artist's dedication to use this technique is truly inspiring and somewhat unbelievable. Nevertheless, this piece of art has inspired me to attain perseverance and work to achieve my goals.

Monet’s haystacks were constantly yet subtly changing with the passing hours of the day and with the changes of the seasons.

laborious work employed in its production, Seurat’s choice of dots to make up a whole against the use of generous brush strokes was the beginning of a breakaway from the traditional method by which art was produced and perceived. The visual impact of distance for image cognizance meant that observers and art enthusiasts had to spend time journeying through

Poems about “Nighthawks” "Nighthawks" (1942), a famous painting from Edward Hopper, has been the subject of many poems. Most of the poems attempt to tell the story of the four people painted in the scene. The scene portrays a diner during the night or early morning before the sun comes up, and it is viewed outside on a dark street as someone is looking in. There is nothing threatening about this scene and it suggests there is no danger around the corner; it gives the people in this painting a
Gallery 19 of the Museum of Modern Art features Pop Art trailblazers of the early 1960s, ranging from Roy Lichtenstein’s “Girl with Ball” to Andy Warhol’s “Gold Marilyn Monroe.” Alongside these emblematic works of art, there hangs a more simplistic piece: a six foot square canvas with three yellow letters, entitled “OOF.” The work of art, created by Ed Ruscha in 1962, is a painting that leaves little room for subjective interpretation as does the majority of his work.
