Paper Abstract: Examines 2 paintings' lighting, subjects, colors, settings, techniques, messages in context of artist's professional & personal life. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this research is to examine two paintings by Paul Gaugin, A Swineherd, Brittany (1888), and Ia Orana Maria (1891). The plan of the research will be to set forth the background and context in which Gaugin created each painting, and then to compare and contrast analytically the content and apparent intent informing them, both intrinsically and as part of the larger scheme of Gaugin's body of work. Gaugin's A Swineherd, Brittany, an oil painting on canvas, hangs in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Measuring 29" x 36(", A Swineherd, Brittany is a horizontally oriented picture depicting a pastoral landscape that would have been familiar to Gaugin during his stay in Pont-Aven in Brittany. In the right foreground, a rocky pasture of grass along either a pond or a river, are the figures of a swineherd and two pigs. The swineherd stand Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines background, painting, theme, style, re-discovery & restoration of mural painted by Mexican artist in Los Angeles in 1930s. Paper Introduction: David Alfaro Siqueiros painted only three murals in the United States, one in a private home and two in public spaces in Los Angeles. The public murals were highly political--protesting American imperialism and labor practices and featuring strong socialist statements. They created storms of protest among city officials and the first was destroyed while the second, entitled America Tropical, was painted over. In the 1970s it was found that the second mural was, though damaged and faded, largely intact under layers of paint and by the 1980s various groups had become involved in restoration efforts. The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) assumed the work of restoring the mural and some of the burden of funding the project. The project has involved technicians from several institutions and has provided the opportunity for innovative approaches to restoration. This work Read the Entire Essay.

French artist/sculptor associated with Dadaism & Surrealism. Paper Introduction: Jean (Hans) Arp had a long and productive career in art during which he created numerous wood reliefs, collages and sculptures. Arp was associated with such movements as Dadaism, Surrealism, and Abstract-Creationism, and he experimented with elements of chance and automatism in his works. Arp's creations shocked the world when they were exhibited for the first time in 1916. However, it can be seen that Arp was presenting an important message regarding the relationship between art and life. In particular, by using chance elements, Arp tried to remove himself from his own art and to thereby allow his works to be closer to nature. This paper will explore this theme in Arp's work, and will relate it to the ideals of the various art movements that Arp was associated with. Jean Arp was born in 1887 in a part of France which was at Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Stream-of-consciousness essay that discusses various topics in art history. Topics include: The Kreeger collection, Impressionism, 19th century Paris, & Claude Monet. Paper Introduction: The Kreeger Museum features a collection that was a joint effort by Carmen and David Kreeger, a collection started in 1959 and continued over a period of 15 years. The collectors showed a preference for coloristic richness and texture. There are nine Monet paintings in the collection, presented in a show at the museum in Washington, D.C. after the museum opened its doors in 1994. Claude Monet was one of the most important of the artists who developed the Impressionist movement. Monet experimented with the effects of atmosphere and light, and what concerned him more and more were the techniques required to effect a direct transcription of visual sensation to the canvas. His works show a variety in subject matter and technique while also reflecting the deepest concerns of the artist in a consistent fashion: Neither his choices of subject nor his modes of seeing, Read the Entire Essay.

Venetian artist's career, religious works, themes, significance, cultural background. Paper Introduction: This paper is a history of the altarpieces of Renaissance Venice, typified by the most famous artist of the form, Giovanni Bellini. Bellini's altarpieces represent a very particular type of painting, unique to its time and place. They visually chart the evolution of Venetian society's movement from its Gothic and Byzantine roots into the full flowering of the Renaissance. This was a difficult transition for the republic; Bellini's work exhibits the pride and grace with which his fellow citizens ultimately came to embrace the new order. Peter Humfrey describes Giovanni Bellini as "a master whose long career, extending from about 1460 until his death in 1516, dominates Venetian painting for most of the period." Bellini's work, more than that of any other painter of his age, reflects the pressures and influences working on the Venetian republic as Read the Entire Essay.

Training, style, major works, influences, religious themes. Paper Introduction: Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) did more than any individual to create the appearance of Rome as it exists today. As the leading sculptor and architect of the Baroque era, Bernini's talents and tastes meshed perfectly with the Church's demand for an increased magnificence and intensity in religious art. The Catholic Counter-Reformation called for an image of the Church as a triumphant force, undiminished by the heretical efforts of the Protestant reformers. Throughout the city of Rome, the power of Bernini's papal patrons was reflected in the sumptuous fountains, tombs, and religious sculpture he supplied. At St. Peter's, the very heart of Catholicism, Bernini transformed the church (both inside and out) with designs whose magnificent theatricality was matched by a fervent intensity. Three major examples of Bernini's work demonstrate the nature of his enormous Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Inspirational sources for imagery & symbolism in famous tryptych, critical views, alchemical aspects. Paper Introduction: The Dutch painter Hieronymous Bosch (c. 14501516) was noted for his use of unusual symbols and imagery. This can be seen, for example, in his famous triptych the Garden of Earthly Delights, which is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid. This paper will examine the inspirational sources for the imagery in this painting. In this way, an effort will be made to determine whether Bosch was influenced by religious, alchemical, or other types of symbols when he painted the work. Some art historians have argued for a religious interpretation of the Garden of Earthly Delights. For example, Glum considers the work to be a scene depicting "divine judgment." According to Glum's view, the painting symbolizes the consequences of giving in to sensual pleasures, or sin. In this regard, the figures in the central panel are oblivious to the Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: This paper will analyze the painting Madonna and Child with Adoring Angel (c. 1468), by Sandro Filipepi Botticelli. The work consists of tempera paint on panel and it stands at 35 x 26-3/4 inches. The subject matter of the painting shows Mary affectionately holding the baby Jesus while a nearby angel looks on. The context of the work is the early Italian Renaissance. In contrast to the strictly religious themes of the medieval period, the early Renaissance was a time when humanism was becoming increasingly important in painting. In addition, the early Renaissance saw the development of increased naturalism in terms of pictorial style. Botticelli was born in about 1444 or 1445 and he died in 1510. He was a Florentine painter who is closely associated with the patronage of the Medici family. The Madonna and Child with Read the Entire Essay.

