When entering through the doors into the exhibit there is a very calm atmosphere and immediately I noticed how colorful some paintings were. The fact that the wall colors were of different colors such as Grey and white gave the room an interesting contrast and made the artworks stand our more. From my first observations I noticed that there were colorful and lots of nature themed paintings. Which made me conclude that the main theme of the exhibition was nature and society. Many of the paintings varied in size and one artist that particular stood out with the largest and most colorful paintings was Eve Drewelove. The biggest section seemed to belong to Drewelove possibly due to her paintings being bigger then most other ones. The majority of her paintings were painted by oil and her use of bright colors …show more content…

Their way of coping with a political as well as social issues can be seen through their expressive pieces of art. Particularly Eve Drewlove seemed to have an expressive way of transferring her feelings onto the canvas. Ann Jones also had a very interesting way of conveying the struggles women faced onto paper. She used women and lots of text to provide obvious and clear messages about daily struggles of being a housewife, oppressed by society, chores and trying to be a part of the American lifestyle. Art is a very useful and insightful way for historians to connect with the world in which the artists lived in. Every single artist has his or her own way of expression however most artists and particularly in this exhibition there were a lot of personal connections and feelings that were expressed. Art is a deep and conceptual way for historians to be able to understand more about people and their feelings during those particular times. It is a personal piece of evidence that can provide lots of information to

    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

    The advantages that these pieces of art have are that they easily communicate to their audience. The ideas come across easy to understand by people who were both literate and nonliterate at the time. They concentrate on representing simple ideas to their audience and distinctly show political perspective. However, on the flip side, they tend to only show one side of an opinion, not both. This doesn’t allow for a person to see both sides and limits them to one opinion. They also only show a vague story and don’t deeply go into the underlying factors of the Revolution.

As I have stated earlier in this essay, with a collection consisting of over 12,000 paintings and representing more than 2,000 artists, the Whitney can fully present the most complete overview of twentieth century American art. With this wide range of modern American art, the visitor is offered a chance to experience fully the direction art has taken in America for the past one hundred years while also representing contemporary artists.

From the first half of the century, such seminal figures as Edward Hopper (Figure 3), which the Whitney has acquired his entire estate.

  • Women’s Self-Discovery During Late American Romanticism / Early Realism

    These women writers were writing in the day where women were taught to maintain their place in society and family. After the Civil War “the homosocial world of women’s culture began to dissolve as women demanded entrance to higher education, the professions, and the political world” (Showalter 67). The roles of housewife and society maiden that were created by society did not allow for any room of expression by these women. The lack of women who at this time were seeking a higher education or pursuing the arts was very small. If they did not come from a family who supported them in their quest than most likely they did not get the chance to pursue their dreams. If a woman did want to extend their learning most of the time they did it in secrecy. A woman artist...

  • Feminism In Judy Chicago's Dinner Party

    1494 Words  | 3 Pages

    Judy Chicago comments in her essay that she “had been made to feel ashamed of her own aesthetic impulses as a woman, pushed to make art that looked as if it had been made by a man.” The idea that female artists were not permitted to draw from their personal experiences completely undermines the basis of what art is. Art provides context of culture: it adds meaning and relevance to the time that it was created, and the artists’ personal experiences is what drives the artwork, and society, forward. Chicago’s blatant truths about women and their art in the early 70’s describes the struggles of walking between the worlds of femininity and the regular world talked about by Woolf. It’s impossible to deny the importance of femininity. If one is not

    Upon entering the de Young, it’s a very large and gaping minimalistic hallway. White walls, ashen colored flooring, and very open spacing definitely set me up for the search for some fantastic modern art. I first enter the 20th Century and Contemporary Art exhibit, hoping to find some pieces that intrigue me in one of my more favored artistic genres. There’s two pieces that solidly catch my interest-- Colours by Ken Price and Backstage Curtain by Lia Cook-- that I figured I would use for this, but I explored on in the museum anyway. I go upstairs to the Art in America to the 20th Century exhibit, not expecting to find anything visually stimulating

    The first art that interested me was the art of Indonesia which in this exhibit depicted the culture, history and art of Indonesian people. For instance, Bali a small island in the Indonesia valued most of its art based on the rich resources they occupied such as most art was composed of gold, diamond and sapphires which people of Bali believed that it will resemble their higher standards in the society. Art of Bali amazed me the most when it came to their “King’s crown” and “Queen’s crown” which was completely “fashioned in pure gold with diamonds, rubies, and sapphires” (Bali). The king’s crown was much simpler compare to queen’s crown which contained many varied of gold decorative that looked like gold flowers, and all of its designs such as rubies or sapphires were perfectly horizontally lined to each other that sort of depicted as a shiny necklace. The Bali’s art that I observed was very interesting know about the society they lived in those centuries with representation of their upscale society (Bali).

Most of the artists back then weren’t as big as they are now. They differed in so many ways trying to be individuals. In this, the works would all be outlining subjects but they differed a great deal. Artists in the Victorian era were expressing themselves with extravagant portraits of daily life in ways of romanticism, realism, impressionism, and post-impressionism.
