Identify: Many people that appreciate art will visit big art museums like the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Personally, I think small town artist have more to them. In the northeastern tip of Georgia there is a small town called Rabun County. I visited the Crawford Art Gallery in Clayton, Georgia. This gallery is a small two story building full of Broderick Crawford’s artwork. His work is shown downstairs while his art studio resides upstairs. Crawford has always been a resident of these North Georgia Mountains. owns his own gallery filled with his art work. My favorite was the California Quail painted in 2015. This is a 13x18 inch painting by Broderick Crawford. He used acrylic paint to construct his work. Skilled artist. Observers …show more content…
The moss is a bright yellow-green color with a fuzzy texture. On the right side of the painting there are blueberries with random green and orange leaves throughout the fruit. Standing on the tree branch are two California quails. In the background it may be a blurred vision of some trees. The two plump birds have grey chests that become a brown color with white spots on their stomachs. The smaller bird on the left is a female with a tannish brown face. While the bigger bird on the right is a male. The male has a black face outlined in a bold white color. He also has reddish-orange hair on top of his head. Furthermore, both of the quails have a curved feather coming out of their foreheads. Observers can tell the bird on the right is a male because his feather is much longer than those of females. In addition, there is a transformation between the bold white spots on the stomachs that become bold white lines on the wings. The two quails creates contrast in the painting because they are so precise compared to everything else that is more hazy. In sum, the birds are so vivid they basically jump out of the
The texture of the paint is smooth and flows very nicely the paintings composition is primarily bundled into the bottom right half of the image. The wings and legs of the animals as well as and table help form an invisible sloping line across the painting.
On April 14, 2017 my mom and I visited the Montclair Art Museum. Upon entering, I observed the beautiful neoclassical architecture and roman cathedral like columns outside of the museum. Located on Bloomfield Ave, just miles from New York City, the Montclair Art Museum holds some of the best American and Native American art works. The different galleries and collections along with the breathtaking sculptures, paintings, and carvings added to my positive experience and I look forward to further exploring the world of art.
At the left-bottom corner of the painting, the viewer is presented with a rugged-orangish cliff and on top of it, two parallel dark green trees extending towards the sky. This section of the painting is mostly shadowed in darkness since the cliff is high, and the light is emanating from the background. A waterfall, seen originating from the far distant mountains, makes its way down into a patch of lime-green pasture, then fuses into a white lake, and finally becomes anew, a chaotic waterfall(rocks interfere its smooth passage), separating the latter cliff with a more distant cliff in the center. At the immediate bottom-center of the foreground appears a flat land which runs from the center and slowly ascends into a cliff as it travels to the right. Green bushes, rough orange rocks, and pine trees are scattered throughout this piece of land. Since this section of the painting is at a lower level as opposed to the left cliff, the light is more evidently being exposed around the edges of the land, rocks, and trees. Although the atmosphere of the landscape is a chilly one, highlights of a warm light make this scene seem to take place around the time of spring.
The artwork starts outside the barn. The left bottom of the painting holds a brown and white pig walking towards the barn in front of the resting dog lying just inside the barn’s open double doors. The pig’s ears are brown while its engorged nipples suggest it had piglets. As the pig strolls in front of the barn it encounters the remains of animal bones while patches of green grass and dirt highlight the way to the barn. On the opposite side of the pig, stands a reddish brown horse. The horse 's mane and tail are black. Its hind legs are white. The tip of the horse’s nose is white. The horse wears a saddle, bridle, halter, bit and reins. Its left hind leg rises as if ready to bolt. In the bottom right hand corner below the horse reads, “G.H. Durrie 1853.” While the area in front of the barn appears sparse, it is the barn and what occurs inside that is where the action
The painting’s canvas has been exploited perfectly. All the space on the canvas had been used. However, space was not used to create depth, and there was no layering or recession present. The painting does not feel that it has motion, apart from what it looks like the creatures eating from the tree of life. The eating motion was depicted by the posture of the creatures, with arms extending towards the plants – in the case of creatures – or beaks being wide open – in the case of birds. All these factors 'accord' the painting with a unique
LA County Museum of Art (LACMA) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or LACMA as it is commonly known, is among the world’s largest art collections in North America, and to be specific enough the most prevalent artwork in the western United States (Compton 165). This massive art museum has a collection of over 100,000 artworks, which extends from the ancient times to present days (Gilbert and Mills 174). These collections, which are mainly from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin-America and America itself, are grouped into several departments within the museums buildings, depending on the region, culture, media, and time period. This paper analyzes the different genres of art and explains the main features that make the Islamic artworks distinguish themselves as historic masterpieces, by using stylistic and interpretive analysis methods.
