For the Museume review, I've decided to review two pieces of art from the Russian arts exhibit at the Zimmerli Art Museum. The first piece I decided to look at and review is Lianozovo by Oskar Rabin (1962). While walking through the exhibit, this piece interested me so I thought this is the one I want to start off with. The texture of the painting pops out at me. The way this is painted gives off that this piece has a magnitude of shadow and dimension from distance, but up close, any person viewing this painting could see how everything blends into the surrounding colors. There is trail of money that is getting smaller which If an observer looks closer toward the building it gives a thought that the house is being viewed at from a distance. …show more content…
I cannot read or speak in Russian but from the scene of the painting, I can assume that the artist, Rabin, is trying to tell the people looking at this painting that this is a bar in Russia that many people have spent too much time drinking and spending money. Rabin also uses darker colors and added texture to each object as they get closer to the front focus. If you look at the back building it looks flatter than the building in the front which gives me a sense that that building isn't in focus which means it's not as important. The front building the money and the bottle are all that's in focus to me and thats why I think this painting has to do with a bar in Russia. Overall this painting stuck out for me and I got the message right away compared to other
Wayne, transforms this painting into a three dimensional abstract piece of art. The focal point of the painting are the figures that look like letters and numbers that are in the front of the piece of art. This is where your eyes expend more time, also sometimes forgiving the background. The way the artist is trying to present this piece is showing happiness, excitement, and dreams. Happiness because he transmits with the bright colours. After probably 15 minutes on front of the painting I can feel that the artist tries to show his happiness, but in serene calm. The excitement that he presents with the letters, numbers and figures is a signal that he feels anxious about what the future is going to bring. Also in the way that the colors in the background are present he is showing that no matter how dark our day can be always will be light to
On My visit to the Hunter Museum I chose the piece of art that I felt best related to. I picked the piece of art Pullman, by Hung Liu, because I loved the way they worked together to accomplish a mission. Pullman is a 2 dimensional wall piece created by Hung Liu in 2004, and was later purchased by the Hunter Museum in 2009. Pullman is A 66x132 inch oil on canvas, colored paining and is displayed on the wall in the museum. There is a wall text about the piece that can be found next to the painting. The painting is hard to define from close distance, but the farther you stand away the colors and textures come together. The paining is on a wall by itself, and is truly a breathtaking piece. We often take for granted the luxuries we have in the United States.
When most people hear the name “Ringling” they think of the Ringling brother, known for their world famous circus. Besides their world-renowned circus, one of the brothers, John Ringling, had a vast collection of art pieces in his Florida mansion. His collection grew so big; he decided to build a museum to display his collection of art. The Ringling museum is located in Sarasota, Florida. The Ringling museum is comprised of multiple buildings. The museum itself, which holds all the art and has a gardens filled with sculptures and elegant architecture. Next to the museum is the circus museum, filled of wonders from their circus; and finally, john Ringling 's lavish mansion. I will focus on two specific pieces from the fine art museum. The Ringling museum has a
Since the painting focuses on depth, the picture is read near to far, starting with the obvious painstaking details in the foreground, and ending with the massive background.
The painting has an order and there are different shapes and angles. Rectangular shape is main trend around this piece, including the wooden chest, the leg rest and the canvass. Also things overlap, creating the illusion of the shape look closer to viewer than the shape behind it. The example in this piece would be the chair on which Adelaide Labille Guiard sits be close to viewer than the girls behind it. This adds depth to the space. Also due to linear perspective girls behind the chair are smaller due to being farther away.
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
I chose this particular piece of art to critique because of the fact that I walk past it six times a week. The composition and its contents spoke to me, making me want to study it further. After all, North Bay is the city in which I grew up in and this painting contains some of North Bay’s history.
This museum was originally called McMaster University Art Gallery and began its formation shortly after McMaster University opened in Toronto in 1887 as an art collection from former presidents and faculty began to accumulate (Wikipedia, 2015). McMaster University Art Gallery was officially established in 1967. This museum opened on June 11th 1994 (McMaster Museum of Art, 2014). It contains roughly 6000 works showcasing the narration of art in a variety of media from prehistoric time to the present (McMaster Museum of Art, 2014). It is acknowledged worldwide for its high-quality collection of early 20th century German prints and exceptional European paintings, drawings, and prints including a contribution by Hamilton businessman Dr. Herman Herzog Levy O.B.E. of his own private album (McMaster Museum of Art, 2014). This museum also
The de Young Museum is a fine arts museum located in the bustling metropolitan cultural hub of San Francisco. Opened in 1895 as the Fine Arts Building, the museum was created to become the brief home for “an eclectic collection of exotic oddities and curiosities to the foremost museum in the western United States concentrating on American art, international textile arts and costumes, and art of the ancient Americas, Oceania and Africa,” becoming home to much more over the next century. Set in Golden Gate Park, the beauty of the de Young does not rest solely in the art it is home to; the experience of the de Young is influenced by everything from the ethereal gardens to the Observation Tower.
Friday, September 8th I attended the opening reception of the Brauer Art Museum. The opening primarily featured Frank Dudley’s paintings involving the Indiana Dunes, which happen to be located a mere twenty minutes away from the museum. Being that the subject of Dudley’s pieces happens to be so close to the university, it offered an extremely unique opportunity to observe fine art of a place that is easily accessible, and a place that most people are probably at least slightly familiar with.
On the first scan, the bright moon captures the most attention. It is the most vivid object on the painting, where all other objects are illuminated through its brilliance. From above, the moon illuminates what looks like a port, people going about their way on water and land. From afar, objects
I absolutely love this piece of art. The amount of color keeps the painting alive and interesting. Its abstractness draws me in and interests me to look at it to find what I may see. One challenging thing about this piece of work is that I am not exactly sure what is going on in
The main image depicted here is that of power and wealth. This is achieved by showing the people dressed stylishly, drinking out of elegant glasses and flying in a luxurious private jet. The ladies are wearing expensive jewelry, clothing and shoes like they are headed to a party. The man is in a tux which is the most formal a man can get. All of these images make the viewer think that the upper class people are the ones who drink Skyy Vodka. It will also, subconsciously, lead the viewer to think that if I drink Skyy Vodka I will be like the upper class
One of the aspects that has drawn my attention about this painting was the fight between the two men in the center. It was the only area in the painting that was brightest, since it seems like the two men are fighting in front of a sun, which suggests that they are the focal point in this painting. I also notice that the colors on the right side of the painting are much brighter than the left side of the painting, where the colors look much darker or toned down. However, I can still see a little bit of light peeping through the right side, which is actually coming from the fight between the two men. I also notice that the people in the painting are much larger than the two men in the center, and they’re strategically placed along the borders of the painting. Furthermore, each person in this painting has a very different body language and position. It actually looks as if they’re flying towards the outside of the painting because their faces are turned away from the fight, their bodies are drawn horizontally, and their arms and legs are almost at an upright position.
