  • The Museum Effect Analysis

    849 Words  | 2 Pages

    Svetlana Alpers’ article begins with a personal anecdote about visiting the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge as a child. While there, she saw an extremely large crab preserved and set on display without context; the crab was “an object of interest” rather than a creature that had once lived. Alpers states that this is relevant because the display of that crab is typical of European museums in that they only display things that can be considered visually interesting and only items that look interesting, whether manmade or natural, make it into their exhibitions. This practice heavily influenced art historical canon because these interesting items were the ones that went on to inspire artists viewing those exhibitions in their own time

  • Visual Analysis Philedelphia Museum

    814 Words  | 2 Pages

    After photo-shopping, formatting, and uploading our assignments, our class filters into the darkroom to critique the art that we made. In the Philedelphia Museum of Art, I found myself doing exactly what I do in the Rutgers Prep darkroom, to exhibits from hundreds of years ago. I realized that I might have started to analyze the world through the lens of a photographer. To clarify, this doesn’t mean that I got the chance to analyze many photographs- the exhibits emphasized statues and paintings much more than actual photography. What I mean is that when I saw an exhibit, I didn’t just see a statue; I saw potential for a great shot. I saw symmetry. I saw conceptual linkage. I saw negative space. I saw life the way a photographer does.

  • Zimmerli Art Museum Analysis

    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.

    I enjoyed going to the Springville Museum of Art more than I thought I would. The only time I usually go to art museums is when I go out of the country and I’ve never been one to look at a painting for more than a few seconds. However, I thought the art museum had a friendly atmosphere and that the building itself was amazing both on the outside and inside. Also, if you choose to you can choose to do a guided tour but must schedule at least two weeks in advance.

  • The Secret Museum Analysis

    520 Words  | 2 Pages

    As stated by Walter Kendrick in The Secret Museum, the origin of the word pornography goes back to Ancient Greece. The word pornographoi, meaning “whore-painters” was initially borrowed by German art historian C. O Mueller to describe the multitudes of erotic artworks unearthed in the excavation of Pompeii. Mueller coined the term pornographen (pornographers) to describe the creators of said works, and from there the art was classed as “pornography” (Kendrick, 11). In 1864, Webster’s Dictionary made these works the very definition of pornography, describing the word as “licentious painting employed to decorate the walls of rooms sacred to Bacchanalian orgies, examples of which exist in Pompeii” (Kendrick’s, 13). This was one of many attempts to define the word, and to classify the “obscene” works of art that has so suddenly fallen into the laps of art historians.

  • Cultural Museum Evaluation

    I decided to visit the D.I.A. for my first cultural museum evaluation. I chose to visit the D.I.A. because the last time I attended was back in high school which was about six years ago, and before then was when I was in the eighth grade. I vaguely remembered those times I did visit the institute and due to a lack of maturity I knew that I would cherish the experience much more this time around. I was always aware that the museum existed in Detroit, but I do feel as if I take the museum for granted like many others by not visiting it as often as I should as a resident of Detroit, and as an emerging college student who needs to develop an cultural awareness of the arts. I decided to visit the institute with my dear friend Tera

    The museum I attended was The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the exhibit Assyria to Iberia at the Dawn of the Classical Age was being shown. The space the the exhibition was located in was their special exhibition room, It was one larger room divided up by walls to create a maze like feel to the exhibition. There were many artifacts within the exhibition, almost too many to look at. It was a little overwhelming. There were a large array of artifacts from small pieces of pottery that were found to larger sculptures, for example the Statue of Scorpion Birdman. The walls were painted a darker blue color and the exhibition area was dimly lit, while the artifacts were in glass display cases that were well lit. There were a plethora of visual

    I'm walking through the museum, quiet as usual with her by my side. Isabelle has a tight grip on my hand and i know that it’s a warning, i'm not allowed to mess up or i’ll regret it deeply later when we’re alone. It may seem pathetic but I don’t have a very healthy relationship with her and i’m the one who has the worse side of the stick. I'm constantly being verbally and physically put down and once we aren't alone she puts on a “Perfect wife” act, like none of it happens. It’s not like it matter anyways, i deserve to be treated this way. My train of thought is interrupted by a loud sound coming from one of the rooms nearby in the museum, it resembles broken glass. People began rushing out of the room where the
