This collection included creations from the Egyptian, Greek and Roman cultures in which I had learned how culture had effect on artwork. I also encountered one of my favorite paintings, Oedipus at Colonus by Giroust. In this painting, a man with a bared chest and a scarlet cloth flowing from his waist, sat on a bench in front of a Roman building. His hand stretched out to his right and his palm imitated “stop”. A blonde woman in a blue dress knelt on the man’s left side, begging with her hands perched up on his knees. The man’s palm faced a young soldier in his red and gold Roman uniform. The soldier seemed upset but the man resented from looking at him for the man’s head turned to the left away from the soldier.

When I arrived, there was no one else there besides me and the librarian. To be honest, I probably would have never gone to an art museum if my teacher didn’t require me to. This was my first time attending the Wittliff Collection, thus I asked the librarian, “Is there any other artwork besides Southwestern and Mexican photography?” She answered, “No, the Wittliff is known only for Southwestern and Mexican photography.” I smiled with a sense of embarrassment and continued to view the different photos.

875 wordsRead More - Art Analysisargumentative essayThough most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.
