Francis Bacon analysis
Francis Bacon analysis The piece that I will be analysing is called 'Portrait of Pope Innocent X' by the 30's artist, Francis Bacon. The painting originates from the Spanish artist Diego Velázquez, who painted the original version of the Pope in 1650. It is not of any culture, but Bacon said he wanted an excuse to use those colours. It belongs to no tradition, but in my own opinion, Bacon adopted his own tradition by making all his paintings gruesome and violent. The painting looks like acrylic paint on a canvas, and it's a painting of Pope Innocent X. It's really abstract, as if the artist was lashing at the canvas with his paintbrushes. The painting just looks really violent. There is the figure of the Pope sitting tightly upright with his face screaming in horror. The supports of the chair he's sitting on have been extended to the sides of the painting. The Popes top rob is violet, and the rest of his gown is white. This gives the painting a ghostly feeling to it. The painting shows that the Pope is screaming, yet it seems that his voice is drowned out by the dark drapes of colours that have covered the painting; this also lends a nightmarish and grotesque tone to it. The Pope also looks as if he is in pain, though nothing is touching or harming him. Bacon has used the bright yellow lines to define the chair the Pope is sitting on, and by putting sharp strokes over the
Art Green: Consider the Options
Mark Zaborniak February 28, 2009 Art 1100 Art Green Consider the Options, Examine the Facts, Apply the Logic Green uses lines to create shadows on the main focal point of the painting. The man in the center has many short parallel lines around the seams of his clothing and where the shadow on his shirt should be. The majority of the lines used for shape in the painting are vertical. The two towers in the background of the painting frame the man in the center by rising vertically up around him. All of the shading lines within the painting are horizontal helping to level out the vertical movement in the painting. Green also uses lines to outline the numerous "explosions" in the painting. This allows them to be seen as separate from their surroundings and makes them pop-out to the viewer. One of the most interesting uses of the line is on the "thought bubble" above the mans head. The lines going to the up and left of the bubble make it seem like it has flown in. This sudden arrival of the bubble leads me to believe the thought "NO!" has just popped into the man's head. Lines are also used to frame the picture. The rounded edges of the grey on the sides makes it seem like the painting is being viewed through an old television set. Those same gray framing lines and connected to the horizon line which splits the painting in two behind the man. Shape is a very important aspect
The flat Earth
In the extrusion of plastics, raw thermoplastic material in the form of small beads (often called resin in the industry) is gravity fed from a top mounted hopper into the barrel of the extruder. Additives such as colorants and UV inhibitors (in either liquid or pellet form) are often used and can be mixed into the resin prior to arriving at the hopper. The material enters through the feed throat (an opening near the rear of the barrel) and comes into contact with the screw. The rotating screw (normally turning at up to 120 rpm) forces the plastic beads forward into the barrel which is heated to the desired melt temperature of the molten plastic (which can range from 200 °C/400 °F to 275 °C/530 °F depending on the polymer). In most processes, a heating profile is set for the barrel in which three or more independent PID controlled heater zones gradually increase the temperature of the barrel from the rear (where the plastic enters) to the front. This allows the plastic beads to melt gradually as they are pushed through the barrel and lowers the risk of overheating which may cause degradation in the polymer. Extra heat is contributed by the intense pressure and friction taking place inside the barrel. In fact, if an extrusion line is running a certain material fast enough, the heaters can be shut off and the melt temperature maintained by pressure and friction alone inside

Theresa Gill Paintings Introduction "Art imitates life" The saying above states that arts are the key to understanding our humanity. It is the window to the soul of what we hold to be important - to the beliefs and values of our culture. Art is the products of human creativity. Basically, there are numerous types and classifications of art. Be it dancing, singing, performing on stage, designing, film, photography, computer graphics, architecture, comics and many more. But the most common form of art is painting and sculpture. Written here is a comparative essay between the famous paintings namely Ecce Ancilla Domini worked by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and The Yellow Christ worked by Paul Gaugin and the sculptural works of Francois Rude which is The Departure of the Volunteers of 1792 and the work of Auguste Rene Rodin which is the Honore Balzac. Paintings Ecce Ancilla Domini The painting beside is the Ecce Ancilla Domini or The Annunciation. This painting is a work by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the chief member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This painting portrays the commonly illustrated moment when the Angel Gabriel comes to the Virgin Mary to tell her the news that she will give birth to the Lord. Although Rossetti depends on earlier traditions for many of the symbols he places in the scene, his method of employing these symbols, his depiction of space, and most
What, in your view, is realistic in the paintings by the realist artists? In your answer, refer to at least three different paintings.
