Divine Inspiration, Akiane Kramarik Initially the writer of this essay was very excited at the prospect of researching the binary prodigy, Akiane Kramarik. Unfortunately, this author became quite skeptical while reading Akiane, Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry written by Akiane’s mother, Foreli Kramarik. Alas, the book includes obvious exaggerations when recounting the family’s financial and past living conditions. However, after reading Akiane’s explanation of the allegories contained within her paintings this writer’s excitement returned, for Akiane describes her paintings with a touching sincerity, absence of guile, and an unreserved faith. Following is a brief view into the life and art of Akiane Kramarik. Beginning with Akiane’s birth,
Perception is a continuous theme as she requests readers to be privy to and does not forget differing factors of view. She also recognizes with others, pays attention and understanding their concerns. She observes fact as the method to revitalize and awaken human beings wrecked by means of some losses and burdens. She generates poems honoring humanity and nature to intensify readers’ appreciation of their international network and how their moves or indifference impacts distant humans and environments. Her poem, “One Boy Told Me,” demonstrate her fictional characteristics of openness, kindness, and concern, which call on readers to trust and recognize her
Modris Eksteins presented a tour-de-force interpretation of the political, social and cultural climate of the early twentieth century. His sources were not merely the more traditional sources of the historian: political, military and economic accounts; rather, he drew from the rich, heady brew of art, music, dance, literature and philosophy as well. Eksteins examined ways in which life influenced, imitated, and even became art. Eksteins argues that life and art, as well as death, became so intermeshed as to be indistinguishable from one another.
Henry Tanner and Alice Barney were both exceeding talented artists. Great artistic ability can be seen in both “The face of a Jew in Palestine and “the face of a Negro Boy’. While their painting techniques are similar, the two artists have their differences. In comparing these two works of art, I have learned that each artist possesses their own unique way of expressing their talent, even if it is art work of the same medium and style.
I chose to analyze the The Family, 1941 portray and The Family, 1975 portray, both from Romare Bearden, for this essay because they are very similar paintings but at the same time very different. To write a critical analyzes it was necessary to choose two different paintings that had similar characteristics. The text about critical comparison said that to compare things they have to be similar, yet different, and that’s what these paintings look to me. As I had already written an analysis of The Family, 1941 portray I chose to analyze and compare The Family, 1975 this time. Both works have a lot of color in it and through the people’s faces in the pictures we can feel the different emotions that the paintings are conveying.
The Niitsitapi (also called Blackfoot Indians), reside in the Great Plains of Montana as well as Alberta and Saskatchewan located in Canada. Only one of the Niitsitapi tribes are named Siksika, also known as Blackfoot.
As the German painter and sculptor, Kathe Kollwitz conveyed in her statement that the art she created held the burden of transfiguration. The fixation of sorrow and hardship that occurred while she sat huddled with the children was the driving force of her drawings. Her realization that art could not only be an escape from the horror happenings in Germany such as the rationing of food and the starving-to-death children at that time was also a way to voice her opinion of change and revolution. It was the quest, in which she enamored in her drawings and it is this feeling that I value from it. I choose this artist because she delineated the various circumstances surrounding the human individual, she took into account perspectives that involved life with its tragedies, and the lives of little angel children. Her drawings and sculptures were prepared to emulate and capture what her eyes had seen while she was in Germany and this is why I had taken a likening to her drawings. The two artworks that I am specifying in this research paper is the drawing labeled “Germany's children starve!” and”Self-Portrait, Hand at the Forehead (Selbstbildnis mit der Hand an der Stirn)”.
Images help us make sense of our world and provide different perspectives on how we might view it. These variety of perspectives is certainly evident through the distinctive images that have been created in the play “Shoe Horn Sonata” by John Misto and the poem “The Hero” by Siegfried Sassoon. In “Shoe Horn Sonata” Misto uses unique/ distinctive images to commemorate the experiences of others and to show the audience the injustice,cruelty of the Japanese and the resilience and resourcefulness of the women Bridie and Sheila. Similarly in the poem “The Hero” Sassoon uses images effectively to help the audience recognise the fallen veteran “Jack” and to show the brutality and pointlessness of war.
As the young boy grew, he began to have a love for art and wanted to become an artist, but his father, however, did not have a care of his son’s dreams, but instead wanted him to grow up, following in his footsteps; in which Adolf rebelled against.
Kauikeaouli was hesitant to establish the Christian ten commandments because he was unsure whether his people wanted Christian Laws.
When first approaching this work, one feels immediately attracted to its sense of wonder and awe. The bright colors used in the sun draws a viewer in, but the astonishment, fascination, and emotion depicted in the expression on the young woman keeps them intrigued in the painting. It reaches out to those who have worked hard in their life and who look forward to a better future. Even a small event such as a song of a lark gives them hope that there will be a better tomorrow, a thought that can be seen though the countenance by this girl. Although just a collection of oils on a canvas, she is someone who reaches out to people and inspires them to appreciate the small things that, even if only for a short moment, can make the road ahead seem brighter.
The chapter presents the idea of a symbol being open to a diverse range of meanings and interpretations. In the novel, a 133-carat diamond the size of a pigeon’s egg known as the “Sea of Flames” provides a flow to the story by carrying a multitude of meanings.
Crowther’s main point is that, if visual art is to be understood in ways going beyond the spectatorial viewpoint alone, art must be examined within both the analytic and phenomenological traditions of philosophy (page). He offers critical discussions of Wollheim, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Lacan and Dufrenne to demonstrate this. (Curiously, he omits from his analysis Ingarden’s work, Bachelard’s poetics of space and Nietzsche, whose philosophy could have helped him to develop a connection between picturing and eternal recurrence more effectively.)
The poet in her writing used the language tools of symbolism, images, metaphor and nature to illustrate her poetic ideas. The writer, used the word ‘’Hunters’’ in the first line which indicates an imagery of man in existence, example
Yayoi Kusama is an artist who does many sorts of work, but all of them are similar in one way. They’re all full of repetitive patterns. Recently she was named by TIME magazine as one of the top 100 most influential people. Her art is extremely distinct, but that’s not all there is to her. She has a very strong view on world peace and promotes people to be gentle and caring to each other. All of these beliefs are extremely influenced by her childhood.
Art is not confined only to paintings or drawings. It can also be dancing, writing and music. Since, the range of art is very large, it brings up the question if anyone can be an artist. There are no restrictions on who can be an arti...
