Red Disaster

Katherine Kerr Art History 9/18/13 Ms. Freeman Red Disaster by Andy Warhol When visiting the Museum of Fine Art, Boston, One would probably not head straight to the contemporary art wing. With several prominent artists on display, hours could be spent drifting through the American wing, rife with Copleys, or looking at the Ancient Near Eastern art. Some don?t even know that the contemporary wing is no longer under construction and open to the public. However, amid the numerous beeping sounds of people standing too close to art, or simply being ignorant of the fact that what stands before them is not trash that someone had left in the exhibit, there hangs 12 silkscreened pictures with an important message on a red background stark against a white wall.

Religion influences

4.04 Religion influences art by bringing to the forefront of the artwork important principals and lessons that are taught in that specific religion. The Islamic example I selected is the dome of the Selimiye Mosque. The other work of art I have selected is Christ as the Good Shepherd from the Catacomb of Priscilla. Both of these works of art have elements specific to their religion.

Trey Sullivan Pablo Picasso Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881, in Malaga. He died on April 8, 1973, in Mougins. He was famous for painting, sculpting, and printmaking, but he is most known for his painting. He was raised in France and was trained by his father. He also received training at the Real Acedemia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. He showed signs of being a very good artist at a young age In the year 1900 Picasso made his first trip to Paris which at the time was the art capitol of the world. His first year there was spent in poverty; he even had to burn his own work to heat his small apartment. Then in 1901 he moved to Madrid and began drawing for a magazine. In 1905 his work started to be collected.

One of Dali's most famous paintings, the Peristence of Memory is one of the best examples of surrealism. It is realistically painted, but so strange that there is no doubt that it is a painting.

The representation of the human figure in a culture?s artwork reflects the central values of the culture that artwork belongs to. A marble sculpture from the Greek Period, Kroisos, found in Anavyssos and made around 530 BC and a hand-painted ceramic Mochica Portrait vessel from around 400 AD both express an individual value system from each of their cultures. Kroisos, a marble statue from Greece, has many features that link him to the Greek values placed on the human body. This sculpture is idealized with defined muscles and natural proportions. The Greeks saw the human body as perfect. It was used in many and nearly all forms of art because it was seen as the center of all things and the ideal form of perfection.