WHAT, IN YOUR VIEW, IS REALISTIC IN THE PAINTINGS BY THE REALIST ARTISTS? IN YOUR ANSWER, REFER TO AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT PAINTINGS. The Realist movement would have to be dated back to the 17th Century. During which time, painters such as Gustav Courbet and Jean Francois Millet would have been painting the pieces that would change human conception of 'seeing'. Indeed, even today, the paintings of the Realist movement have had an influence on the human way of life, for this is the representation of the time that the western world became much more independent. It is, perhaps, the keystone to learning to develop, as the artists brought about a way of learning to think and see for ourselves. Painters influenced by the realist movement sought to represent the harsh realities of contemporary life with uncompromising frankness. Gustav Courbet is an important artist to look at when studying Realism. Many may see him as the 'father of Realism', which is understandable seeing as how he held the first one-man exhibition titled "Le Realism", exhibiting works in a context that people were not able to relate to. A classic example of one of his paintings would have to be 'Burial at Ornans'. In this painting, inspired by the death of his grandfather, he expresses realism as a form of not only painting the truth, but, to an extent, as a means of escaping, at the time, the modern

History Never Repeats
History Never Repeats - Inspiration Vs Self-Inspired Johanna Davey Throughout history many new styles of art have been originally born and developed by different cultures and famous artists. From Renaissance to Impressionism, Fauvism to Cubism and even the "primitive" pictures of our distant ancestors the style of art has changed. The difference in the art styles is often very obvious but the more we move into the modern era the more art has evolved and conjoined with each other. But have all the styles of art been discovered and named or are modern day artists still creating pieces that are self-inspired? Self-Inspiration is defined as inspired by ones self. The self-inspiration is drawn from the experiences and emotional happenings in the artist's life and this creates a painting are often similar to a listed 'style" but with a unique and modern flair which twists this style beyond its usual boundaries. In this article I will discuss the difference between two inspired art pieces and two art pieces that have an underlying self inspiration. "Calm at Five Hills," by Ralph Wilson is naturally a realism painting. Realism is an art style that was popular in the 19th century. Realists paint ordinary objects, people and scenes as they appear in real life. The artist makes no attempt to dramatize the scene and only paints it as it truly is. Calm at Five Hills is as the style
The Renaissance, begun in 1350 in Florence, Italy, brought on a rebirth and rediscovery of classical culture.
The Renaissance, begun in 1350 in Florence, Italy, brought on a rebirth and rediscovery of classical culture. It was a definite period of time within itself with new different features coming into terms. These features brought its own unique form of great achievement to society. The most long-lived changes or achievements of the Renaissance in Europe were the invention of printing press, the creation of new artistic event, and the discoveries in the realm of science. All of these could be considered to have the most impact on the world. Gutenberg, named as the father of modern printing, has innovated the process of printing in 1436, which was truly a great achievement on industry and has changed people's life tremendously. The most important aspect of Gutenberg's invention was that it was the first form of printing to use movable type. Before 1436, most books were produced by and for the Church using the process of wood engraving, which required large amount of time and labor source, therefore limited the production and variety of books, narrowed people's scope of knowledge. As the printing press was invented, it made the mass publication and circulation of literature possible. People were able to read different literatures easier and faster. Nevertheless, Gutenberg's innovations did not just make a great achievement on printing industry but in other realms too. The mass
Artist Hitory
Son Of Man This picture is by the seaside as you can see on the picture, this makes the person stand out of the picture because the sea is blue (blue wash). The sky is another light colour making the man stand out against the background even more. The man is in black which is a sad colour, meaning there may have been a funeral or something sad has happened to this person. The also has a apple in front of his face which the artists has related to Adam and Eve were it is the lefts covering there body parts. The man is stood up straight with his fest clenched together meaning he may be angry. The picture is surreal because it has an apple in front of his face and very thing is to perfect the colours and the lines that the artist has used. Song Of Love This picture is by the sea side, the background is a blue sky with clouds and a ship that blends in with the sea by using the sea colours. At the front of the picture there are to fish like creatures talking to each other, They look like they are half human as well because they have human legs. The title may mean that the two human fish are singing with one another. The creatures have blended in with the rock they are sitting on making them not stand out that much, so it looks like the artist has tried too make them look like they have been sat there for a long time. This picture is surreal because of the boat in the
Paris sous la Pluie.
Paris sous la Pluie The first thing that strikes me is the size of the work. About seven feet tall and nine feet wide, this painting dominates its gallery and overwhelms the viewer. The couple in the foreground of the painting is nearly life size, and with the man poised to take another step it seems he might climb right over the frame and walk right into the gallery. The bold perspective thrusts the scene outward, and with details such as the sharply receding roofline of the main building and the acute tilt of the street, geometric and visual effects are created which push and pull the viewer and instill the painting with action. This work is more complex and detailed then one might first imagine, and with such a rich surface and vast array of minutiae it truly requires an "in person" viewing for full comprehension. Painted in 1877 by the wealthy painter/impressionist connoisseur Gustave Caillebotte, Paris, A Rainy Day is a depiction of a familiar five-way intersection in a wealthy area of Paris near the artist's home on a rainy and overcast day. A host of characters are dispersed throughout the canvas, strolling about and engaging in usual daily activities. The expansive street and uniform architecture, common in Paris after Haussmann's renovations, are accentuated, and in many ways the work is a verisitic snapshot of modern everyday life. In the foreground a well to
