The painting is detailed, but in a more simple way, and there is less negative space. As to where Keller’s “Her Letter” painting had a lot of open areas on the canvas, this painting, displays two people in a small enclosed dark room. The focal point is more dramatic, and a lot more obvious because instead of using sizing,...
The artist uses very dark colors and dim lights. The artist then uses extremely bright colors to enhance your attention on a point. All of the shapes in this image look symmetrical and flow together besides the rainbow in the center. You see a pattern in the background of the buildings but then this pattern is interrupted by the colorful rainbow. In this image there is no motion in the background and the stream of water looks still, but then you notice the artist has created motion in the rainbow.
Anything from a police man leaning on a wall that gets lost in the crowd on busy days to a cleaning lady next to a garbage can. Duane creates life like art pieces that you can lose the fact that they are fake. The amount of detail along with the expressions on the figures’ faces tells the tale. The spectator creates a relationship to the piece because its the familiar look or feeling they receive from the experience. Duane uses the figures’ as they are portrayed to accomplish an everyday ordinary person moreover with that technique displays the ability to relate the viewers to the art
The subject of this artwork is a shipwreck. I see it looks like a storm in the ocean and there’s a ship but the ships mass and sails appear to be damaged. The crew is lowering lifeboats, suggesting that they have to abandon ship. A rescue boat is coming in on the right side of the painting and another boat and ship are coming in on the left side of the painting to help the crew from the distressed ship. There also appears to be a lighthouse at a distance. The action being conveyed is the waves crashing into the ship. The darkness in the waves and the colors he used made them seem like there real ocean waves. The art piece does seem to be telling ...
The dominant line in this piece of art would have to be a straight line. To be precise, the vertical straight line is a vivid piece to this art. Within the art, you can also see shapes such as squares and rectangles. These four sided shapes are found in many different aspects of the artwork. For example, the buildings in the background are rectangles, and the border is full of rectangles and squares. The form of this art is clearly 2D, considering it is on canvas. Although, Ringgold did an amazing job at portraying a sense of 3D degression. The texture of this art is considered to be rough and clothlike. This is due to the fact that “Ringgold’s vehicle is the story quilt” within this work of art. (Spector, Nancy.) The space of this art could be described as busy. There is something new in each square of the quilt. There is also a large value change if you compare the inner middle of the artwork to the surrounding edges of it. The core of this piece of art is dark while the outside is light. The type of balance would be considered asymmetrical. There is also not a distinct pattern in this piece. Another detail to this artwork is that everything is in proportion. The only rhythm and movement found is the young girl in the sky looks as if she is flying. A strong contrast found is, again, the bright floral border compared to the dark picture inside. The pieces of this piece are bold and do not work together because they highly
Toni Morrison's Beloved makes one ponder the essence of life and death. It is a novel that can challenge the brain, and change an opinion about the supernatural. One of the biggest symbols throughout the novel would be colors. Colors such as pink, red, and orange are mentioned on numerous occasions throughout the novel.
Looking at landscape art, especially when painted by one of the masters, many have undoubtedly pondered: what would it be like to live there? Shapes and attention to detail are, of course, important in a painting. However, it is color that draws the eye and inspires the heart. Oscar Wilde, an Irish poet and dramatist, spoke well of this when he noted that, “Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways. (qtd in “color”)”. Vincent Ward had a similar understanding of this impact when, in 1998, he directed the movie What Dreams May Come. Looking at this film, one can easily imagine being inside a living painting. The use of color to emphasize the emotional state of a character or event is common in films; nevertheless, Director Ward goes even farther in using color to represent the actual characters themselves. Red is the shade chosen to signify Annie and likewise, blue is used for Chris. Both of these, as will be shown, are accurate in defining these fictitious people. However, it is the profound use of purple in this film that is the true focal point. When mixing red and blue paint, one would find that, after being mixed, they cannot be separated. Likewise, this is true of the life and love these characters build and share. Purple represents the many ways in which Chris and Annie are melded, and joined.
Lynn Peril further mentions about the period of prosperous development of pink think during the 1940s to 1960s. In those years, pink think was considered as the obvious...
Hernan Bas’ piece titled Pink Prose, which is currently displayed at the SCAD Museum of Art, consists of an acrylic painting finished in 2016 with six panel folding screen, on linen mounted in a birch-wood frame with fabric backing. 72 inches tall by 108 inches long and with 2.5 inches of depth. Consists of several pink flamingos standing in the center of the middle ground of the picture plane as they gather around a lake placed in the foreground, surrounded by grass and bushes which are located on the background of the picture plane. Bas created this painting by using a mix of cool colors and warm colors. Bas can capture attention and maintain it due to the excellent use of color, symmetry and asymmetry and the use of perspective creating
Chihuly explains his vision as wanting “people to be overwhelmed with light and color in a way they have never experienced.” I believe that he has truly embodied this vision, especially in his Macchia and Seaform pieces. Chihuly use of color is extraordinary with their hot pinks, bright blues, and high-lighter yellow makes the art come alive, making you feel like his pieces should be laid out in a fun house, or clown carnival. In addition, the way Chihuly blows the glass in the different loops, swirls and curves makes you forget that the pieces are made from glass and not clay, or another type of material that is easily molded. That is what is so spectacular about Chihuly’s work. His talent brings his viewers pure
The Wave is a story about a high school senior class that has been intrigued to join their teacher’s cult known as the Wave. Several people tried to prevent the denial of his movement. Laurie Saunders the main character in the wave, is a rebellious girl who is very ashamed of this movement and is not inspired by her history teacher. He shows them a very emotional video of what Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party did. Some of the students take it more personal than others do. Because of Laurie’s bravery, independence, and determination, Laurie denies the Wave.
John Sloan’s painting depicts a dismal view of municipal life. The painting’s gloominess is achieved most effectively through Sloan’s use of color. He uses deep shades of purple with the contrasting color green in the background. This color scheme provides an eerie fog throughout the painting.
The massive red cow, reposing in either a valley or gully surrounded by mountains in the center of the canvas, isn't the only animal present: there appears to be a smaller white cow suckling from the red cow, as well as a grazing black bull in the lower left-hand corner, and a light-brown cow dozing in the lower-right hand corner. The cool greens, blues, and grays that compose the mountains and forest surrounding each of the subjects offers a striking contrast against the brilliant crimson of the titanic cow; the combination of starkly contrasting, saturated color, with the use of coarse brushstrokes, emulates the technique used by early Impressionist painters. However, though Marc's capricious use of vibrant pigments was obviously influenced by the Impressionist movement, when combined with his recently established color-theory and his affinity for incorporating abstract elements, the emotions that radiate from his work go beyond simple Impressionism and enter the realm of
The use of oil paints to create this image allows Monet to use a blend of purples, blues, and greens with yellows and pinks. The mixing of these colors creates the contrast between light portions and dark portion...