The texture of the canvas works very well with the subject matter portrayed in the painting. The grassy hill side and the leaves of the trees are especially complimented by the canvas. It makes the leaves feel like they are slightly moving, this combined with the lack of detail itself the leaves. This is contrasted nicely with the very detailed renderings of the trunks and branches of the trees, the conscious decision to put so much effort into the tree itself and then to use obvious brushwork in the leaves makes the trees much more firm and immovable in the landscape. The brushstrokes are very clean and precise on the trees in the background.
The Columbus Museum of Art is a place rich in local history. A place where items of historical and artistic value are stored for safekeeping and allow access for public viewing. The museum has several locally named galleries. It also has a cute children’s area, complete with artwork from little local artists from several schools in the area. The children’s area has several pieces of art that children may touch, like Chicken George. I remember touching that chicken when I would visit as a child. The area also has a mini art studio to cater to the little creative minds that pass through.
The purpose of paintings is to capture the image of something. Paintings have been around since prehistoric times and span all cultures. Paintings are seen as one image but can convey thousands of different meanings. Before photography, paintings were used to record important events. The Blanton Museum of Art is home to many different types of paintings. The paintings range from different landscapes in America to cowboys to Native Americans. There are five paintings in the Blanton Museum of Art that can convey an image and culture of the American Old West with vivid and detailed images of cowboys, Native Americans, and the landscape represented, which is an important aspect of American culture and the frontier spirit.
The print of art is a Hiroshige, Plum Garden at Kameido, 1857, woodblock print. The print shows a calm and peaceful color of a regular day. The background consists of wash colors like reddish-pink that fades into white, and transfers once more in a green hue of the greenish ground. The image is showing a view of a several plum trees, with the stems, the flower, and the people on the other side of the fence. This work has a light pink background symbolizing the sunset and warm colors of the spring. The middle ground in the light white color shows the piece where there are people on the other side of the fence and appears to be walking around the garden or going throughout their daily business. The middle ground also has a view of several plum trees, which all of them seem to be inside of the fence. The focal point of the piece is the main plum tree with its branches swinging from the left at a sharp angle and moving to the right.
From the piece of artwork “Rain at the Auvers”. I can see roofs of houses that are tucked into a valley, trees hiding the town, black birds, clouds upon the horizon, hills, vegetation, a dark stormy sky and rain.
Charles Percy Austin used fine detail and a mesh of color in order to bring out the beauty in the girl. The strokes he used are precise and even throughout the painting. Charles Percy Austin settled in the golden state of California. He was an artist that had a fine soft brush stroke throughout his canvases. He has done many paintings such as “Mary Pickford’s wedding on the mission’s grounds (1924), La Buena Ventura 91927), and a padre feeding a parrot in the courtyard (1924).” His works earned him a medal from the Panama-California International Exposition. Charles Percy Austin is best known for his splendid and expensive-looking paintings. I experienced this first hand when I entered the museum because his painting stood out from the rest.
This is a photo of Martin Johnson Heade's Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds, 1871, oil on wood painting. I think it's a very beautiful, eye-catching piece. The first thing that caught my attention are the colors. It's splash of bright colors really balances out its lower value background really drawing your focus to the center of the painting. From there can notice how detailed it is beyond the focal point. There is so many textures to observe and even some movement in one of the hummingbirds who looks like is about to take flight or maybe just landed. I think the artists' use of the elements and principles of art worked very well and brought a very beautiful painting to life.
To my belief keeping the long view by Blight meant to keep in mind the struggle of the UGRR movement and people involved and never fall back in the shackles of racism. Learning and studying UGRR should mean keep in mind always the ethical and moral values and treat each other with equality and respect regardless of religion, race or color. The real lesson Blight wants us to understand by keeping long view is to be tolerant, open minded and ethical all thorough our lives.
...f the shadows is sprinkled with the orange of the ground, and the blue-violet of the mountains is both mixed with and adjacent to the yellow of the sky. The brushstrokes that carry this out are inspired by the Impressionists, but are more abundant and blunter than those an Impressionist would use.
