Ghada Amer: Love Has No End
Ghada Amer's exhibit "Love Has No End." was at Brooklyn Museum during April. This art is made of acrylic, embroidery, and gel medium on canvas, and it is very bright and modern to look at. The artist, born in Egypt in 1963, calls herself an artist, but she really can do sculpture, and she uses embroidery, a needle art, in her work, too. In Red Diagonales, this work looks like a big red cloud is raining (or crying) down on the canvas, and the colors behind the rain make it have more impact and sharpness. Her works all use a lot of bright color and interesting design, and she uses embroidery in almost all of them, which is very different and unique to her art. It is like she is using two different kinds of art to show women and women's issues in a very traditional female art - needlework, but in a very untraditional way. Her art is modern, but it can be traditional, too, because of the embroidery.
Another famous feminist work in Brooklyn is "The Dinner Party" by Judy Chicago. It is a permanent exhibit in the Elizabeth a. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, and it is very different from Amer's work. This is more like a presentation, where there are 39 places to sit, and each place represents a different woman from history. This is an important work because it recognizes women and their accomplishments, and it is permanent, so many people will get to experience and enjoy it. It is a very big piece, and it is hard to really comprehend it at first. Sometimes, it does not seem like art, because it is just setting a table, but you can see that a lot of work went into it, and that the artist thought a lot about the colors, the textures, and how to present each woman. The table runners also have embroidery, which ties them into Amer's work, but this seems much more traditional, because it uses items familiar to many women - table settings, but it uses them in a new way, as art. Amer's work is very modern, and does not seem to have so much to do with women as Chicago's work, which clearly does.
The above perception of the insanity of life is not at all apparent in the second painting of Georges Seurat. While it is mystical, it gives too much quiescence that is there with the impressionistic style. This like Picasso's painting above is a happy trip and does not exhibit as much negative energy as Picasso. He also does not seem to be trying to summon any primitive energies. Rather Seurat's
Art "Sacrifice of Isaac" Analysis This paper will focus upon Lorenzo Ghiberti and one of his artistic works called "Sacrifice of Isaac."

Referencing art history, world history, and the artist's personal history, the paper will explore and analyze "Sacrifice of Isaac" as a seminal work of a famous artist that serves as a masterpiece representing the entire artistic
Art Culture: Public Space Art Public art like that of Koon's Train (2011), Serra's Tilted Arc (1981), Lin's Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1981), and James' Sea Flower (1978), ignite discussion to the point of its modification, re-arrangement, or removal. The reason for this controversial treatment of public art is its ability to embrace a variety of aesthetic practices. The adoption of different aesthetic values like poster art, outdoor sculpture, earthworks, multimedia projections,
This work of art depicts a struggle between two ancestors, the Bungalung man and a Tingari man, the latter of whom was trespassing on sacred land (No author). The copious quantity of dots, particularly the white ones, evinces the full force of the elements invoked by the Bungalung Man to beat his opponent into submission. The power of the Bungalung man is evinced by the fact that he leaves
Art of classical antiquity, in the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome, has been much revered, admired, and imitated. In fact, the arts of ancient Greece and Rome can be considered the first self-conscious and cohesive art movements in Europe. Style, form, execution, and media were standardized and honed to the point where aesthetic ideals were created and sustained over time. The art of classical antiquity in Greece and Rome
Art During Renaissance The Evolution of Art During the Renaissance The Renaissance period is defined as a cultural movement that spanned approximately from the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe (Brotton 2006, p. 6).
