Philippe Auguste Paul Cezanne Art
1,052 wordsAfter fifty years of the most radical change in art from images to free abstraction, Czanne's painting, which looks old-fashioned today in its attachment to nature, maintains itself fresh and stimulating to young painters of our time. He has produced no school, but he has given an impulse directly or indirectly to almost every new movement since he died. His power to excite artists of different tendency and temperament is due, I think, to the fact that he realized with equal fullness so many dif...

Scope Of Leonardo Da Vinci Work Beyond Art
1,100 words... of Christ; which thing excites no less marvel than the sight, in contrast to it, of obstinacy, hatred, and treachery in Judas; not to mention that every least part of the work displays an incredible diligence, seeing that even in the tablecloth the texture of the stuff is counterfeited in such a manner that linen itself could not seem more real. It is said that the Prior of that place kept pressing Leonardo, in a most importunate manner, to finish the work; for it seemed strange to him to se...

Girls just wanna have fun... yeah yeah, but have you ever once stopped to think about it? It seems to me that it must be changed to something more general.

16 Th Century National Gallery
701 wordsTitian (1477? - 1576), was perhaps the greatest 16 th-century Venetian painter and the shaper of the Venetian colorist and painterly tradition. He is one of the key figures in the history of Western art.

In Venice, he studied with Gentile Bellini and then with Giovanni Bellini, but only the latter left a lasting ...

Late Nineteenth Century Edgar Degas
718 wordsThe impressionist age was a time of artistic rebellion to the common standards of art in late nineteenth century France. Rather than painting in the traditionalist fashion, focusing on exotic subject matter, powerful figureheads and historic scenes, impressionists painted everyday life as it was. The impressionists were known for using bright, unmixed colors to illustrate luminosity through texture. They opted for less detail in order to create an overall effect. "The impressionists allowed thei...

Museum Of Modern Art Abstract Expressionism
1,759 wordsThinking outside the Box Clay, in its wet, malleable state, is fast moving, responding instantly to the touch. It demands spontaneity, speed and the instinct for improvisation. Cheap and abundant, it leaves the artist free to take risks, to waste his material, even to destroy his work with the exhilaration of a kid popping balloons. Over the years, Peter Voulkos has taken this humble material long associated with utility and craft and created a new kind of art. Harnessing destruction as a creati...

End Of The Story Poe Short
560 wordsthis is done through his use of setting and narrative style. In many of Poe's works, setting is used to paint a dark and gloomy picture in our minds. I think that this was done deliberately by Poe so that the reader can make a connection between darkness and death. For example, in the Pit and the Pendulum, the setting is originally pitch black. As the story unfolds, we see how the setting begins to play an important role in how the narrator discovers the many ways he may die. Although he must re...

Manet used much realism in his paintings; realism, in art and literature, an attempt to describe human behavior and surroundings or to represent figures and ...
