While visiting family in Boston for the weekend, I returned to the Museum of Fine Arts. I came upon another of John Singer Sargent’s works, Daughters of Edward Darley Boit. The composition of the painting intrigued me; and so I have chosen to write about the piece. This painting of four girls in an elegant room and doorway of what I presume to be their home, is a very posed, stagnant depiction. Three of the girls appear to be staring blankly at the painter, while one stands facing to the side, staring
Museum Trip When this project was brought to my attention at the beginning of the semester I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know much about the history of art or any of the specific terms that are used in the art world. I have been to museums in the past but that was when I was in elementary school and they didn't teach us any of the specific terms that they used in the art world. On the handout that you gave the class you wrote questions that you though would be helpful for us to answer
MYSTICISM, MYTHOLOGY AND MAGIC IN THE ART WORLD In spite of religion being the ruling subject matter of art for many centuries, magic and mysticism have long been interwoven in a dark curtain that hangs over a large segment of the art world.

Monet’s love for Camille. So, Alice required Monet to destroy any reminder of Camille including photographs, letters and mementos. She has once existed in some of the painting such as Claude Monet, Breakfast under the Tent, Giverny 1888 and John Singer Sargent, Mme Hoschedé and Her Son in Monet's Garden, Giverny.

more similarities making the painting accurately expressing the character of Lady Macbeth. The painting, Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth, was first created in 1889 by a man named John Singer Sargent. Sargent came up with the idea right after he saw Macbeth on the opening night in 1888. At the first performance of the play, Sargent was stunned by Ellen Terry’s presence that he wanted to do a piece of art. First, he had to influence her and so he did; she posed for a portrait. The painting was created on
my entire being and will forever pave the road I walk on. Walking into my house, it's difficult to miss the abundance of oil paintings lining the walls and the autobiographies of art masters cluttering the tables. The name of my family’s wifi is "Sargent" and our curtains and rugs are inspired by the rich Venetian colors used by Titian and Bellini.

“Our senses can be trusted, but they can be easily fooled”(Aristotle 1) What is an optical illusion? For most of us, the term brings to mind images of a unique arrangement of vibrant contrasting colors, and geometric shapes that deceive the eye, and violates our expectations in a myriad of ways “about representation, about shape, about color, and so forth”(Sekel). Figure 1 is one common example of this definition. In this image the circles appear to be expanding when in fact
