Views of Aleph Sanctuary
The painting "Views of Aleph Sanctuary" by Mati Klarwein, 1963-1971 (re-created in 2004), is another modern work of art that was painted during the time in America called the "Psychedelic Era." This painting, with its many different details and weird beings really shows how drugs can affect a painter. Like many artists, Klarwein used very unusual materials to create this work. He used aluminum, Plexiglas, and fluorescent tubes to help make the design, and the lights help backlight the work and make it look like the sun is shining through stained glass.
The colors in this work are bright, almost like cartoons, and the figures and animals in the art are cartoonish, too. Some of the squares just hold symmetrical designs, while others show scenes of people and nature. They all have an unreal quality to them, which helps make them seem more like a comic book than real life. The work looks like you are looking up into the ceiling of a church, but the scenes make it clear that you are not. The sanctuary is actually made up of many different paintings and works that Klarwein did during his life, and it seems some of them change or mature as they grow older. Many of the people in the paintings are not people at all, but magical beings that seem like they could only live in a picture like this. Some of them look like fairies and other gentle creatures, and there are always lots of flowers and landscaping around them to try to make the scene more real.
This work is so detailed it is hard to take it all in at once. It seems like you could view it again and again and always see something new and different. It is so detailed that it must have taken the artist a very long time to create each of the different pieces. It makes me wonder where artists get their ideas, and how this artist kept coming up with so many vivid pictures. I would call this art "weird," but there is something very interesting about it, too.
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." The paper will provide a context within which to explain and evaluate this sculpture. 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).