Italian Renaissance sculptor/architect. Paper Introduction: Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446) was an important figure in Italian Renaissance art during the early fifteenth century. A resident of Florence, Brunelleschi was widely known during his time as a sculptor and architect. In addition, he made important contributions to the development of perspective as seen in the arts of drawing and painting. Without a doubt, however, Brunelleschi's greatest achievements were in the field of architecture. One of Brunelleschi's innovations in architecture was the development of the use of accurate proportions. Most architects during his time attempted to plan their buildings without making careful use of the principles of geometric design. In contrast, Brunelleschi sought to replace "the earlier builders' freehand treatment of arithmetical ratios with exact measurements" (Gilbert 70). In making this innovation, Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Life & career of Russian Jewish painter, focusing on artistic significance of 1912 portrait. Paper Introduction: Marc Chagall (1887-1985) was a painter, graphic artist and stage designer whose unique style never belonged to any particular twentieth century school of art but drew on many of them. Chagall's Jewish upbringing, the political status of Jews in Russia, the background of Russian folk art and the events of Russian history had an enormous impact on his work. The interest in historical events and in serious problems are not often guessed at because of the lyrical, joyous nature of Chagall's work. But Chagall, because he primarily invented his own style, drew on every possible source in the world that surrounded him. He was an artist who "absorbed the tremors which shook the world around him and translated these into his language" (Kamensky 41). Chagall's 1912 painting The Soldier Drinks was painted during his first stay in Paris, and it Read the Entire Essay.

Christo has crated massive works which have also captured a good deal of publicity, making him one of the better known artists of the time, though some of the publicity has been negative, as when a woman was killed by one of the umbrellas Christo had placed in a field in California. Modernism and postmodernism are forces that have been in competition but that are also part of a flow in the same direction, a flow of artistic movement yearning toward change within a technological age.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes early 16th cent. painting. Inspiration, subject matter, style, landscape, technique, personality of woman portrayed. Paper Introduction: In Leonardo da Vinci's time (1452 - 1519) his painting of the "Mona Lisa" was already well known for its realism. As the years passed a certain mystery surrounded the lady. The painting seems to suggest soft feminine qualities. The "Mona Lisa" illustrates the use of decreasing color and contrast in the landscape background. Leonardo was one of the first painters to bring this phenomenon to the canvas. All of these factors brought attention to the "Mona Lisa" and it continues to hold people's attention as no painting has before or since. All of these factors make the painting particularly significant, but one additional factor that makes it vital to the art world is the use of the painting in identifying other works as those of Leonardo's. Techniques employed by Leonardo in his works and seen in the Read the Entire Essay.

Stresses "Mona Lisa" & "Virgin of the Rocks;" style, influences, scientific & individualist approaches, myth & ambiguities. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this research is to examine Leonardo de Vinci through a study of his history, style, influences and scientific and individualistic approaches, stressing two of his famous art works, the "Mona Lisa" and the "Virgin of the Rocks." Included in this will be a look at the myths and ambiguities surrounding the man and his legacy. Born near Vinci, Italy, on April 15, 1452, Leonardo lived through the height of the Renaissance period. Trained in Florence in the shop of artist Andrea Verrocchio, he went on to develop an awe-inspiring range of skills, which, based on his notebooks left behind, have only served to confirm that he was truly a "universal genius" (Brizio and Brugnoli 13).

Paper Introduction: LEONARDO DA VINCI Leonardo da Vinci, who lived from 1452 to 1519, was a great Italian painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, biologist, scientist, poet and musician. He was one of the greatest thinkers of all time, and was far ahead of his contemporaries in many fields. Because he was interested in knowing everything about everything, one of the greatest things that Leonardo has left to posterity is his notebooks, in which Leonardo describes his view of the world and his theories as to why things are the way they are. In these five thousand pages of notes concerning all aspects of thought, such as philosophy, anatomy, astronomy and physics, are notes concerning how to paint artistically (in very precise terms), and also there are notes relating the physical aspects of the human body to the reproduction of the Read the Entire Essay.
