It was concerned with the Industrial Revolution as well, as there were many rebellions at the time against the social and political norms of the Enlightenment period.

The Statue of Eros sleeping is an excellent example of the type of artwork prevalent in the few last centuries BCE. It very well fits in with other artwork from the Hellenistic Period in ancient Greece, where artwork reflects the standard religion. In the 5th century BCE, when Eros became popular, sculptures were also one of the main artwork types created. Following are relations between this statue and the art period that it was created within (Hellenistic) and also its exhibition of the erotic...

ARTlacks a satisfactory definition. It is easier to describe it as the way something is done -- the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others(Britannica Online)-- rather than what it is. Art analysis is one of the most difficult jobs. Claude Monet was born on 14 November 1840 on the 5th floor of 45 rue Laffitte, in the ninth arrondissement of Paris. On the first of April 1851, Monet entered Le Havre secondary school...

Question 9 As a performative artist, critics see Laurie Anderson as a musician or performer whose work has transformed throughout the decades into a creative proclamation of life through her eyes. For each on stage presentation, Anderson encompasses the moment of the decade dressing the part and capturing audiences with her hippie gowns of the 70s and sci-fi, punkish dress of the 80s. Both appearance and spoken words capture the time period. Critic John Howell describes her, saying, This glittering...

Its not surprising that women make up such a small percentage of this list. We must remember that womens rights were never really finalized in the west until the 20th century. Prior to that, women were not even allowed to vote and were basically just seen as wives and mothers, not as people who can excel in their craft.  The dutiesresponsibilities expected from them might have also kept them from producing good work. When they werent busy taking care of the kids or of the household, they were...

The complex relationship between art and architecture has always been a defining feature for both fields. Architects, like artists, are always striving toimpact and transform the lives of those who experience their work.This was no different with the construction projects behind the Tate Modern and Saatchi Gallery, however,Tate Modern went on to become oneof the most popular attractions in Great Britain whereas the Saatchi Gallery did not. Again,a variety ofdifferent but specific factorsmust be...

Art and business are two fields I have deep connection with. Coming from two majors in my current college, communication and business administration, are evidenced to this. I have found a perfect amalgamation of these in one field though, Museology. My interest in Museology blossomed from my internship experience in the International Relations and PR Department of the National Museum of Korea. My tasks were newspaper clipping, updating the Museums blog, and assisting both ordinary museum viewers...

Introduction Surrounded by thousands of photographic images, we often take it for granted that in addition to supplying information and seducing customers, camera images also serve as decoration, afford spiritual enrichment, and provide significant insights into the passing scene. But in decades surrounding the discovery of photography, the question of whether photography is an art and its influence on modern art has often arisen. This has led to means of fitting this mechanical medium into traditional...

It has been argued by scholars that Tiziano Vecellio, better known to most as Titian, is the most accomplished and valuable painters of the High Renaissance.  He studied under the direction of prominent mentors “Sebastiano Zuccati (d 1527), and then successively to Gentile Bellini, Giovanni Bellini and finally was associated with Giorgione”,# and managed to adapt the stylistic methods of fellow artist’s aesthetics with his own.  That is not to say the Titian was merely a commercial artist,...
